This is the insert from the Confederate Veteran, July 1897, announcing the Seventh Annual Reunion of the United Confederate Veterans in Nashville, Tennessee, June 22-24, 1897. Being a veteran of the Civil War, John Williamson Moran would've naturally attended the event.
Moran Place is located in Dresden,TN. Built by John Williamson Moran for his wife Sophia Riley Gunn. The house used a modified design of George Barber's Cottage no. 36 from his Cottage Souvenir Book No. 2. Construction began in 1895 but was put on hold when Sophia Moran became ill. She died Oct. 7 1895. A few months after her death construction resumed. This blog is about the history of the Moran family & their life at Moran Place. Money is fleeting, History is forever.
