1891 Grand Army of the Republic Memorial Day Parade

For more than 50 years this local patriotic group helped honor fallen comrades in the battlefield.

The Los Gatos chapter of the Grand Army of the Republic was organized by ex-Union soldiers on July 17, 1885.

The post led Los Gatos Memorial Day observances until their membership thinned. The last member died March 28, 1937 and the post ceased to exist.
