Scope and Contents
From the Collection:
The John F. Reynolds Post No. 5 records have been organized into two series: Meeting minutes & Financial Records, and Subject Files.
The Meeting Minutes Series covers only the period of 1898 to 1911 but are very complete for that period. The financial ledger covers the period 1898 to 1914. It includes records of the dues paid by each member as well as the general financial transactions of the Post.
The Subject Files Series includes miscellaneous papers to include lists of deceased members and those buried at Riverside Cemetery in Fargo, N.D.. The Descriptive Book Number 1 appears to be the earliest item in the collection. It lists 94 members of the post giving vital statistics, military service, and membership information, and sometimes date of death. The book has entries from the organization of the post in 1884 to 1902. There is also a 1923 financial statement, 1913 membership list, a sign-in register for the 1909 to 1912 North Dakota Encampments, and programs from the 1922 and 1923 encampments. The collection also contains a hard cover ritual book with the post name and number handwritten inside.
