Same source as last two entries.
The Women's Relief Corps, No. 223, organized January 1893 to aid the G.A.R. veterans. They have much of the credit for the statue in Woodstock Square (the one featured in the snowball fight in the movie "Groundhog Day" which was filmed in Woodstock). It took them years, but they final;ly raised over $3,000 for it.
Its meetings were held each month in the G.A.R. Hall and they were still active as late as 1938.
I found no mention of where the G.A.R. Hall was.
