BISHOP POST, NO. 22, G. A. R.
The organization, called the Grand Army of the Re- public, was instituted in the city of Indianapolis, Ind., November 20, 1866, to supplement solidify, and perpetuate the results of the great war of the rebell- ion. For fourteen years this order has been work- ing diligently and increasing in number and power and is now composed of one National Encampment, thirty Department Encampments and over one thou- sand subordinate Posts throughout the United States, embracing nearly every State and Territory in the Un- ion, and having an enrollment of over one hundred thousand good and true men, some of whom occupy po- sitions of the highest trust and emolument in the coun- cils of the nation and States. In this organic element by their existing laws, no political question can be pre- sented or discussed, no man's political views or ten. dencies are ever questioned, and all that is ever re- quired of him is that he should have served the coun- try faithfully when she called for his service and re- ceived an honorable discharge, and that he now affirms his loyalty to the flag, the constitution and the laws of the United States, and now has the respect of his fellow-men. In the same manner and with equal vig- or are all questions of religious nature eschewed, only reserving the belief in and reverence for the great God who made all the worlds and all things therein and the priceless golden rule. The workings of this order are truly and purely social, humanitarian and military, the objects being set forth in the rules and regulations of the order and are as follows:
1st. To preserve and strengthen those kind and fra- ternal feelings which bind together the soldiers, sailors and mariners who united to suppress the late rebellion and to perpetuate the memory and history of the dead. 2d. To assist such former comrades in arms as need help and protection and to extend the needful aid to the widows aud orphans of those who have fallen.
3d. To maintain true allegiance to the United States of America based upon the paramount respect for and fidelity to the National Constitution and laws and to discountenance whatever tends to weaken loy- alty or to incite insurrection, treason or rebellion, or in any manner impair the efficiency and permanency of our free institutions, and to encourage the spread of our universal liberty and equal rights and justice to all men.
The soldiers, sailors and marines of Defiance
County who survived the long years of war realiz- ing the importance and propriety of such an or- ganization that would bring them together in social re-union and cultivate a more fraternal feeling, and through which the hallowed memory of those who had fallen by their side might be kept for- ever green, and that it would enable them to assist each other in time of need, and aid the help- less widows and orphans of their late comrades, pro- ceeded to organize a Post at Defiance, and some time in the month of January, 1879, wrote to the depart- ment headquarters, then at Toledo, Ohio, and obtained the necessary blanks for the purpose of forming a Post, and after obtaining the required names of com- rades in good standing, and having forwarded the same to the Assistant Adjutant General of the Depart- ment of Ohio Grand Army of the Republic, the de- partment commander granted a charter on the 8th day of July, and detailed Comrade Cecil A. Hall, of Forsythe Post No. 15, of Toledo, Ohio, and ordered him to proceed to Defiance and muster the ap- plicants whose names were signed to the petition for admission to the ranks of the Grand Army of the Re- public, and on the 14th day of July, 1879, Comrade Cecil A. Hall, special mustering officer, accompanied by Henry S. Bunker, Assistant Adjutant General of the Department of the Ohio Grand Army of the Re- public, came to Defiance, and the following comrades were mustered into the Grand Army of the Republic, to wit: William E. Carpenter, L. W. Richardson, Albert W. King, George Hooker, Frank C. Culley, George W. Killey, W. S. Hoffard, Solomon Deamer, A. B. Woodruff, William H. Ralston, John E. Rich- ardson, Franklin Duck, George Olinger, B. B. Wood- cox, Luther H. Robinson, Heury Kuhl, B. F. South- worth, Robert Cary, Frederick Conrad, George T. Squires, William Andrews, W. S. McClary, all of whom thereby became the charter members of Bishop Post, No. 22, of Defiance Department of Ohio Grand Army of the Republic. Immediately after being mustered into the order, they proceeded to the elec. tion of officers, and the following were the officers duly elected, appointed and installed in their respect- ive offices for the remainder of the year of 1873:
Commander of Post, William E. Carpenter; Senior Vice Commander, B. F. Southworth; Jun- ior Vice Commander, George T. Squires; Surgeon, William Rals'on, M. D .; Chaplain, Luther H.
