SENIOR VICE COMMANDER NJ ELROY.
In Grand Army circles and elsewhere there is
no better known or better liked man in Wash
iLgton than John McElroy, senior vice COM
mander of the Department Of the Potomac and
chairman of the committee on reunions for tho
encampment. His popularity arises both from
his abilities and genial nature. Mr.. McElroy
has the entire modus operandi OF newspaper
Office at his finger ends and both rs writer Of
force and power and a manager has shown his
excellence. He was born in Kentucky and
might be said to have been raised in prin ling
oaice. At an early age he becams printers
apprentice and worked in Offices in the west,
including st. Louis and Chicago. The war
found him in Chicago and he was prompt In
answering his country's call. He enlisted il
the Illinois legion, n body OF troops hastily Or
gani2ed for the purpo:e Of saving Cairo.
He served ont his six months and WAS
discharged. The second coll for troors in 1862
found Mr.. McElroy ready and willing and
he became member of company c, Nc
Clernand body guard, which a crack or
GaniZation Intended as "A special body guard for
John A. McClernand, who at that time
was suppoied TO be the coming man in the
west. The organization was assigned to the
army before Nicksburg, and after the fall of
that citadel the battalion was consolidated int
the sixteenth Illinois cavalry and was sent with
Burnside into east Tennessee to redeem that
loyal PORTION Of the state from rebel rule The
]
was sent to Powell's valley, w.. where it de-
feated i'll succession two rebel regiments sent to
guard the valley. Later on, however. a brigade
OK confederates surrounded the Union troops
and on the 81 OF January, 1864, after desperate
resistance lasting from daylight TO shutdown,
captured tho command. Or the $50 men COM
osing the battalion sixty-fve were killed in the
fight. and Of those taken prisoners at least $50
died in prison. or Mr.. McElrOy's own COM
rany sixtr-two were taken prisoners and forty
nine died before the prisoners were released.
Mr.. McElroy was held at Richmond and after
ward sent to Andersonvilie. where he was one
of the first squad to enter that deathtrap. He
was AT Anderson lille six months and afterward
was held at Savannah, Mullen, Blackshire,
Charleston and Florence. His acquaintance
with rebel prisoners was therefore hot
a casual one. and since the war
Mr.. McElroy has related his experiences es-
pecially at Andersonville, with force and vigor
which have secured for the book a wide fMIe.
| He was released from the south in March. 1866,
having spent year and three months in vari-
| Gus prisons. After the war Mr.. McElroy took
] mp his life again reporter on various Chicago
I papers, and finally joined the Toledo Blade, Of
which paper he WINS managing editor for ten
years. In 1884 he accepted an offer from Capt
Lemon to become managing editor OF the Ma
ttonaI Tribune of this city, where his work can
be attested by the tremendous circulation which
that Journal enjoys.

Republic the Union veterans Of tho lato war re-
siding in Washington were not slow to recognize
the benefit arising from organized effort in Sc
curing employment for needy comrades or their
widows and orphans and in otherwise rendering
them assistance. As further motive arose the
desire to perpetuate the memories Of patriotic
tervices rendered by both living and dead and
to keep alive recollection, Of tho camp, march
and bivouac. The attempt to organize the
Grand Army Of the Republic in this location
met with such success that on February ID, 1869,
department was regularly created. In keep
ing with the sentiment attached to the name Of
Potomac, by reason Of the fact that yer Y many
comrades in this city had served In tho army
bearing that name and that such service had
been along and upon the banks Of the Potomac,
the department of the Potomac" was appro-
priately selected as its designation. Though
confronted by some Of the obstacles which early
beset the progress Of the G. A. r. In all the
departments then formed it has Of Int years
steadily grown in numbers strength and influ-
ence. Among its membership are many COM
rades who gained renown on land and sen dur
ing the war Of the rebellion, and others who
have been singled out by department and ma
honal encampments for honor and preferment.
Since 1885 it has doubled its membership and
increased its posts in the same ratio, and
though among the smaller departments is in
healthy and prosperous condition. 1t now has
twenty posts and about $500 members in good
standing
