The Lt. Thomas D. Lattimore Chapter of the MOSB was formed by descendants and relations of the officer to honor his commitment to the Confederacy and his role as a historian and supporter of commemoration events following the war. Lt. Thomas D. Lattimore wrote the official history of the 34th N.C. Regiment for inclusion in Clark's History of the Civil War. After the war he served as the Clerk of Superior Court of Cleveland County, NC for 22 years. During that time he was the leader/planner of many Confederate veterans reunion events in Shelby, NC, and throughout the state.

The Lt. Thomas D. Lattimore Chapter plans to care for his gravesite (as well as the grave of his wife Matilda) in the Sunset Cemetery in Shelby N.C. In addition to regular spring and fall cleaning days, the chapter plans to place wreaths on the couple's graves each Christmas season.

In addition, the chapter plans to care for the grave of Judge G. W. Logan, a member of the Confederate Congress. His grave is in the Rutherfordton City Cemetery, in Rutherford County, NC. The stone is badly damaged and is in need of repair. The Lt. Thomas D. Lattimore Chapter of the MOSB plans to raise money to repair the stone. In addition, the chapter plans to place a holiday wreath on his grave each December.
