Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) Posts in Missouri by Post # (1888)

The Grand Army of the Republic, a patriotic organization, was established in 1866. Membership was open to all veterans who fought for the Union. The objective of the G.A.R. was to provide fraternity, commemoration, and assistance to its members. It promoted the establishment of soldier’s homes, as well as care and education of war orphans. It is also responsible for the establishment of Memorial Day. By 1888, there were 382 posts in Missouri and by 1893, over 500 located in nearly every part of the state.

Each year all G.A.R. posts were to submit the names of members who died in the previous year, although not all posts were consistent in doing so. Also, the 1884 and 1903 proceedings did not list death roles, so the years 1883 and 1902 are not complete. Therefore this list can be considered as only some of the veterans who died during this period of time.
