The Grand Army of the Republic, often referred to as the G.A.R., was founded at Decatur, Illinois, in 1866 by  Dr. Benjamin Franklin Stephenson. To become a member of the Grand Army a man must have served in the United States Army, Navy, Marine Corps, or Revenue Cutter Service (today’s United States Coast Guard) between April 9, 1861 and April 12, 1865.  He must have been honorably discharged from the service and have never taken up arms against the United States of America. As the veterans of the Civil War began to pass on the membership of the Grand Army slowly dwindled away. The G.A.R. held its last National Encampment at Indianapolis, Indiana in 1949.  Six surviving Comrades attended that Encampment.  The last member of the Grand Army of the Republic, Albert Wollson, died in 1956.
