	LIST OF G. A. R. POSTS IN S. DAK.

Alphabetical list of Posts, South Dakota 
Grand Army of the Republic, with names of 
veterans residing for a longer or shorter time in 
the state.



			GEDDES
		Gen. Sheridan Post No. 43
	The above name and number were first given to the post at 
Bloomington, which was organized in 1883. When the railroad 
was extended to Geddes in 1888 the post was moved there, 
where it existed until 1915, at which time there were but two 
members left. Its largest membership was in 1889 - 27. The 
records cannot be found but Comrade J. C. McLain furnished a 
list of the members and the post officers' names were secured 
from department records.
