GAR Julius P. Garesche Post 193 Charter Members, 1884
Many men in St. Louis served in the Civil War. While some served in the Confederacy, most were part of the Union Army. After the war, Union veterans formed a fraternal organization called the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR). By 1890, the GAR had about 400,000 members and the veterans can be traced in the GAR annual reports and death rolls. St. Louis had about 14 GAR posts, with approximately four hundred posts elsewhere in Missouri.
Original Civil War pension records are available at the National Archives in Washington, D.C. You can order the pension files online at the National Archives Military website.
This roster of the Julius P. Garesche Post 193 is of the ones that signed the charter for the Post in 1884. This Post surrendered their charter and closed in 1892.
