Belton Journal Newpaper, Bell County, Tx ---Jan 31, 1918
Transcribed by Janet Gardner.

The Belton Journal, Thursday, Jan. 31, 1918-Bell County Rangers and
Confederate Soldiers-By Geo. W. TYLER-For some time I have been
endeavoring to make up the Muster Rolls of the Bell County ante-
bellum Ranging Squads, and of the companies of soldiers contributed
by Bell County to the Confederate and State service during the Civil
War, 1861-65. The rolls in the Adjutant General's office of Texas were
destroyed when the old capitol building was accidentally burned in 1881.
Some of these Confederate Company rolls (not all of them) are in the
Confederate Archives of the War Department at Washington, but copies of
them cannot now be obtained on account of t he stress of then world war
upon the clerical force of the Department. From various sources, but
mostly from the memories of survivors, I have constructed and present
below, in the chronological order of their enlistment, the rolls of
the following:

Bell County Rangers
Four Ranger organizations, comprising of 118 names.
Confederate Soldiers
Ten Confederate and State Companies (two of them very incomplete) 887 name=
s
"Scattering List" (Bell County men whose companies are unknown or who
enlisted elsewhere) comprising of 150 names. Total Confederate and State
Soldiers equals 1,037 names. And Bell County had only about 4,000 white
population in 1861! Early in the war the enlistment's were for a limited
time, at the expiration of which some men came home. Others resigned or
were discharged for ill health or other causes. These same men often
enlisted in other companies. Besides there were occasionally two men
with the same name, in the same or different Companies. Hence the
duplication of some names. Present addresses of survivors, when known,
are given. There are doubtless many errors and omissions in these rolls
and to correct these is the main purpose of the present publication. I
earnestly requested everyone to advise me promptly of any error in or
omission from these rolls that may be noticed and to supply given names
where they are missing. If anyone has a Muster Roll of any company and
will lend it to me I will copy and promptly return same. When corrected
and perfected, as far as possible, these Rolls will be preserved in
permanent form in our County Records and in our history. My only purpose
is to honor the memories of our rangers and soldiers of those old days of
the fifties and sixties. Most of them are in their graves and the others
are falling rapidly. The only surviving Confederate Captains are J. Swan
BIGHAM of Belton and John F. SMTH of Galveston. While our young men are
answering the "call to the colors" in the world war for Liberty, it is a
good time to spend a thought upon the gallant men who guarded our frontier=

and who later went out from Bell County in the defense of the "Lost Cause.=
"

We have delayed too long. Won't you help me to attend to this sacred duty
now?
Respectfully, Geo. W. TYLER, -Belton, Texas.
