TEXANS WHO WORE THE GRAY by Sid S. Johnson 

S. C. TULLOS.

Resolutions adopted by W. B. Plemons Camp, Amarillo, Texas, on 
September 16, 1906, express their loss in the death of  S. C. Tullos, 
an esteemed member, of whom it is stated that he was born in Bedford 
county, Tenn., March 9, 1838.  He enlisted in Co. F, 4th Tennessee 
Regiment, in May, 1861, and participated in many battles and endured 
many hard campaigns.  Being pleased with his gallantry and ability, 
Gen. Earl Van Dorn appointed him as aid de camp on his staff, which 
position he occupied when the General was killed.  He afterwards was 
detailed for the bodyguard of President Davis.  After the fall of the 
Confederacy, he accepted the changed conditions and set about to help 
build up the waste places, and in his citizenship reflected honor as 
did his soldiership for the Confederacy.  He was married in 1867 to
Miss Josie Robison, who has stood by him through an eventful life to 
the end on the 22nd of August, 1906.  A son and two daughters are 
left as her comfort in this affliction.
