Charles R. Gill GAR Post 236 Loyal, Wisconsin Established August 5, 1887 Disbanded 1911 Charter Members: J. H. Welch was the first commander. Veterans of Loyal in Clark County formed a G.A.R. Post in 1887 and named it for the commander of the Twenty-ninth Wisconsin, Charles R. Gill. Gill Post 236 was active for several decades, but relinquished its charter in 1911 while there were still nearly a dozen men on the roster. Presumably many of them affiliated with other posts.
The man for whom the post was named, colonel Charles R. Gill, headed the Twenty-ninth of the western armies. Gill was involved in the siege of Vicksburg but resigned his commission because of poor health. He returned to Wisconsin and was elected state attorney general in 1865.
