Iowa Civil War Soldiers Who Were Members of the Grand Army of the
Republic, Department of Oregon
David C. Bailey, Sr.
Past Department Commander, IL Department, Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War
Naperville, IL
This is the third in a series of articles which use records of the Grand Army of the Republic (aka the
GAR) to track the post-war movements of Iowa’s Civil War veterans. The first dealt with those Iowa
Civil War soldiers who were members of the GAR in Colorado and Wyoming; the second dealt with
those veterans who were members of the Department of California.1 The GAR was the largest veterans’
organization to appear after the conflict. During its active years, the GAR had a significant influence on
politics, law, and social programs in the United States. Memorial Day was established as a national
holiday, five GAR members were elected President of the United States, many of the Governors in the
northern states were members, soldiers' homes were founded, veterans’ relief programs were
established and ever more valuable pensions were given to the Union veterans.
National
Encampments were yearly meetings that attracted over 25,000 veterans in the 1890’s. By 1890 when
the GAR was reaching its peak, membership reached almost 500,000.2
The GAR in Oregon was organized on 28 Sep 1882. At one time or another there were 77 Posts within
the Department. Virtually any town of appreciable size had a functioning Post. Larger cities, such as
Portland (with at least seven) had multiple Posts.3,4
GAR records can be very useful in tracking the post-war movements of Union Civil War veterans.
Unfortunately many original records from local Posts have been lost and only a few Post and
Departmental records were published. Those that were tend to be difficult to locate. This article is
based on a relatively scarce roster of the then existing 61 Posts in the Department of Oregon published
in 1919.5
The following information of interest to genealogists is provided for each soldier (if available):
•
Birth – Date (from burial or Soldiers’ Home records) and location
•
Residence – Residence at time of enlistment or location credited to
•
Service – Brief synopsis of service; service in multiple units is included. Other service highlights
such as instances of wounding or being captured are also noted.
•
Widow – Name of surviving spouse from pension application
•
Death – Date and location
•
Burial – Cemetery and either city or county
•
Miscellaneous – Membership in the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States
(MOLLUS, a veteran’s organization for officers) and admissions to National Soldier’s Homes
It is also important to note what this list is not. It is not a complete list of Iowa Civil War veterans who
resided at one time or another in the area covered by the Department of Oregon. While the GAR was
the largest Civil War veterans’ organization, not all veterans belonged to it. Whether due to political
reasons, absence of a conveniently located local Post or other reasons, some veterans chose to
eschew membership. This is also not a complete list of Iowa veterans who were members of the GAR

in the Department of Oregon over the entire period of the organization’s existence. This list is based on
a roster that is essentially a snapshot of the membership at a distinct point in time. Other veterans may
have been members, but moved or relocated prior to the dates of the underlying rosters. Others may
have migrated to Oregon and joined the local GAR at other times.

“When the Iowa Agricultural College was formally opened in 1869, but two courses of instruction were
offered; one in agriculture and the other in the mechanic arts, or engineering. Women were permitted to
enter either of these courses and take any of the subjects they chose, including a limited number of cultural
subjects for which the founders of the College had duly provided. The agricultural faculty consisted of Dr.
Norton S. Townsend, who was Professor of Agriculture and Horticulture, and President Welch, who lectured
on landscape gardening. It does not appear whether President Welch lectured on farm animals during the
first year, but it is recorded that he did so during some of the later years.
In the following year, the agricultural facility consisted of James Mathews, Professor of Pomology [ed. Study
and cultivation of fruit], and Charles E. Bessey, Instructor in Botany and Horticulture (vegetable gardening);
while the duties of the vacant professorship in agriculture were delegated to Professor Mathews, President
Welch and Dr. I. P. Roberts, who came to Ames as farm superintendent in August, 1869. The next year Dr.
Roberts was made Professor of Practical Agriculture. At the close of 1873 he resigned to accept a similar
position at Cornell University, later becoming Dean of Agriculture and Director of the Experiment Station at
that Institution.”

Using Excel to Prepare for a Research Trip
By Sue Claman
If you are going to travel for hours to a major research facility, you need to spend time before you
leave getting organized so as to maximize your search time at the facility. Many large facilities
have all or part of their card catalog online, both book and microform. Checking the card catalog
before you leave home also allows you to cross-check against resources you have already used,
those available in your local research facility or available online.
As an example, let’s plan a trip to Mid-Continent Library in Independence, MO. The home page of
their web site is located at www.mymcpl.org. At the top of the page is a link to the catalog. Narrow
your search from Everything to Genealogy Material. I usually search for a county. A search for
“Putnam County, Missouri” (without the quotes) yields 45 results. You can also limit the results to
a particular branch, in this case the Midwest Genealogy Center. In your spreadsheet you need to
have column headers to help with sorting and filtering. I use “Dewey Code”, “Title”, “Author”,
“State”, “County”, “Surname” and “Notes”. I use one sheet for books and a separate sheet for
microform. If you have access to PERSI, you can also have a sheet for magazine articles.
So far my book sheet has over 60 entries for multiple localities and surnames and looks something
like this:

Once you have your list finalized, you have choices. If you don’t want to take your laptop/tablet
with you simply sort your list by Dewey code and print it out. You will probably want to set the
page orientation to landscape. If highlighters are allowed at the research facility, pick out two
colors to bring. When I bring my little netbook, I open my list and after checking a book, I fill the
row with yellow if I make copies and red if I don’t. If the facility doesn’t allow pens, decide on a
system to mark the books you check, for example, a check mark for copies and an ‘X’ for no
copies. In the notes column indicate the page numbers copied and if the copiers allow scanning,
the file name. If your list is long, you may want to turn on the auto filter so you can easily narrow
the view to a single geographic area or surname. Remember in Excel the auto filter is the funnel
icon found on the data ribbon. If you are using Googledocs spreadsheet, the filter icon can be
found near the right hand side of the icon bar or Data >Filter via the menu bar. When traveling I
bring along sticky notes and paper clips. On the sticky I write down the page numbers. I clip
together the copies for each book separately. I also copy the title page.
Other things I like to find out before leaving: the cost of copies, if copy cards are used, whether the
copier/microform printer can print to an image, what types of electronic devices are allowed if any,
availability/cost of parking, nearby restaurants, availability of lockers. If this information isn’t
21

available on the web site, call or email the librarian and ask. If patrons aren’t allowed to make their
own copies or copy cards are used, you don’t need to bring pounds of change with you. If you can
print to an image, you need to be prepared with a flash drive. When I bring my netbook/laptop, I
also take a cable lock to attach it to my table. I also leave my regular purse at home and use a
fanny pack or the type of purse designed to be worn over the shoulder.
With a little preparation, you can have an extremely production research trip. Also by preparing
your lookup list ahead of time, if you don’t have much luck with your initial plan of attack, you can
easily switch gears to another family or locality.
“History of the Legislature in Iowa
Representation in the General Assembly has always been based on population; but prior to 1868 only white
inhabitants were counted. The Constitution of 1846 provided for a census every two years during a period of
eight years, on the returns of which the General Assembly apportioned its members – the Representatives at
every regular session of the Assembly and the Senators at every other regular session. The number of
members of the Assembly was fixed by statute; but there could never be less than twenty-six or more than
thirty-nine Representatives until the population of the State exceeded 175,000, and after that event never less
than thirty-nine or more than seventy-two. At the same time the number of Senators was not to be lss than
one-third nor more than one-half the number of Representatives.
The State was districted by the Constitution of 1846 so that there were, in the First General Assembly, thirtynine Representatives and nineteen Senators elected from fifteen Assembly districts. This constitutional
apportionment was based upon the Territorial census of 1846.
The first State census was taken in 1847; and thus it was the Second General Assembly that passed the first
apportionment act under the Constitution of 1846, more than two years after Iowa had become a State.
Inasmuch as the population had not then reached the 175,000 mark, the number of members could not be
increased. At the same time the new apportionment act effected a number of changes among and within the
fifteen districts.
Between the enumerations of 1847 and 1850 the population of Iowa increased over 75,000, and in the
following year the remaining portion of the State was organized into counties. Instead of observing strictly
the provisions of the Constitution it appears that the Third General Assembly (1850-1851) not only reapportioned the Representatives but also the Senators, thereby causing trouble in the election of 1852. The
nineteen districts that were created covered the whole area of the State for the first time. Although there
were enough inhabitants to legally justify increasing the size of the Assembly, the membership was kept
below the maximum allowed by the Constitution – only sixty-three Representatives and thirty Senators being
provided for the Fourth General Assembly.
The Fourth General Assembly, following the provisions of the Constitution and for the first time
apportioning only the Representatives, divided the State into forty-two districts, among which were
apportioned seventy members of the lower house. The number of Senators and the senatorial districts
remained as established by the legislation of the Third General Assembly. This was the first time during the
State period that the districts were numbered. In some cases the new districts overlapped: Jackson and Jones
counties constituted the sixth and seventh districts, respectively, and both together constituted the eighth
district.”

Family Trees, A History of Genealogy in America
by Francois Weil
Harvard University Press, Cambridge Massachusetts, 2013, 304 pages
Genealogy has become a very popular pastime. This is not news to anyone with our Society. It is
certainly evident in our history. We started with just a room in 1965. Now we have a library which
covers 7800 square feet. Another popular term for our passion is “family history.” But history has
mostly ignored genealogy. Our hobby deals very much with history, but just try to find a book about the
history of genealogy. It is here now.
A Frenchman who is the Chancellor of the University of Paris is the author of this American history.
He says that genealogy is arguably the element of contemporary American culture about which we
know the least.
The first of the six chapters is “Lineage and Family in Colonial America.” In Europe, genealogy was
originally the prerogative of kings and princes. Royal genealogies survive from the 6th century. The
Old Testament is full of “begats.” This reviewer has an 1875 concordance which collects all of them
together in 25 pages. Not until the 18th century in America was there a genealogical consciousness in
the form of pedigrees or family trees.
The colonial elites and southern planters were concerned with social status tied to their English
roots. Heraldry, coats of arms, portraits, gravestones, and even silverware memorialized their lineage
consciousness. Ben Franklin looked for his roots when he went to England in 1758. In contrast to the
pursuit of gentility, kin-related consciousness was present in the early African slaves, who knew their
genealogies passed down orally.
In their suits for freedom, knowledge of their descent from a free white person succeeded in their
freedom from bondage. White colonists inscribed family records in Bibles, account books, diaries, and
almanacs so posterity would know their ancestors. The frequency of widowhood and remarriage made
these records all the more useful to keep lineages straight. Because families were central to many
colonists, they understood that ignorance of ancestors would weaken their commitment to their kin.
Some of these early colonists wrote accounts of their families so their children and grandchildren would
know their history. These accounts remained private until 1771 when a Stebbins genealogy was
published.
Chapter 2, “The Rise of American Genealogy,” documents the post revolutionary future looking
ahead to America now separate from Britain. This process democratized genealogy because it
became middle-class and family-related. Individual merit was now more important than birth.
Commercial publishers began in the 1790s to add blank family record forms in their Bibles. One group
of Americans who were innate genealogists were women. Their role as stewards of family memory
grew in these decades. Girls in New England schools embroidered family trees or samplers. They
used symbols, the most popular of which was a tree, therefore, the family tree. The westward migration
extended kin ties due to the separation from those who stayed. But frontier conditions were not
conducive to archival preservation. Abraham Lincoln knew a vague tradition that his great-grandfather
went from Pennsylvania to Virginia, and was a Quaker, but asked a relative to trace any connection
between the two. The Revolutionary War Pension Act of 1818 required thousands of widows to
produce evidence of their claims, and stimulated a new genealogical awareness. Family Bibles and
family registers were their source. In 1829 John Farmer published the first genealogical book that
extended beyond a single family, The Genealogical Register of the First Settlers of New England.
Some people were pleased to discover that their own family history was of interest to others. Farmer
demanded that evidence, that is, primary sources, be consulted to substantiate family lore. Tradition
was not enough. This created difficulty, of course, due to lack of public records, or their poor
organization. Local genealogists and antiquarians did find musty manuscripts this long ago. A few

women who were also fond of “mouldy things” joined this network. They felt great satisfaction after
having ransacked libraries and cemeteries, having discovered their passion for family roots, and
initiating genealogical projects that would engage fellow Americans thereafter.
Chapter 3, “Antebellum Blood and Vanity,” refers to the time before the Civil War. Many Americans
were still interested in aristocracy, lineage, and hereditary status, the connection to their European
ancestors. Especially concentrated in Philadelphia and Charleston, these rivals in exclusive society
thought the United States in the 1830s had nothing to be proud of. They lived in a country suffering
from slavery, southernism, Yankeeism, and western barbarism. Southern genealogy was isolated and
private. But in 1857, William Meade published a book celebrating Virginia’s family trees, beginning with
Pocahontas and John Rolfe.
Chapter 4, “Upon the Love of Country and Pride of Race” is concerned with how the Civil War
altered the American genealogical scene. The great conflict tore apart many white families, made it
possible for African American families to reunite, and ushered in large scale urbanization,
industrialization, and immigration between 1870 and 1920. We became more race conscious and
nationalist. Heredity became important and societies were formed which linked race, patriotism, and
heredity. The Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) began in 1889 and the Daughters of the
American Revolution (DAR) began in 1890. Women who had done genealogy inside the family circle
now became visible in the public sphere. Nationalities outside the Anglo-Saxon realm formed
organizations such as Huguenots in South Carolina and Dutch in New York. After the Indian wars were
over, the Dawes Act of 1887 allotted land to Indians who had to prove tribal membership and ancestry.
Chapter 5, “Pedigrees and the Market” shows how genealogy became an industry, a marketplace
for ancestry. People who wanted to know who their ancestors were, paid others to fill their demands.
By 1900 there were dozens of genealogists for hire. The New England Historic Genealogical Society
increased its library to over 20,000 volumes by 1885, and admitted members by their interest in
genealogy, not their birth, wealth, or family connections. Genealogical societies were formed in New
York in 1869 and other states followed. The first how-to book, Ancestral Tablets, was published in
1868. Fraud now proliferated and pedigrees were falsified in this unregulated market. Attempts were
made to professionalize genealogy and make it a science. After all, that’s what “ology” is. Historians
had college degrees but genealogists had no diplomas or education. These 19th century attempts were
unsuccessful. Along came Donald Lines Jacobus. A precocious genealogist at age 17, he created a
new periodical in 1922, which became The American Genealogist in 1932. He became the first to be in
a position to systematize the use of documentation in articles for his periodicals. Family associations
experienced much growth after the 1876 centennial. They emphasized family traditions and kin values.
The Mormons were instructed in 1894 by its president to trace their genealogies as far as they can.
They adopted rituals such as ordinances and sealings. Genealogy occupied an important place within
the church. Mormon women were central in this process. Susa(sic) Young Gates became a leader
and developed a program of genealogical education, the first in the United States.
Chapter 6, “Everybody’s Search For Roots” tells us how genealogy is for everyone.
Alex Haley’s best selling book, Roots, and the television miniseries which followed, sparked a new
interest in genealogy. Now family history was democratic, replacing the first half of the 20th century
quest for ancient lineage and racial and social superiority. The author of this book names 24 states
who started state genealogical societies, including Iowa in 1965. Many periodicals were launched.
Public librarians became more welcoming to genealogists, who were mostly amateurs. The head
librarian at the Fort Wayne Public Library became especially aggressive at increasing the library’s focus
on genealogy, making its collection national in scope. The American Society of Genealogists in 1964
established a Board of Certification so successful applicants could be certified genealogists (CGs) or
certified American lineage specialists (CALSs). In this same decade the Mormon church expanded its
resources by allowing nonmembers to use its resources and by gathering records onto thousands of
rolls of microfilm.
The new culture of family history and heritage has had major consequences. Genealogy has
become a billion-dollar industry and a significant component of the American economy. The computer
revolution and the Internet have given a major impetus to the size and dynamics of the family history
24

market. Now Americans can research their family tree from their homes. Ancestry.com has gone
through a series of transformations to become the largest Internet genealogy provider, with two million
subscribers in July 2012, ten million records, and 2011 revenues approaching $400 million. Another
major transformation of genealogy has been the return of genetics to genealogy. A previous era of
racial genealogy and emphasis on heredity has returned in a way due to DNA tests. People who
seldom researched their ancestries like African Americans or those who were selective about their
family history now recognize their origins are more mixed than they realized. One famous example of
DNA testing involves Thomas Jefferson and the possibility that he fathered children with his slave, Sally
Hemings. Television shows have recently featured famous African Americans and their origins in
Africa, known now due to DNA tests. Other television shows have featured famous Americans finding
their roots with the help of expert genealogists.
Individual family histories tell us far more complex stories than we may sometimes want to know.
For Americans, genealogy has been a quest of discovery of who they were, or who they thought they
were, or who they wanted to be. They have relied on genealogy to reinforce otherwise weak identities
within a larger society, to locate themselves in historical time, and to include and exclude others.
This book is completed with 61 pages of endnotes, plus acknowledgments, and an index.
“The First School
It is less than sixty years since the first school was opened within the limits of Iowa, nevertheless
several claimants have been presented for the honor of being regarded the first teacher. The evidence
now seems conclusive in favor of Mr. Berryman Jennings. Prof. T. S. Parvin has gathered the facts on
this point with great care and skill, and from one of Mr. Jennings’s letters to him the following extracts
are taken: ‘I do not remember the names of the pupils of my school or of my patrons, but I do
remember that I taught school in Lee County, Iowa, in 1830, and that it was the first school taught north
of Missouri and west of the Mississippi River, a very large school district, extending to Canada on the
north and to the Pacific Ocean on the west, where there are now some thirteen or more States and
Territories.
I was residing on the half-breed tract, now part of Lee County, in 1830. Dr. Isaac Galland, an eminent
physician and citizen, resided six or eight miles about the present site of Keokuk, on the Mississippi
River, near where resided several American citizens who had children of a school age. The doctor
prevailed upon me to teach a three months’ school. Dr. Galland furnished rooms, fuel, furniture, and
board in his family. While teaching he gave me the use of his medical books (with which he was well
supplied) to read, and after school I continued to read until midsummer of 1831, when I was taken sick;
convalescing, I returned to my father in Warren County, Ill.
This school room was as all other buildings in that new country, a log cabin built of round logs or poles
notched close and mudded for comfort, logs cut out for doors and windows, and also for fireplaces.
The jamb back of the fireplace was of packed dry dirt, the chimney topped out with sticks and mud.
This cabin, like all others of that day, was covered with clapboard. This was to economize time and
nails, which were scarce and far between. There were no stoves in those days, and the fireplace was
used for cooking as well as comfort.’ “
