Veterans canvass year’s work at Indiana Grand Army encampment
The twenty-eighth annual G A R encampment opened at Princess rink with Department Commander E R Brown presiding. Gen R B Brown and Joseph W O’Neall attended, as did Rev W P McKinsey. Brown reviewed visits to posts, membership losses totaling 473, and finances showing the department living within its income while noting a small deficit in the quartermaster report. He defended the Soldiers and Sailors Orphans’ Home and praised the State Soldiers’ Home, recounting its Fort Wayne origins and cottage-plan setup.
