Five volumes.

The financial records series is comprised of five ledgers, outlining the income and expenses of the group. The expenses included in these volumes provide details of each fund that the organization sponsored, as well as each headstone and plot purchased in Westwood Cemetery (Oberlin, Ohio), and the collected dues from each member. This series also includes the Quartermaster’s financial reports, check stubs, and receipts.

The historical records include printed matter – programs from speeches and other events, catalogues of grave markers, and other leaflets released by the GAR. Two noteworthy files in this series contain the certificate of appointment of Henry Lincoln to the post of Orderly Sergeant of the Seventh Regiment of the Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and materials relating to the Old Soldier’s Musical Festival of 1888.
