Collection Organization

The records of the Ford Circle no. 28 of the Ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic primarily documents membership information, with some additional support data of background history and the organization charter.

The membership lists and especially the membership applications provide information on both the women members, with their names, addresses and relationship, but also the Civil War veteran who was a relative, giving enlistment information of muster dates and regiment. The span of application dates, running from the chartering of the Circle into the late 1980s, demonstrates the involvement and dedication of activity in the organization.
