TEXANS WHO WORE THE GRAY by Sid S. Johnson 
R. W. McGREW

R. W. McGrew, who died Dec. 22, 1906.  He was a member of Ben 
McCulloch Camp, No. 563.  He was one of Tom Green's brave and 
gallant men and to his memory the camp adopted the following:
"Resolved, That this organization, some of whom have known this 
brother from our youth, mourn with heartfelt sympathy the loss 
from our midst of a faithful and patriotic Confederate soldier.  
He was a member of Co. A. 7th Texas Cavalry, Green's Brigade, 
remaining at his post of honor until the surrender.  He bore 
wounds on his body received at the brilliant capture of Galveston 
on January 1, 1863.  We here extend to his faithful wife and 
devoted children the deep sympathy of all members of this Camp, 
of which he was a charter member in good standing."  L. Ballou, 
W. T. Melton, T. H. Marsden, committee.
