CHAPTER IN DEUEL COUNTY'S WAR RECORD -- GRAND ARMY OR THE REPUBLIC

Many of the early settlers of Deuel county were men who had served in the army during the Civil War. After coming to the new country of western Nebraska, those who lived near enough to Chappell and the men in the town formed a post of the Grand Army of the Republic, known as Crocker Post, No. 218, Department of Nebraska. Though many of the members have died with the passing years, Crocker Post still is active and for the year, 1921, acting installation officer, J. H. Brown, years ago sheriff of Mercer county, Illinois, inducted the following officers into service: Commander, J. C. Johnson; Senior Vice, Jake Roudebush ; Junior Vice, August Guenin; Adjutant, A. J. Withers; Quartermaster, J. H. Brown; Surgeon, J. W. Conyers; Chaplain, R. V. Beach; Officer of the Day, W. Saunders ; Officer of the Guard, J. W. Statler; and Patriotic Instructor, J. H. Brown. These men who so gallantly served in the Civil War are not forgotton in the crowding events and the stupendous conflict of the late World War.
