Good morning list! Is anyone, or has anyone, compiled a list of men who were members of the Wilde Post, NO 25 GAR? I have looked at John Bullock's website, Old Chester, PA, and have seen a link listing men from this post, however, two of my great grandfathers served in the Civil War and were members of Wilde Post and are not included in the list. Also, does anyone know where I would query for records of the Wilde Post? I would be happy to share any info I receive in my searches. If anyone out there has information on these two men (below) - PLEASE contact me! Thanks. Joseph DALTON and James F. PIERCE (please see their obits below which mention the Wilde Post) DEATH OF CAPTAIN PIERCE Old Fisherman and Veteran of the Civil War Succumbs to an Operation. The death of Captain James F. Pierce late Saturday night following an operation in the Chester hospital, came as a surprise and shock for the many friends and aquaintainces of the veteran fisherman and soldier. Captain Pierce located in this city when a mere boy, he having been born in Marcus Hook. Most of his life was spent gunning and fishing along the waters of the Delaware river and bay and he ranked among the oldest fishermen of this section. Deceased served his country in the great struggle of the Civil War and was a member of Wilde Post, No. 25, G.A.R. which organization will attend his funeral. His illness was somewhat protracted, but it was only a few days ago that he was taken to the hospital in the hope that an operation would benefit him, but it proved too late. ------------------------------------------- DALTON--At Philadelphia, on the 29th inst., Joseph Dalton, formerly of Upland, in his 64th year.

Friday, May 1, 1903 (page 5) **************** JOSEPH DALTON Joseph Dalton, of Upland, whose death was reported in the Times yesterday is another of the citizens to whom this country owes Lasting gratitude. He was one of the boys who responded to the call of President Lincoln in the dark days of the Rebellion, when defenders were sorely needed that the Union might be preserved, and the country cannot honor these brave men too highly. To his record for bravery in time of danger, Mr. Dalton added that of probity and honesty of life. His word was never questioned and the people of his hometown, who best know his worth, will honor his memory as one of the citizens who made the world better by living in it. Late in life he received recognition of his services and his worth by appointment to the position of postmaster of Upland, a post he filled with fidelity. (Chester Times--Chester, Pa.
