Former commanders of the post:
Col. Wm. Avery
Benjamin N. Smith
Gardner S. Southwork
George Eckert (not sure of spelling)
Wm. H. Munroe
Adelbert S. Wright
Lathrop H.S. Barrows
Frank E. Hemford
Abram Stell
A.S. Wright was adjutant for the post's whole history up to that point.
It went on to say, "No Memorial Day observation would have been complete without members of the post having charge and marching to the cemeteries to decorate the graves until depletion by death caused the dissolution of the post."
Much like today's loss of our World War II veterans.
