Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 19, Number 11, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 12 October 1897 — The Post of Priests. [ARTICLE]

The Post of Priests.

The Grand Army Post, comprised, with one exception, entirely of priests and of brothers from the order of the Holy Cross, was formally mustered in Tuesday night at Notre Dame University. It was an occasion singular in the history of the G. A. R., and one never to be forgotten. Posts were present from Elkhart and South Bend. A camp-fire attended by a great number of people, followed the installation, at which addresses were made by Commander James S. Dodge and others.
