IOWA CIVIL WAR SOLDIERS WHO WERE MEMBERS OF THE GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC, DEPARTMENT OF CALIFORNIA

David C. Bailey, Sr.

Past Department Commander, IL Department, Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War

Naperville, IL

This is the second in a series of articles which use records of the Grand Army of the Republic (aka the GAR) to track the post-war movements of Iowa’s Civil War veterans. The first dealt with those Iowa Civil War soldiers who were members of the GAR in Colorado and Wyoming.1 The GAR was the largest veterans’ organization to appear after the conflict. During its active years, the GAR had a significant influence on politics, law, and social programs in the United States. Memorial Day was established as a national holiday, five GAR members were elected President of the United States, many of the Governors in the northern states were members, soldiers' homes were founded, veterans’ relief programs were established and ever more valuable pensions were given to the Union veterans. In many cases it was impossible for someone to be elected to public office if he were not a veteran of the Civil War and did not have the support of the GAR. National Encampments were yearly meetings that attracted over 25,000 veterans in the 1890’s. By 1890 when the GAR was reaching its peak, membership reached almost 500,000. The final Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic was held in Indianapolis, IN in 1949.2

The GAR in California was originally organized on 21 Feb 1868 and included the states of California and Nevada, as well as the then Arizona Territory and the Hawaiian Islands. (Note: A separate Department of Arizona was created on 17 Jan 1888.) At one time or another there were over 200 individual Posts within the Department, most in California. Virtually any town of appreciable size had a functioning Post. Larger cities, such as San Francisco (with at least six) and Los Angeles (with at least four) had multiple Posts.3-8

GAR records can be very useful in tracking the post-war movements of Union Civil War veterans. Unfortunately many original records from local Posts have been lost and only a few Post and Departmental records were published. Those that were tend to be difficult to locate. This article is based on a relatively scarce roster of the then existing 125 Posts in the Department of California published in 1886.9

The following information of interest to genealogists is provided for each soldier (if available):

• Birth – Date (from burial records) and location, or age at enlistment

• Service – A brief summary of the soldier’s service record; service in multiple units is included. Rank at the veteran’s severance from the service is indicated. (Note: This means that if a soldier enlisted as a Sergeant and was promoted to Captain, only the latter rank is given. Conversely, if a soldier enlisted as a Corporal, but was later reduced to the ranks, his rank is shown as Private.) Other service highlights such as instances of wounding or being captured are also noted.

• Widow – Name of surviving spouse from pension application

• Death – Date and location

• Burial – Cemetery and either city or county

• Miscellaneous – Membership in the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States (MOLLUS, a veteran’s organization for officers) and admissions to National Soldier’s Homes

It is also important to note what this list is not. It is not a complete list of Iowa Civil War veterans who resided at one time or another in the area covered by the Department of California. While the GAR was the largest Civil War veterans’ organization, not all veterans belonged to it. Whether due to political reasons, absence of a conveniently located local Post or other reasons, some veterans chose to eschew membership. This is also not a complete list of Iowa veterans who were members of the GAR in the Department of California over the entire period of the organization’s existence. This list is based on a roster that is essentially a snapshot of the membership at a distinct point in time. Other veterans may have been members, but moved or relocated prior to the dates of the underlying rosters. Others may have migrated to these two states and joined the local GAR at other times.

Naturalizations - First Papers

The Iowa Genealogical Society recived a number of naturalization documents from the district court files in Polk Co.. Volunteer members scanned the documents and, when the ink was faded, transcribed the information. Great care was taken to assure each name was correct with the coordinating scan. The documents were then indexed for easy use.

The images on this page are available to IGS members for $5.00 or to non-members for $7.50 per sheet plus $2.50 postage and handling by writing to IGS (see page 1 for the address) with the requested names. The front side, back side and transcription for an individual all are included in the mailing.

The indexing of the naturalization images used the following guidelines.

• If there was more than one date on a document, the earliest date was used in the name. The dating system of "year-month-day" was used.

• If the immigrant's signature was legible, his spelling was used for the name.

• If the name was difficult to decipher, other volunteers were consulted. Census indexes, city directories and Ancestry.com were also used to determine the name.

• In the rare instance of not being able to decipher a given name, the symbol ^^^ is used with the first initial of the name.

• There are a few documents in which the immigrant wrote his first name and the clerk wrote a different/similar name; i.e. Johannes vs. Jonathan or Charles vs. Carl. In these cases, the immigrant's signature was used as the name with the clerk's interpatation in parentheses.

• If the document originated in another Co., the document was filed in Polk Co. Iowa.

• Even though the document was larger than 8x11 inches, the information on the back side may not have been that large. So the back side was usually scanned at the 8x11 size. No information was omitted to do this.

• Depending on the original paper size, the document was bi-folded or tri-folded to about 3x8 inch size. The name was written by the court clerk across one end for filing. This resulted in the "back side" of the document.

• There were some documents where the name on the back side did not agree with the name on the actual document. (Sometimes this is the name of the court clerk, which is the first name appearing on the document).

Iowa Pioneer, Century & Statehood Certificates

The IOWA CERTIFICATE project is available for anyone whose ancestor was in Iowa during specific time periods. Sources of proof can be census, county history, Bible record, land record, etc. The completed application and copies of proof are filed at the library for the patrons’ use.

Application for Certificates

The Iowa Genealogical Society issues certificates to persons who are directly descended from Iowa Pioneers. Applications must prove direct descent and prove that the ancestor settled in Iowa

• By 1846, to receive a Statehood Certificate;

• By 1856, to receive a Pioneer Certificate;

• More than 100 years prior to the date of application, for a Century Certificate.

Applicants may apply for certificates to be issued to themselves or to other persons. The person to whom the certificate is issued need not currently live in Iowa.

The purpose of the Certificate Program is to recognize families with Iowa roots, encourage people to undertake genealogical research, and to provide genealogical resources for researches in our library.

The information and application are available at the library or by sending a self-addressed stamped envelope to IGS. You may also find the information and application on our website http://www.iowagenealogy.org/library/research/ . The cost is $10.00 per certificate for members of IGS and $10.00 for non-members. The certificate is suitable for framing.

Following are the certificates issued September 2012 through January 2013.
