GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC.



    Phil. H. Sheridan Post No. 72, organized in 1895, has had an eventful

history. At one time, with one hundred and twenty-three Civil War veterans in

the county, one hundred and two had their names upon the roll.



    Through the earnest and persistant efforts of the Woman's Relief Corps the

Post has a place of meeting in a fine Grand Army and Relief Corps building.



    Many members have removed from the state and within less than one year five

have answered to their last roll call. There are now only fifteen members, the

oldest being in his eighty-fourth year and the youngest member sixty-three.



    The ownership of the lot and building is vested in the Grand Army Post and

the Woman's Relief Corps and when the last roll call has been sounded the

property will revert to the city of Faulkton for a public library building.



    The following is a list of officers:



John W. Hays, Commander.

A. A. Andrews, Senior Vice Commander.

H. A. Wilkinson, Junior Vice Commander.

George J. Jarvis, Adjutant.

M. S. McDearmon, Quarter Master.

Thos. O'Neil, Officer of the Day.

L. D. Wood, Officer of the Guard.

A. J. Sprague, Chaplain.
