As stated before, the first G.A.R. Post in McHenry County was Post No. 108, organized in 1880. The initial source did not give the name of the post and, the G.A.R., Grand Army of the Republic posts were named after Civil War veterans. I later came across the name of their post as being the A.S. Wright Post No. 108.
Looking at its list of commanders, I see one was Adelbert S. Wright, who was also adjutant of the group for its whole history up to 1915.
In 1915, the post had 34 members.
