INTRODUCTORY
THIS little volume is offered to the Comrades of the Grand Army of the Republic in the County of Otsego in response to repeated suggestions that the names of the members of the order, together with the history of each Post, might be brought together for reference and for preservation in some enduring form. The original suggestion has been somewhat amplified, and a complete history of the Order, from its inception in 1866 to date, has been included, while there has been added certain valuable statistics and miscellaneous matter to supply piquancy and interest to the monotonous detail of the facts and figures indespensible to a satisfactory presenta- tion of the work as originally begun.
It has been a labor of fraternal and interested love throughout many weeks, a number of things having con- spired to delay its completion. The figures and tables of statistics have been compared and reverified with orig- inal Department and other reports, and it is hoped the book is reasonably free from inexcusable errors.
The few select advertisers, whose love for the soldier and whose disinterested generosity have made the publi- cation of this little volume possible, are most heartily recommended to your favor.
HISTORY
OF THE
GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC.
By Past Commander-in-Chief George S. Merrill.
One of the most powerful organizations of the country is the Grand Army of the Republic.
This noble order, born in the stirring and bitter days that followed the close of the war, saw its first struggles for recognition extremely hard. Politics leaked into the organization, leading to its practical dismemberment. But it was again set on its feet, "Fraternity, Charity and Loyalty" were made its watch words, politics were ex- cluded from the Order, and it has grown marvelously un- til, to-day, its noble work is felt in every section of the country-from the metropolitan city down to the smallest hamlet.
ITS ORIGIN.
Dr. Benjamin Franklin Stephenson, of Springfield, Ill., Surgeon of the Fourteenth Illinois Infantry, must be re- garded as the father of the organization. Soon after his return from the seat of war, he conceived the idea of banding together, into a common brotherhood, the survi- vors of the awful conflict; and, communicating his idea to Chaplain W. J. Ruttlege, of the same regiment, the two went to work to perfect an organization. Others were invited into the work, and, in the early part of 1866, a ritual for the proposed order, prepared by Stephenson,
-6-
was printed in the Decatur Tribune. This attracted the attention of about a dozen Decatur veterans to whom, under date of April 6th, 1866, a charter was granted; con- stituting Post 1. Stephenson's name was signed to the charter as Department Commander. The men whom Stephenson had first interested with others, in June, 1866, organized as Post 2, of Springfield, the charter list in- cluding 27 names. The work of organizing new posts now began and was rapidly pushed forward, and the Order extended into Indiana, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Iowa, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, Arkansas, Massa- chusetts, New York, Maryland and Wisconsin, July 12th the Department of Illinois was formed, with Gen. John M. Palmer as Commander. Dr. Stephenson, assuming the position as Acting Commander-in-Chief, issued a call for the first National Convention, to meet in Indianapolis Nov. 20th, 1866. Two hundred and twenty-eight dele- gates were entitled to representation, coming from the Departments of Iowa, Indiana, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Wisconsin, Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania, Missouri and the District of Columbia, all of these States having orga- nized Departments, formed since the first of July. At this meeting Gen. S. A. Hurlbut was chosen Comman- der-in-Chief of the G. A. R., he being the first one elected to the office. From this out the organization enjoyed a phenominal growth, but nothing like exactness as to the membership can be learned. No reports or records were made, but it is presumed that it at one time reached 200,- 000. In January, 1868, the second National Encampment was held in Philadelphia. It was not a very enthusiastic assemblage, as may be inferred when it is stated that the receipts for the preceding year were but $352, while the expenditures amounted to $1,637, leaving an indebt- edness of $1,285. The next year showed an increasing indebtedness, and this continued until 1872, when, for the
-7-
first time, a cash balance appeared in the Quarter-Master- General's hands. During these years Illinois and Indiana lent no assistance financially to the National body.
A FALLING OFF.
In 1869, owing to the adoption of unpopular laws, the membership of the organization fell off, and the enthusi- asm of the remaining members waned in a corresponding degree. For years the order was enveloped in the deepest gloom, and the increase in membership, between 1871 and 1878, was but 992, the total membership in the latter year being 31,016. In 1879 the increase was somewhat larger and things again began to brighten up. The organiza- tion underwent a new birth in 1880, and since then has made rapid strides. Each year it has been more success- ful, and to-day it stands at the highest point of success.
The annual reports submitted to the recent National Encampment show that the Grand Army is steadily in- creasing in numbers and works of mercy. Its member- ship was never so large as it is now, and its charities are commensurate with the organization.
While it is true that more than $140,000,000 are annu- ally paid to pensions to the disabled soldiers of the war of the Rebellion, those who are addicted to vulgar de- nunciation of the Union veterans as "pension grabbers" and " subsidy beggars," will do well to exercise self re- straint. The fact that the organization has expended, during the last year, $261,350.18 for the relief of 28,419 cases, is an adequate vindication of its character. The Grand Army is not to be compared to blind Belisarius, standing at the doors of a national capitol and asking alms, but rather to the Good Samaritan, binding up the wounds and pouring in oil.
WHAT IT IS.
The Grand Army is, in itself, the most conspicuous and
-8-
convincing monument of patriotism and loyalty which the world possesses. Despite the inroads of death upon its ranks-more than 7,600 in 1889-it presents an enroll- ment approaching, if not exceeding, half a million of the survivors of the grandest army the world has ever seen- an army of freeman, who, upon the call of their country, forsook everything that was dear to them, animated alone by a spirit of loyalty to liberty and devotion to the flag. During nearly a quarter of a century it has endeav- ored to cherish the memories of the great struggle; to broaden the channels of charity; to deepen the sentiment of loyalty, and, through the tender services of Memorial Day, inculcate lessons of gratitude and awaken anew the sympathies and patriotic impulses of the people. It is banded together with no purpose of politics or thirst for power, welcoming all who were among the Nation's de- fenders, demanding no vows of allegiance except to the country and the flag, asking no pledges except those of fraternity, charity and loyalty. .

Antietam,
At the battle of Antietam the slaughter was so swift and furious that the sluggish little stream, from which the battle takes its name, was discolored for many yards with human blood.
I'd woo thy solitude, sweet stream, I'd seek thy banks at eventide; I'd linger 'neath the sun's last beam, And watch thy curling waters glide.
I'd hear thee sing thy gurgling song, I'd watch thy merry ripples play; Each leaf espy that floats along, Or, eddy-whirled, lists on the way.
I'd strive to win thy confidence, List to thy ceaseless murmuring strife ;- Win thy unguarded innocence, To sing some secret of thy life.
Wouldst tell me of the fearful day, When battling hosts with glittering arms Crowded your banks in deadly fray, And filled the air with war's alarms?
How, 'midst the storm of fire and hail, The noble warior nobly fell; How life-blood flowed-how dread his wail- How whizzed the shot-how shrieked the shell?
How crimson-colored was thy breast, Now splashing heedlessly along,
-11-
Now curling calmly, as at rest, Or filling space with mournful song?
I would no more thy horrors know, No more would hear the doleful strain Of man's death agony : no more go O'er battle-field 'midst scores of slain!
Flow on, then, limpid, lingering stream- Bright waters speed thee on thy way! Play, ripples, play, beneath the beam Of moon by night, of sun by day.
For stainless now, thy crystal flood, No death-cries haunt you as of yore; Old ocean holds your tide of blood, And drowns your death-cries in his roar. -T. E. Royall.

SOME INTERESTING FACTS,
The following interesting facts as to the history of the. war for the Union have been compiled from reliable sources, and, it is believed, will prove both entertaining and valuable :
In all there were 1,882 engagements.
There were 2,011 regiments in the Union armies.
The three days' Union loss at Gettysburg was 25.218.
The first 38 New York regiments were enlisted for two year.
-16-
There were twenty-five infantry corps in the Union armies.
The State of New York furnished to the army 467,047 enlisted men.
There were 45 regiments of infantry that lost over 200 men killed during the war.
The cavalry corps of the Armies of the East and the West lost 10,596 killed in action.
There were 112 battles in the war, in which one side or the other lost over 500 killed and wounded.
In the civil war the Union armies lost 110,070 killed in action; 275,175 wounded; 199,720 died of disease; besides all those "missing in action."
On Sept. 30, 1890, there were 561,938 pensioners of all classes borne upon the rolls of the Washington office; and the annual disbursement for pensions during the ensuing year will exceed $155,000,000.
*
Antietam was the bloodiest battle of the war begun and concluded in a single day. The fighting began at sunrise and ended at 4 o'clock, with a total loss on the Union side of 12,410 killed, wounded and missing.
TO THE VOLUNTEERS OF OTSEGO CO.
M ORE than 30 years ago the struggle for the existence of the nation had fairly opened, eleven states had seceded, a separate government had been organized, the confederates had committed the first act of war by firing upon the flag at Fort Sumter, when the lightning had flashed the telegram to the loyal people of the north that Sumter was in possession of the Southern Confederacy and Major Anderson and his gallant band had surrendered as prisoners of war. There were, within the boundaries of Otsego county, many who had hoped for peace; but now all knew and recognized that, if the Union was pre- served at all, it could only be done by force of arms, and the patriotic sons of Otsego county were rallying to the support of their imperiled country. On the 15th day of April, 1861, the President of the United States issued his first call for 75,000 volunteers. In less than 48 hours from the promulgation of that call, the ranks were filled; and, not only were these in column, but behind this 75,000, stood more than two and one-half millions who, in the light of subsequent history, were ready to go down to battle. In this first contingent, Otsego county had nearly 400 men, and from the commencement of the contest to its termina- tion, under all the calls for troops, this county supplied more than 6,500 volunteers to all branches of the service. Of this little army, which manifested such self-sacrificing devotion, a little less than 2,500 remain residents of the county from which they took up arms, and more than half that number lie buried where they fell, facing the foe. Wherever duty called, whether in camp or hospital. on battle field or in prison, on the weary march or in the
-18-
protracted siege, they ever exhibited sublime loyalty and undaunted courage. Never did the flag go down on bat- tle field or bloody death, on land or sea, but their hands were there to lift it up. They stood on the lonely picket watches of the war, in the trenches, on the dead line, on the long march with Sherman from Atlanta to the Sea, wherever the tide of battle ebbed and flowed, in the east and in the west, on the bloody fields of Virginia and Georgia, at Bull Run, Cold Harbor or on the Peninsula, at Antietam, at Port Hudson, at Petersburg, at Chancel- lorville and in the crowning victory at Gettysburg; where the wave of Rebel invasion was forever dashed back, as it beat in vain against the solid lines of Cemetery Hill, at Wilson's creek, at Malvern Hill or fought under "Old Joe Hooker" above the clouds; and, from the crimson crest of Lookout Mountain, looked down on their former lives as little in comparison with one great deed. Where the Rebel fire was hottest and the bullets the thickest could be found the brave soldiers of Otsego county facing the foe and fighting with unflinching devotion and loftiest courage for their Country's flag. Read the story of how they suffered, how they fought and how they died in every bloody battle field from Bull Run, Appomatox, at Antietam, Cold Horbor, in the last desperate charge on the bloody field of Chancellorville. Read it at Gettysburg or on the frozen banks of Stone River. These are the im- perishable records of the gallant sons of Otsego. They are of the Nation's heros! They were the defenders of its honor ! They are of the men who saved its life !
The Old Man and Jim.
Old man never had much to say- 'Ceptin' to Jim, - An Jim was the wildest boy he had- And the Old man jes' wrapped up in him ! Never heard him speak but once Er twice in my life ;- and first time was When the army broke out, and Jim he went, The Old man backin' him fer three months, - And all 'at I heard the Old man say Was, jes' as he turned to start away,- "Well; good-bye Jim: Take keer of yourse'f !"
'Peard like, he was more satisfied 'Jes' lookin' at Jim And likin' him all to hisse'f like, see, - 'Cause he was jes' wrapped up in him ! And over and over I mind the day The Old man come and stood round in the way While we was drillin', a watchin' Jim- And down at the depot a-heerin' him say, - "Well; good-bye. Jim: Take keer of yourse'f !"
Never was nothin' about the farm Disting'ished Jim ;- Neighbors all ust to wonder why The Old man 'peared wrapped up in him; But when Cap. Biggler, he rit back 'At Jim was the bravest boy he had In the whole dern rigiment, white er black, And his fightin' good as his farmin' bad --- 'At he had led, with a bullet clean Bored through his thigh, and carried the flag Through the bloodiest battle you ever seen, - The old man wound up a letter to him
-20 --
'At Cap. read to us, 'at said, -"Tell Jim Good-bye:
And take keer of hisse'f."
Jim come back jes' long enough To take the whim
'At he like to go back in the cavalry- And the Old man jes' wrapped up in him !- Jim 'lowed 'at he'd had sich luck afore, Guessed he'd tackle her three years more. And the Old man gave him a colt he'd raised And follored him over to Camp Ben Wade, And laid around fer a week er so
Watchin' Jim on dress parade- Tel finally he rid away, And last he heerd was the Old man say,- "Well; good-bye, Jim: Take keer of yourse'f!"
Tuk the papers, the Old man did, A-watchin' fer Jim- Fully believin' he'd make his mark Some way-jes' wrapped up in him !- And many a time the word 'u'd come 'At stirred him up like the tap of a drum -- At Petersburg, fer instance, where Jim rid right into their cannons there, And tuk 'em, and p'inted 'em t'other way, And socked it home to the boys in gray, As they skooted for timber, and on and on- Jim a lieutenant and one arm gone, And the Old man's words in his mind all day,- "Well; good-bye, Jim: Take keer of yourse'f!"
Think of a private now, perhaps, We'll say like Jim, 'At's clumb clean up to the shoulder-straps- And the Old man jes' wrapped up in him! Think of him-with the war plum' through, And the glorious old Red-White-and Blue A-laughin' the news down over Jim And the Old man, bendin' over him- The surgeon turnin' away with tears
-21-
'At hadn't leaked fer years and years- As the hand of the dyin' boy clung to His father's, the old voice in his ears,- "Well, good-bye, Jim; Take keer of yourse'f!"
-James Whitcomb Riley.
