GRAND ARmV OF THE REPUBbIC 
 
 HISTORICAL REVIEW OF THE ORDER. 
 
 The credit of having oripinally siiKgej^ted tlie 
 organization of the Grand Army of the llepublif 
 is fairly divided between two men, B. F. Ste- 
 phenson, M. D., Major of the Fourteenth 
 Illinois Infantry, and the Kev. William J. Rut- 
 ledge, chaplain of the pame regiment. The 
 regiment formed part of Sherman's expedition 
 to Meridian, Miss., in February, 1S(;4, and it was 
 in this campaign that Chaplain Kutledge sug- 
 gested to Major Stephenson the advisability of 
 forming some sort of association that would 
 preserve the friendships and memories of the 
 common trials and dangers of the war. After 
 the close of the army service this subject formed 
 the basis of their corresi)ondence, until March, 
 18t)'J, when Chaplain Kutledge met Dr. Stephen- 
 son, by appointment, in Springfield, Illinois, and 
 spent some time with him in arranging a ritual 
 for the proposed organization. 
 
 The following are known to have participated 
 in the conferences in Springfield that finally 
 resulted in the organization of the Grand Army 
 of the Republic: Col. John M. Snyder, Dr. 
 Jarnes Hamilton, Maj. Robert M. Woods, Maj. 
 Robert Allen, Chaplain William J. Rutledge, 
 
 B. F. ^1 I I i. I . M)\, M. I>. 
 Major and Surgcn 1- oiii tcciith Illinois Volun- 
 teers, one of the founders and organizers 
 of the Grand Army and Comman- 
 der-in-Chief, mw,. 
 
 REV. WILLIAM J. KUTLKDGE 
 
 Captain Fourteenth Illinois Volunteers, one 
 of the founders of the Grand Army. 
 
 Col. Martin Flood. Col. Daniel Grass. Col. Ed- 
 ward Prince, Capt. John S. Phelps, Capt. John 
 A. Lightfoot, Capt. (Since Colonel) B. F. Smith, 
 Brevet Maj. A. A. Worth, Capt. Henry E. Howe 
 and Col. 15. F. Hawkes. Meetings were held 
 in the oftices of Drs. Allen, Hamilton and 
 Stephenson and afterward in the office of 
 Col. John M. Snyder, Secretary to Governor 
 Richard Oglesby. 
 
 No name had been decided upon at this time, 
 and it is probable that the name of an order 
 started in Missouri in l.Sfti, the "Advance Guard 
 of America," or the "Grand Army of Progress," 
 contained the suggestion of the title. The 
 ritual of the ".Soldiers and Sailor's League" 
 was also used in the organization at the sug- 
 gestion and with the aid of Capt. John S. Phelps, 
 Thirty-second Illinois Infantry, who had been 
 promoted for meritorious contluct at Fort 
 Donelson and Pittsburg Landing. The first 
 post of the Grand Army of the Republic was 
 established by Dr. Stephenson at Decatur, 111., 
 on the (ith day of Ai>ril, ismi. The charter read 
 as follows: 
 
 Grand Akmv <>k tiik Rki'ihi.ic, 
 dkr.\kt.mknt ok illinois. 
 To all whom it may concern, greeting : 
 Know ye. that the Commander of the De- 
 
partiuent of Illinois, reposing special trust and 
 eonfldenee in the i^atriotism and fidelity of M. 
 F. Kanan, G. R. Steele, George H. Dunning, I. 
 C. Pugh, J. H. Nale, J. T. Bishop, C. Reibsame, 
 J. W. Routh, B. F. Sibley, I. N. Coltrin, Joseph 
 Prior and A. Tolaud, does by the authority in 
 him vested, empower and constitute them 
 charter members of an encampment of the 
 Grand Army of the Republic, to be known as 
 Post 1 of Decatur, District of Macon, Depart- 
 ment of Illinois, and they are hereby constituted 
 as said post, and to do and perform all acts 
 necessary to conduct and carry on said organiza- 
 tion in accordance with the constitution of the 
 Orand Army of the Republic. 
 
 Done at Springfield, 111., this 6th day of 
 April, 1866. 
 
 B. F. STEI'IIEN.SON, 
 
 Commander of Department. 
 ROBEKT M. Woods, Adjutant General. 
 
 The minutes of the first meeting contain the 
 following: 
 
 "At an informal meeting held April 6, LS66, for 
 the purpose of organizing an Encampment of 
 the Grand Army of the Republic, the following- 
 named persons were mustered by Major Ste- 
 phenson, and constituted charter members: I. 
 C. Pugh, George R. Steele, J. W. Routh, Jos. 
 Prior, J. H. Nale, J. T. Bishop, G. H. Dunning, 
 B. F. Sibly, M. F. Kanan, C. Reibsame, I. N.

 At the meeting on April 10, N. G. Burns, 
 Henry Gorman, N. E. Winholtz, W. H. An- 
 drews and W. H. B. Rowe, were mustered in 
 due form, and thus became the the first recruits 
 after the organization of the post. 
 
 Orders were issued by Dr. Stephenson dated 
 in April, 1866, appointing staff officers. A call 
 dated June 26, 1866, summoned the "Grand 
 Army of the Republic" and Illinois soldiers and 
 sailors to a convention in the hall of the House 
 of Representatives at Springfield on July 12, 
 To this call some well known names were signed. 
 Among them were those of John L. Beveridge 
 Colonel of the Seventeenth Illinois Cavalry and 
 afterward Governor of the State of Illinois; 
 I ien. William Birney, Colonel of a colored regi- 
 ment, and son of the famous James G. Birney, 
 \\ ho with Thomas Earle of Philadelphia formed 
 111 ISlO the first Presidential ticket of the Liberty 
 iia.rty, and Gen. John M. Palmer, ex-Governor 
 ■ r Illinois and now Senator of the United States. 
 I'he last named was elected First Department 
 I Ommander of Illinois. 
 
 The election of a Department Commander by 
 the Springfield Convention relieved Major Ste- 
 phenson of any further responsibility for the 
 work of organization in Illinois, and he turned 
 his attention to other States, acting as Com- 
 mander-in-Chief, without other authority than 
 that first assumed, as the organizer of the 
 Grand Army of the Republic. In October, 1866. 
 Departments had been formed in Illinois, Wis- 
 
consiii, Iinliana, Iowa and Minnesota, and posts 
 inOliio, Missouri, Kentucky, Arkansas, District 
 •of Columbia, Massacliusetts, New York and 
 Pennsylvania.
