The 42nd reunion of Hood's Texas Brigade honored the late General John B. Hood, for whom Fort Hood was named. Meetings were held in First Baptist Church, and transportation from Carnegie Library, the convention headquarters, was provided by one of the first auto parades in Temple. J.W. Stevens, chaplain of Hood's original brigade, conducted the annual memorial ceremony. Other speakers included Dr. T.A. Pope of Cameron and Hon. W.B. Lane, State Comptroller. The convention ended with a rousing rendition of the Confederate war song "Dixie." This association, founded in 1872, held reunions until 1934.
