DEXTER POST #336

Wellsville,NY

 (Note: Pictures at bottom of this page)

(Transcribed by Ron Taylor from: "Allegany County & It's People: A Centennial Memorial History of Allegany County, New York". --Histories of the Towns of the County; Mrs. Georgia Drew Merrill, Editor; Published by W.A.Fergusson & Co., Alfred,NY - 1896)

Grand Army of the Republic---The local Grand Army post was organized at a meeting attended by 45 old soldiers at the Moore House (now Commercial) Jan. 26, 1883.  Of the informal organization Col. Stephen B. Moore was elected president, Capt. W. R. Bliss secretary and James Thornton treasurer.  Feb. 9, 1883, the Post was formally mustered in and Capt. W. R. Bliss elected commander; Capt. H. U. Schlick, senior vice com.; Geor. W. Greene, junior vice com.; I. L. Kress, adjutant; Miles F. Jones, quartermaster; Dr. A. W. Greene, surgeon; L. C. Hakes, chaplain.  The record book says: “On motion the name of the post was called “Dexter Post,” in honor of the Dexters, formerly of this place, now dead.”  The successive past commanders have been Capt. W. R. Bliss, E. Geer, Capt. G. H. Blackman, James Jump, Russell Tremaine and A. M. Boyd.  The present officers are: Commander, James Thornton; Senior Vice Commander, M. D. Palmer; Junior Vice Commander, Russell Tremaine; Officer of the Day, William Miller; Quartermaster, G. Eugene Farnum; Chaplain, I. L. Kress; Surgeon, Dr. King; Officer of the Guard, Ezekiel Johnson; Inside Guard, Charles Gardner; Outside Guard, J. C. Jump; Delegate to State Department, Russell Tremaine; alternate, I. H. Kress.  Auxiliary to the Post there is an efficient Woman’s Relief Corps.

            The enrollment of membership affords a fairly complete list of the veterans of the Rebellion who have lived in Wellsville since 1883.  A star opposite a man’s name indicates that he is dead.  The list is taken from the post record book which, unfortunately, is, in many ways, incomplete.
