1887+ Account Book of the Charles D. Jameson GAR Post 110 at Bradford, Maine - Members' Names, some with Death Information Added

Small account book from Charles D. Jameson Post 110 of the Grand Army of the Republic, or GAR, at Bradford, Maine.  An alphabetical list of the members appears at the end of this post.

The post was named in honor of Brigadier General Charles Davis Jameson, who died of typhoid fever after the Battle of Fair Oaks in Virginia.  See his photograph here.  Sadly, his Old Town home was demolished in late 2019.

The Post had 33 members when it was listed in a booklet about the 40th Annual Encampment of 1907.

The account book has a list of members in the front, and those names are repeated again on their own pages, detailing dues, suspensions, transfers and, if applicable, death information.
