GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC
The Grand Army of the Republic
lias been meeting in annual encamp .
ment at Portland, Ore. during the
present week It is the lirst time I
that the annual gathering ol the Civil 1
war veterans has been held ii.t the
l’aeitie Northwest Approximately j
fir,,000 men who answered President
Lincoln’s (-all to arms have been in
attendance, coining from every sec
lion ol the country.
The attendance at these annual1 en
campments never has been below 50,
non in the past, but the rapidly dwin
dling membership roll each year
accounts for the reduction in the num
ber attending Aside from this, many
old soldiers probably found it impos
sible to attempt the long transconti
nental trip from the Atlantic sea
board. At one time these annual en
campments were attended by approxi
mately a quarter of a million of the
veteran lighters.
The Grand Army of the Republic
was organized at Decatur, 111., in
IStiti. Its membership numbered 500,
oni) during the tirst few years of its
existence. The present average age
of survivors is about 7t> years
