Heath Post G. A. r.

Heath Post G. A. r. was organized
in 1867 by Captain L. d. Haley of the
Fifth Maine Battery, who was it's
first commander. During the fifty
five years that have elapsed between
that date and the present time the
organization has teen one of the lead
ing posts OF the State. It has had
a brilliant past. It's membership has
been large and has included men
prominent in the business and social
life 0 fthe city, the county and the
State. Its membership has, due to
the flight of Father Time been re-
duced until it now numbers, Accord
ing to the best information the re-
porter COULD obtain, %.
The post owns the building known
as Grand Army hall, and its members
have been justly proud of their uld-
ing, which has always been kept in
the best of repair. Some Of the mem
bers feel that the upkeep of the
building has become quite an OK
haustiVe bit of work for the post
and for sometime they have been
considering putting the building in
other hands. The meeting which
has been called for Friday afternoon
at $50 o'clock is to discuss this mat
ter. There are three organizations
being considered. The organization
of ladies that is affiliated with the
post, the Sons of Veterans and the
Benjamin Z. Smith Post, American
Legion. Both of the former have
been actively associated with the post
and has ardent advocates among the
post members. The American Leg
ion, is maintaining rooms of its twn
at the present time on Water street
and there are members of the Heath
Post who would like to see the work
they have done perpetuated ~ this
organization. Whatver may be the
outcome of the meeting, Heath Post
will continue to exist, we hope. for
many years, and Just as long as 1T
does exist will hold the respect ard
veneration in the hearts of the cub
lie Of the city that it has had for so
many years.
