Here in Goldsboro, North Carolina, the local Sons of Confederate Veterans camp is the Goldsboro Rifles 760.
They are named after Co. A of the 27th North Carolina Infantry which was called the Goldsboro Rifles who came from the Wayne County area.
A member will be giving a talk on the group later in May at the Wayne County Historical Museum.
The Rifles continued to exist until World War I as one of my great uncles was a lieutenant in it.
After the war, the Rifles were instrumental in having the Confederate monument erected in the city's Willowdale Cemetery.
