Eagle Post, No. 52, Department of Wisconsin, G. A. R.
(-as transcribed from pages 193 - 197)
Eagle Post takes its name from "Old Abe," the war eagle, which was carried through the war by Company C of the Eighth Wisconsin Infantry, Victor Wolf, captain, after the death of Capt. J. E. Perkins, its first commander. Eagle Post was organized on the eighth day of November, A. D. 1882, with thirteen charter members. E. M. Bartlett, who served as lieutenant Colonel of the Thirteenth Wisconsin, was elected its first commander, with Bentley S. Phillips its first adjutant. Since organization there has been added to the post by muster and transfer 427 members. Lost by death, transfer and other causes, 337, still leaving a membership of 104.
Eagle Post has always held a position in the front rank of the state department, has had the honor of giving two department commanders, Michael Griffin and Charles H. Henry, two adjutant generals in the persons of George A. Barry and R. B. Rathbun, and senior and junior vice commander in the person of L. A. Brace. Eagle Post has been highly favored and owes much to the Women's Relief Corps, No. 20, for its successful growth and present prosperous condition, which is evidenced by the regular attendance of so many comrades, several of whom are past the eightieth milestone.
The following named comrades served as commanders for the years indicated in the roster:
