Grand Army of the Republic. Department of Ohio. Wiley Post #46 (Bowling Green, Ohio) records

The records of Wiley Post no. 46, G.A.R., consist primarily of minute books covering the years 1889 to 1931, a roll book covering the period 1897 to 1928, a small "relic" book, and some loose papers.

The minutes of the Post offer a record of organizational and financial business transacted at meetings, including lists of officers and committee appointments, with an occasional reference to patriotic observances, such as Memorial Day, Decoration Day, and Flag Day. Minutebook entries in later years are dominated with reports of deaths and funerals of members.

The roll book and muster rolls provide information on the individual members of the Post, including name, regiment, and date of death. The roll book also contains a revision of the Post by-laws, adopted in Feb. 1897.

The loose papers include Civil War pass requests, parole papers, and discharge papers; GAR application forms, orders, receipts, and a poems.
