Grand Army of the Republic Ky. Post #171 records of the James C. West Post #171 & Women's Relief Corps #48.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/476167684

These are the surviving records of two related community organizations in Madison County, Kentucky: the Captain James C. West Post #171 of the Kentucky Department of the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) and the Captain James C. West Women's Relief Corps #48 Auxiliary to the GAR. The Captain James West Post was organized by Union Army veterans on May 24, 1890. The Captain James West Women's Relief Corps #48 Auxiliary was organized on March 17, 1906. Although the last entry for Post #171 was for November 9, 1930, records of the Women's Relief Corps suggest that Post #171 continued several more years, probably in joint meetings with the Women's Auxiliary.
