United Daughters of the Confederacy. Texas Division

On May 25, 1896 Katie Currie Muse organized the Texas Division in Victoria, Texas. The group worked to preserve the memory of those that had served in the Confederate armies and in commemorating historic locations, helped to fund the Confederate Home for Men, and the Confederate Women's Home, solicited financial donations for Southern history studies, and provided academic scholarships. The United Daughters of the Confederacy originated from the Civil War's southern local aid societies. In the postwar period local groups helped with the Confederate soldiers homes. By 1890s, the disparate groups coalesced into individual state organizations.
