vided tombstones for fallen Confederate soldiers throughout
Texas, Alabama and Oklahoma.
The monument to the Civil War soldiers of Johnson Coun-
ty at the Cleburne Memorial Cemetery is one of the camp’s
proudest accomplishments. It is a memorial to local soldiers
who were held at Camp Douglas in Illinois, a northern prison
camp, and were interred in a mass grave there. They honor
these fallen soldiers of Johnson County because no matter
how you feel about the war, our forefathers fought coura-
geously for what they believed was right at the time.
Terry’s Texas Rangers Camp No. 1937 strives to educate
school-age children on the history of the War Between the
States at festivals and celebrations throughout Texas while
demonstrating life in a camp, displaying memorabilia and
through battle reenactments.
An added bonus to this year’s festival will be an acoustic con-
cert by Sonny Burgess at 7:30 p.m. Gates will open for the

author of “Generals in Gray,”
tells us that Cleburne was one of two foreign-born officers to
attain the rank of major general in the Confederate service.
General Patrick R. Cleburne was a native of County Cork,
Ireland. He immigrated to America in 1849, arriving in New
Orleans and later settling in Arkansas where he was a drug-
gist and successful attorney acquiring considerable land be-
fore the War Between the States. He served the Confederacy
from 1861 until his death at the battle of Franklin in 1864.
General Patrick R. Cleburne was respectfully referred to as
the “Stonewall Jackson of the West.”
Once again citizens will have the opportunity to celebrate
the birthday of General Patrick Cleburne while attending the
Heritage Celebration and Scottish Festival on Saturday, April
6th from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at Buddy Stewart Park on
Hwy 67 W. Sponsored by HEB, this free-to-the-public festi-
val will include the Hill College Brass Band, country artist
Mikayla Griffin, Wild West show, period style show along
with historians, storytellers, war re-enactors and living his-
tory groups.

Dan W. Taylor, C.L.U.
In the seventies, British hay land targeted the great US of A
as their primary market for this cute little sports roadster.
She had a healthy six-cylinder engine and four-wheel in-
dependent suspension. Sales were strong with first year
figures at 10,000, and growing each year. Competition
was non-existent for the $5,000.00 price tag. Datsun
Z-cars were close, but no convertible was offered. The
4-cylinder imports such as the MGB, BMW 2002 or the
popular Jensen-Healey cost more. The Lotus and Alfa
Romeo spider were faster, but Triumph outsold them by
two to one. Several changes began in 1973 with new US
safety requirements. So plastic bumpers and air dams
were added in 1974. The optional wire wheels were
eliminated. But overdrive and a newly designed instru-
ment cluster gave buyers even more reasons to buy the
TR-6. By 1975 the TR-7 revealed the handwriting on the
wall for Triumph. The new changes were not widely ac-
cepted by Triumph owners. The market had a final brisk
surge for the last real sports car and values even crept
up slightly. By 1990, the market was very different as
Honda and Mazda introduced 4-wheel steering. I bought
one of those Honda Preludes in 1990. It was agreat car,
but don’t bump a curb. The control pins for the rear steer-
ing are very sensitive. Prices for Triumphs never crashed,
but really didn’t change much for almost 20 years. By
2000, the TR-6 was recognized as a true Classic. These
English sports cars were a product of the late 60’s and car-
ried into the mid 70’s. Even in 2000-2005, you could still
find a nice driver for around $5,000.00. Today, they are
being restored to pristine condition and will fetch around
8-10 grand. Engish- specification fuel-injected cars or
well done conversions will bring as much as $20,000.00.,
These wide range values tell us that the market hasn’t set-
tled yet. But keep an eye on these sporty beauties as low-
er priced Classics start selling again. By the way, Dr.Mac,
(McDavid Mahaffey) has a real beauty. And, he drives it
a lot. The best medicine for any Classic. So watch the
parking lot at Family Medicine and you might be lucky
enough to get a look. And Remember” Drive a Classic...
You Deserve it.”
