In 1867 after the war between the states with "For God and Country" her motto she rode the country side of Campbellton Co., GA to assemble the comrades of her fallen husband to a basket dinner ant "to talk over the war". Thus began the Confederate Reunions. She lived to be 86 years of age, dying at Corsicana, Texas April 14, 1915.
