Members of Buzzell Post #24
The G.A.R (Grand Army of the Republic) was comprised
of men who fought in the Civil War to preserve the Union. The local post was
originally formed March 28th, 1883 as the F. M. Johnston Post #24 in
Fair Haven Minnesota; they eventually changed their name to the J. L. Buzzell
Post #24. The eleven charter
members were: Buster B. Furwell, William H. Stinchfield, Mack Jarvis Kennedy,
Charles Neil, John H. Bliler, Marion F. Johnston, R. R. Sargent, Jotham L.
Buzzell, Alonzo Spaulding, F. M. Teitjen, Thomas J. Cadwell.
This list was compiled by Brian Partridge from the original
Post Descriptive Book, Lookout Circle Minutes, research from local records and
newspaper clippings of the J. L. Buzzell Post.
Some names do not appear in the descriptive book but do appear in other
articles; as members of the Post.
There are some names missing because they were not legible.
