THE GRAND ARMY POSTS .- This chapter would, by many, be judged to have been properly completed with the disbandment of the soldiers and the pay- ment of the debts aecruing from the Civil War, but the publishers of this history have considered that the real history of the contest in Westchester County can never be said to be finished till that of the "Graud Army of the Republic," within its borders, be also told.

That the writer of the preceding pages should have been requested to add thereto on account of the or- ganization of the Graud Army in the county seems both natural and proper, and he uudertakes the task with willingness, inasmuch as there is a great deal of misapprehension, among the people at large, as to the object and scope of action of the body of veterans which exists'under that name. A brief sketch of the order itself, and of the connection of this county

therewith, will prove of interest to all patriotic citi- zeus, of whatever faith in politics.

The first " post " of the order was formed in one of the Western States, in the year after the close of the war, but it was not till the year 1867 that the idea was developed into a harmonious whole, with a regular system of military discipline, and the differ- ent units of " post," "department " and " national " headquarters. In its hierarchy, the familiar routine of military life was followed, as far as possible, with features common to secret social and benevolent societies, following the father of all such bodies- Freemasonry.

At the beginning of the organization of the order there was a great deal more of this similarity than now prevails, the initiation being of a solemn character, calculated to try the nerves of the recruits ; the forms of Masonry being imitated by the institu- tion of the successive degrees of "recruit," " soldier " and "veteran "-so called. These degrees were abolished by the National Encampment, a few years after the first formation of the order, and the rules have been simplified in regard to initiations and other points of ritual, till the Grand Army of the Republic can hardly be said to be in any sense a " secret " society, any more than an army in the field, in which the countersigu for passing a sentry at night is the ouly thing not patent to all the world.

The objects of the order, set forth in the rules and regulations (Chap. 1, Art. 11) are as follows :

"1. To preserve and strengthen those kind and fraternal feelings which bind together the soldiers, sailors and marines who united to suppress the late Rebellion, and to perpetuate the memory and history of the dead.

"2. To assist such former comrades in arms as need help and protec- tion, and to extend needful aid to the widows and orphans of those who have fallen.

"3. To maintain trne allegiance to the United States of America, based upon a paramount respect for, and fidelity to, the National Gov- ernment and laws ; to discountenance whatever teuds to weaken loyalty, incites to insurrection, treason or rebellion, or in any manner impairs the efficiency of our free institutions ; and to encourage the spread of universal liberty, equal rights and justice to all men."

The persons eligible to membership are all honor- ably discharged soldiers, sailors and marines, "who served between April 12, 1861, aud April 9, 1865," and the members of State regiments that were must- ered into United States service between those dates, and became " subject to the orders of United States general officers." No person who has at any time, even under compulsion, borne arms against the United States can be admitted to membership, even though otherwise eligible.

The last roster of New York (1885) shows a total of five hundred and forty-one posts in the State, with an average of fifty members or over. Of these, the county of Westchester counts as her own the following : Post Kitching, No. 60, of Yonkers ; Post Vosburgh, No. 95, of Peekskill; Post Powell, No. 117, of Sing Sing; Post MeKeel, No. 120, of Katonah; Post Morell, No. 144, of Sing Sing : Post Stewart Hart,

HISTORY OF WESTCHESTER COUNTY.

No. 169, of Mount Kisco; Post Farnsworth, No. 170, of Mount Vernon ; ; Post H. B. Hidden, No. 330, of City Island; Post Charles Lawrence, No. 378, of Port Chester; Post Cromwell, No. 466, of White Plains ; Post W. B. Burnett, No. 496, of Tarrytown, and Post Horatio Seymour, No. 590, of Yonkers, making a total of twelve posts at the present writing. The Tarrytown post was lately organized, to replace an older post (Acker, No. 182) which had given up its charter to the Department Encampment, owing to the lack of interest manifested by the citizens of the place ; but reorganized with its present name and number, under the energetic management of a veteran who had formerly commanded the Peekskill post, but had moved to Tarrytown, after his term of office in Peekskill had expired. Horatio Seymour Post is an off-shoot of Kitching, No. 60.

Without further delay we append the rosters of the posts, in numerical order.

Kitching Post, No. 60, of Yonkers .- This post was chartered January 7, 1868, but the name of the must- ering officer failed to be recorded on the minute-book of the post. The charter members were :

E. Y. Morris, S. C. Van Tassel, James Stewart, Patrick Kelly, G. W. Farnum, A. H. Tompkins, E. C. Nodine, James Carter, George Hendrickson, Wil- liam Reilley and D. S. Munn.

The Post Commanders to date have been as follows : E. Y. Morris, for 1868 and 1869; D S. Munn, 1870; John Kuester, 1871 and 1872: William Rcil- ley, 1873 and 1874; James Cadis, 1875 and 1876; Henry Osterheld, 1877, 1878 and 1879; John C. Schotts, 1880; F. A. Curran, 1881; James V. Law- rence, 1882; S. C. Van Tassel, 1883 ; G. B. Balch, 1884; James Sheridan, 1885.

The officers for 1886 are: Commander, James Sheri- dan; S. V. C., A. Kipp; J. V. C., James Taylor; Surgeon, George Lockwood; Chaplain, Wmn. H. Yerkes ; Officer of the Day, John Riec; Officer of the Guard, Oscar T. Barker; Adjutant, C. D. Betts; Q. M., Henry Ferguson ; Q. M. S., Joseph Irving.

The following is a complete list of all members of the post, from its organization to the year 1885, with the military history of each man in brief. The term of service, where not otherwise stated, is "three years, or during the war." Names marked with a star (*) are those of members who have died since the formation of the post. Names marked with a dag- ger (+) are those of wounded men or pensioners. The descriptive book of Kitching Post is not as full on the subject of wounded men as it should be, and there are many men in the post who have suffered wounds, not recorded in the list furnished by the ad- jutant. Where no rank is given "private " is meant.
