They are: 1. Page 663. (Section on Republic, Scipio Township) "Horace Robinson Post, G.A.R., was established under charter September 10, 1881 and named in honor of a soldier who fell at Chancellorsville, May 2, 1863.

In addition to the above, there is a list of the soldiers from Seneca County who served in the War of 1861-1865. The list appears on pages 348-369 of the History of Seneca County, Ohio, and gives name, date of enlistment, company and regiment, and date of death or discharge. If you have a particular soldier in mind, I'd be glad to look it up in this list. We also hold an Index to the entire publication of the History of Seneca County, Ohio by Warner, Beers & Co., 1886. The Index was compiled by the Seneca County Chapter, OGS, 1992. Regards, Ken Shute (kwsroots@aol.com).
