    1. Re: "Trenton" magazine and Civil War veterans
    2. Charles D. Webster, IV
    3. Holly, Trenton magazine was the business publication of the Trenton Chamber of Commerce. Today the magazine is called Mercer Business. The Trenton Public Library has a complete run to the magazine, its a great resource. As for the records of the GAR, they are scattered about and are mostly just the proceedings of the state department. I have not run across any local records. I do know that the records for Post 23 were destroyed in a fire sometime in the 30's or 40's tho. Hope all this helps.
