Colorado Camp History

Jefferson Davis Camp Number 175 was organized on May 22nd, 1900 in Colorado Springs and chartered on May 31st, 1900 by the United Sons of Confederate Veterans. It was the first camp formed within the Colorado Division of the Department of the Trans-Mississippi and had 21 members. Joseph D. Showalter was elected as Camp Commander, Daniel P. Ottenheimer as Adjutant, and L.M. Duncan as Chaplain.

The camp’s organizing official was Walter R. Kivett and its official sponsor was Mrs. Margaret Howell Jefferson Davis Hayes, a Colorado Springs resident and the daughter of former Confederate States of America President Jefferson Davis. Mr. Kivett later served as Camp Commander. The camp grew quickly and had 110 members by 1904.
