........

          LINCOLN POST, No. 11, was organized in 1868, principally by members of Kearny Post.  The charter members were E. W. Davis, Richard Hopwood,

         Augustus Bock, Ernest Fischer, Michael Beahan, William Ward, Samuel Clark, Abraham Jenkinson, Amos H. Van Horn and Peter F. Rogers.

        The officers for 1884 were E. F. Brainerd, Commander; S. V. C. Van Rensselaer, S. V. C.; John Leonard, J. V. C.; George W. Drake, Quartermaster; 

        A. R. Marsh, Adjutant; M. N. Dunham, Officer of the Day; J. B. Macpherson, Officer of the Guard; H. P. Roden, M.D., Surgeon; J. L. Miller, 

        Sergeant-Major; E. L. Smith, Quartermaster-Sergeant.

       Past Commanders, William Ward, E. W. Davis, F. W. Sullivan, E. L. Smith, Richard Hopwood, George W. Drake, George F. Simpson, John Connolly, 

       and Frank P. Mulcahy.  The post now numbers one hundred and ninety members, and holds its encampments every Monday evening at 755 Broad Street .

       THE SOCIETY OF RICHMOND is an association composed of all persons who accompanied Lincoln Post to Richmond, Va., on Oct. 17, 1883, on their fraternal 

       visit to Robert E. Lee Camp, No. 1, of Confederate veterans, and Phil Kearny Post, No. 1, G.A.R., of the State of Virginia, and all other members of Lincoln Post 

       who may desire to become members of the society.  The object of the association is the perpetuation of the memories of the trip to Richmond and a closer union 

       of the participants in social relationship.  It holds its regular meetings on the third Friday of each month.  Its officers are as follows: Hon. William Stainsby, 

       President; Joseph C. Wambold, Sec.; Samuel Klotz, Treas.; Benjamin Knapp, Sergeant-at-Arms; Joseph E. Haynes, William H. Hamilton, E. F. Brainard, Joseph Coult, 

       John Muller, Robert Kierstead, and Andrew J. Marsh, Vice-Presidents; J. Frank Fort, F. W. Sullivan, Augustus Dusenberry, J. Rennie Smith, L. R. Brainard and 

       J. J. Hockenjos, Executive Committee.

      On the 22d of April, 1884, the society held a meeting in the Park Theatre in aid of the fund now being raised for a “Home for the Disabled and Worn-out Soldiers” 

      who were in the Confederate service.  The meeting was addressed by the Rev. Dr. George H. Hepworth, Cortlandt Parker, Esq., Gen. John B. Gordon 

      (successor of Stonewall Jackson) and others, each of whom used his most eloquent efforts to enlist the sympathy and secure the co-operation of every 

      lover of his country and friend of suffering humanity in the object of the meeting.  The response was as generous as could be hoped for, the amount 

      realized aggregating considerably over one thousand dollars.
