GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC.
To greater or less extent, ex-Soldiers of dif- ferent countries have formed organizations for the preservation of old, and the cultiva- tion of new associa- tions, having for their chief bond the common toils and sufferings of military service. But no organization of this sort, in any country ever attained, in num- bers, zeal or practical benefits, to the bene- VETER ficent results of the " Grand Army of the Republie," consisting of Soldiers of the Union, serving in the War of the Rebellion. The organization had its origin in Springfield, Illinois, its first mover having been Dr. B. F. Stephenson, of that City, who also drafted its ritual. The order spread rapidly. The first State Department (that of Illinois) was instituted July 12, 1866, and followed by Wisconsin and Iowa in September, same year; Indiana, in November; Kansas, in December ; Ohio and Pennsylvania, in January; New York in April ; Massachu- setts and Missouri, in May; Minnesota, in August, 1867; and so on, until 1885, when there were Encampments in 38 States and Ter- ritories. There are 12 Past Commanders-in- Chief, of whom the last is John S. Kountz, of Toledo, whose service covered a period of 11 months, closing with the Nineteenth Annual Session of the National Encampment, at Port- land, Maine, in June, 1885. The member- ship of the organization at the beginning of his term embraced 38 Departments, 5,026 Posts and 269,684 members. Under his ad-
ministration there was a nei gain of 992 Posts, and of 41,394 members. He personally visited 34 Departments during his service, being much the largest visitation ever made, involving travel from Maine to Washington Territory, and from Minnesota to Georgia, the loial of distance traversed being more than 30,000 miles.
The specifie objects of the Grand Army of the Republic, are these :
Ist. 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. 2d. To assist such former comrades in arms as need help and protection, and to extend needful aid to the widows and orphans of those who have fallen. 3d. To maintain true allegiance to the United States of America, based upon a paramount respect for, and fidelity to, the National constitution and laws; to discountenance whatever tends to weaken loyalty, incites to insurrection, treason or rebellion, or in any manner impairs the efficiency and permanency of our free institutions ; and to en- courage the spread of universal liberty. equal rights, and justice to all men.
FORSYTH POST No. 15, TOLEDO.
The first local organization of the Grand Army established in this section of Ohio, was Forsyth Post, which was instituted November 19, 1866. For this purpose a number of resi- dent ex-Soldiers met at the office of Colonel John A. Chase, at which Captain Henry E. Howe, yet a resident of Toledo, presented the nature and advantages of such an organization,*
* The following record indicates something of Captain Howe's prominence in the start of this in- portant organization :
HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF ILLINOIS, GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC, ADJUTANT GENERAL'S OFFICE. SPRINGFIELD, ILL., May 9, 1866. Special Orders. No. 2.
Captain Henry E. Howe is hereby authorized to organize Encampments of Districts and Posts of the

HISTORY OF TOLEDO AND LUCAS COUNTY.
and the Post was instituted. It took its dis- tinetive name from George Duncan Forsyth, a son of Mrs. Charlotte T. Forsyth, still a resi- dent of Toledo, and a brother of General James A. Forsyth of the United States Army. Lieu- tenant Forsyth first eulisted as a private in the 14th O. V. I. April 19, 1861, three days after the first call for troops was issued. At the close of three months service he returned to Napoleon, Ohio, where he engaged in business ; but when the call for three years' troops came he again responded. He enlisted at Napoleon in the 100th O. V. I. He was commissioned Second Lieutenant in Company B of that Regiment July 11, 1862, and promoted to First Lieuten- ant January 8, 1863. He was captured at Limestone Station, Tennessee, September 8, 1863. and taken to Libby Prison, where he re- mained until his death at the hands of one of the prison guards, April 13, 1864. Whether or not the shooting was accidental, will probably never be definitely known, although the preponderance of proof favors the belief that he was not intentionally killed. Lieuten- ant Forsyth was violating no order of the prison at the time of his death. His remains were brought home and now lie buried in the family lot in Forest Cemetery, Toledo. He was a graduate of the Toledo High School.
The following thirteen constitute the charter members of Forsyth Post : Henry G. Neubert, J. S. Kountz, Wm. E. Parmelee jr., J. A. Chase, J. W. White, Frank Collins,; J. K. Hamilton, C. A. Hall, Otto Klemm, H. Rosenbaum, C. C. Starr, R. D. Whittlesey, Wm. Corlett, Albert E. Scott.
The first officers of Forsyth Post were as follows : Commander, J. A. Chase ; Assistant,
Grand Army of the Republic in the Tenth Congres- sional District of Ohio.
