&lt;p&gt;This collection is an index of the names on the Veteran's Memorial Wall in &lt;a href="https://maps.google.com/maps?q=union+city+michigan&amp;amp;ll=42.066054,-85.134321&amp;amp;spn=0.002419,0.002342&amp;amp;hnear=Union+City,+Branch,+Michigan&amp;amp;t=h&amp;amp;z=19&amp;amp;layer=c&amp;amp;cbll=42.066054,-85.134321&amp;amp;panoid=cFstMhOCXrt8iGlGET_EPQ&amp;amp;cbp=12,48.29,,0,-2.06"&gt;Union City, Michigan&lt;/a&gt;. Biographical information and photographs will be presented when they are available.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Each veteran's name is associated with a location number, representing the position on the Memorial Wall where the name may be found. The number is comprised of the following parts:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;ul&gt;&#13;
&lt;li&gt;F = FRONT - Front side of the wall is facing the bridge.&lt;/li&gt;&#13;
&lt;li&gt;B = BACK - Back side of the wall is facing the flag.&lt;/li&gt;&#13;
&lt;li&gt;C = CENTER - Larger column of names are in the middle of the wall.&lt;/li&gt;&#13;
&lt;li&gt;R = RIGHT SIDE - All names to the right side of center column.&lt;/li&gt;&#13;
&lt;li&gt;L = LEFT SIDE - All columns of names to the left side of center column.&lt;/li&gt;&#13;
&lt;/ul&gt;&#13;
&lt;img src="/images/union_city_veterans_wall_key.png" alt="Veteran's Wall Key" /&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;For example, Thomas Madden's Veteran's location number is &lt;strong&gt;BR-7-16&lt;/strong&gt;. His name is on the back of the wall, right side of the center column, in the 7th column, and the 16th name from the top. &lt;br /&gt; (&lt;strong&gt;B&lt;/strong&gt;ack &lt;strong&gt;R&lt;/strong&gt;ight - column &lt;strong&gt;7&lt;/strong&gt; - &lt;strong&gt;16&lt;/strong&gt;th from top) - &lt;strong&gt;BR - 7 - 16&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;For example, John R Lake's Veteran's location number is &lt;strong&gt;FL-4-08&lt;/strong&gt;. His name is on the front of the wall, left side of the center column, in the 4th column, and the 8th name from the top.&lt;br /&gt; (&lt;strong&gt;F&lt;/strong&gt;ront &lt;strong&gt;L&lt;/strong&gt;eft - column &lt;strong&gt;4&lt;/strong&gt; - &lt;strong&gt;8&lt;/strong&gt;th from top): &lt;strong&gt;FL - 4 - 8&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;p&gt;This collection is an index of the names on the Veteran's Memorial Wall in &lt;a href="https://maps.google.com/maps?q=union+city+michigan&amp;amp;ll=42.066054,-85.134321&amp;amp;spn=0.002419,0.002342&amp;amp;hnear=Union+City,+Branch,+Michigan&amp;amp;t=h&amp;amp;z=19&amp;amp;layer=c&amp;amp;cbll=42.066054,-85.134321&amp;amp;panoid=cFstMhOCXrt8iGlGET_EPQ&amp;amp;cbp=12,48.29,,0,-2.06"&gt;Union City, Michigan&lt;/a&gt;.

&lt;p&gt;Each veteran's name is associated with a location number, representing the position on the Memorial Wall where the name may be found. The number is comprised of the following parts:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;ul&gt;&#13;
&lt;li&gt;F = FRONT - Front side of the wall is facing the bridge.&lt;/li&gt;&#13;
&lt;li&gt;B = BACK - Back side of the wall is facing the flag.&lt;/li&gt;&#13;
&lt;li&gt;C = CENTER - Larger column of names are in the middle of the wall.&lt;/li&gt;&#13;
&lt;li&gt;R = RIGHT SIDE - All names to the right side of center column.&lt;/li&gt;&#13;
&lt;li&gt;L = LEFT SIDE - All columns of names to the left side of center column.&lt;/li&gt;&#13;

His name is on the back of the wall, right side of the center column, in the 7th column, and the 16th name from the top. &lt;br /&gt; (&lt;strong&gt;B&lt;/strong&gt;ack &lt;strong&gt;R&lt;/strong&gt;ight - column &lt;strong&gt;7&lt;/strong&gt; - &lt;strong&gt;16&lt;/strong&gt;th from top) - &lt;strong&gt;BR - 7 - 16&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;For example, John R Lake's Veteran's location number is &lt;strong&gt;FL-4-08&lt;/strong&gt;. His name is on the front of the wall, left side of the center column, in the 4th column, and the 8th name from the top.&lt;br /&gt; (&lt;strong&gt;F&lt;/strong&gt;ront &lt;strong&gt;L&lt;/strong&gt;eft - column &lt;strong&gt;4&lt;/strong&gt; - &lt;strong&gt;8&lt;/strong&gt;th from top): &lt;strong&gt;FL - 4 - 8&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;li&gt;F = FRONT - Front side of the wall is facing the bridge.&lt;/li&gt;&#13;
&lt;li&gt;B = BACK - Back side of the wall is facing the flag.&lt;/li&gt;&#13;
&lt;li&gt;C = CENTER - Larger column of names are in the middle of the wall.&lt;/li&gt;&#13;
&lt;li&gt;R = RIGHT SIDE - All names to the right side of center column.&lt;/li&gt;&#13;
&lt;li&gt;L = LEFT SIDE - All columns of names to the left side of center column.&lt;/li&gt;&#13;
&lt;/ul&gt;&#13;
&lt;img src="/images/union_city_veterans_wall_key.png" alt="Veteran's Wall Key" /&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;For example, Thomas Madden's Veteran's location number is &lt;strong&gt;BR-7-16&lt;/strong&gt;. His name is on the back of the wall, right side of the center column, in the 7th column, and the 16th name from the top. &lt;br /&gt; (&lt;strong&gt;B&lt;/strong&gt;ack &lt;strong&gt;R&lt;/strong&gt;ight - column &lt;strong&gt;7&lt;/strong&gt; - &lt;strong&gt;16&lt;/strong&gt;th from top) - &lt;strong&gt;BR - 7 - 16&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;For example, John R Lake's Veteran's location number is &lt;strong&gt;FL-4-08&lt;/strong&gt;. His name is on the front of the wall, left side of the center column, in the 4th column, and the 8th name from the top.&lt;br /&gt; (&lt;strong&gt;F&lt;/strong&gt;ront &lt;strong&gt;L&lt;/strong&gt;eft - column &lt;strong&gt;4&lt;/strong&gt; - &lt;strong&gt;8&lt;/strong&gt;th from top): &lt;strong&gt;FL - 4 - 8&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

                  <text>On Friday, March 6, 2026, Union City experienced one of the worst storms Branch County has seen in over 60 years. Sadly, three lives were lost, many were injured, and homes were destroyed.&#13;
In an effort to preserve the history of this event and to document its impact on our community, the Holbrook Heritage Room asked the community to send in their photographs and videos to create an archive of the storm and its aftermath.  This collection includes the storm itself, damage, cleanup efforts, emergency response, and neighbors helping neighbors.</text>

                  <text>On Friday, March 6, 2026, Union City experienced one of the worst storms Branch County has seen in over 60 years. Sadly, three lives were lost, many were injured, and homes were destroyed.&#13;
In an effort to preserve the history of this event and to document its impact on our community, the Holbrook Heritage Room asked the community to send in their photographs and videos to create an archive of the storm and its aftermath.  This collection includes the storm itself, damage, cleanup efforts, emergency response, and neighbors helping neighbors.</text>

The toils and duties of our soldier life are over. As the object of the Grund Army of the Republic is to preserve its memories,
not for the purpose of keeping alive the animosities of the War, but ns an ever living influence for good in all our hearts, in a true soldierly
spirit of Fraternity, Charity and Loyalty; so the Grand Army Memorial Record is designed to aid in collecting, preserving and perpetuating the
Military History of each Grand Army Comrade.
The Grand Army of the Republic is distinctly the representative of the rank mid Hie of the army of 1861-5. It is here that private
soldiers are found in the majority, and it remains for them to furnish the facts and material from which the future historian may
write for oar posterity, a truthful and complete history of the Great Civil Win- of America.

corresponding if possible with his number on the Post Descriptive List, and inserting therein his Military History in brief.

Each

Lithographed page when so filled should be subscribed by the Comrade named therein. If dead, his record should be certified as correct, by
the Historian, according to his best information and belief. By a vote of the Post, at a regular meeting, a record of which should be
kept in the Adjutant’s Minutes, an additional page, pages or portion of a page in the Appendix of the Memorial Record Book, may

reference made thereto in the Index, and on the Lithographed page as follows: See Appendix, Page
(The person after whom
the Post is named and Soldiers and Sailors whose graves are decorated by the Post on Memorial Day, may also be assigned a page in the
Record by vote of the Post.)

Second—Upon the death of a Comrade in good standing, the Post should hold Memorial services as prescribed in the Ritual.

When

the Commander calls for the Military Record of the deceased, it should be read by the Adjutant from the ‘‘Memorial Record Book.”

Memorial Resolutions, when adopted, should be inserted in their appropriate place on the Lithographed page assigned to the deceased
Comrade. If too long for this space, then by vote of the Post additional space may be assigned in the Appendix, and a record thereof
kept and references made thereto as above provided. Whenever a Comrade’s death is the result, either directly or indirectly of the
disability for which he draws a pension, that fact should always be stated in the Memorial Resolutions.
The Post surgeon
should be a member of the Committee on Resolutions. A copy of the “Memorial Record” page or pages so completed, and signed by
the Commander and Adjutant, should be sent to the widow of the deceased, or to the family. The Commander and Adjutant should
in all eases not otherwise provided for, certify to the correctness of the transcript or copies furnished.

Third.—The last surviving 01001 her of the Post should be constituted and created a Trustee, for the purpose of exercising the care
and having the custody of, the “Grand Army Memorial Record Book.” It should be his duty, and he should be empowered, to carefully,
and faithfully deposit said ‘‘Memorial Record Book” m the Public Library of the place where the Post is located. Provided however. that
in case there should be none, or he does not deem it a suitable depository, then he should deposit said Book in the State Library at the State
Capitol, subject to the care and control of the Commander-in-Chief of the National Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic
Provided further. That in case said trustee be so ordered, he should cause said Memorial Record Book, to be deposited in the office
of the Librarian of Congress, to become the property of the National Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic, and unconditionally
subject to its control.

It is by this means that the Military History of each Comrade of the Grand Army of the Republic can be procured, preserved and
perpetuated, and an authentic record preserved, of the widows and orphans of our late Comrades.

It is hoped and expected that Congressional and State Legislation will make these Memorial Record Books documentary evidence in
certain cases, and of certain facts therein contained, and that certified copies of the Record may be accepted in the courts and govermental
departments, as prima facie evidence of the facts therein alleged. Great care and mathematical accuracy should be observed in the matter of
names, dates, localities and events.
• The limited space for the Military Record on the Lithographed page, is designed only for a list of battles and engagements in which

the Comrade participated; when and where wounded; when and where imprisoned (if a prisoner,); and any incidents of particular interest.
The Burial Record is designed not only for the deceased Comrades of the Grand Army of the Republic, but for those whose graves we
have been accustomed to decorate on each Memorial Day.
The Grand Army Memorial Record is respectfully dedicated to the Veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic.

Ned C.Drake, Veteran ot The Spanish- i
American War, Answers Final
LRoll Call.
***
One of the saddest deaths which we
have been called upon to chronicle ini
some time occurred last Saturday mom-;
ing at 0:30 o'clock, when Ned C. Drake
son of Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Drake, passed
away at the age of only 28 years. While
serving his country in the Southland in
the Spanish-American war the deceased
fell a victim to’the insidious approach of
disease which later developed, andi
against which he fought a noble but^
, losing fight. Last fall it was seen that
consumption had a strong grip upon
| him and in October he went to Kansas,
hoping that the change of climate
would benefit him. Instead of improv­
ing, however, he grew weaker and was
compelled to return home in a few
weeks. From that time on he fought
bravely for months against the disease |
but to no avail and he gradually grew |
weaker until the end came peacefully
Saturday.
Ned C. Drake was born in Quincy,
Michigan, 27 years ago the 18th of last
September. He was the eldest child
and only son of Charles and Lottie •
Drake, who with his two sisters, survive 1
him.
His demise occurred June 19, 1909, at
the family home on Fulton street, where
for many months, loving hearts and
willing hands strove to make more |
gentle the last days of the patient,
sufferer.
He fraternalized with Rathbun Lodge
No. 167, Quincy Encampment No. 159, I
Independent Order of Odd Fellows;with ,
the Spanish War Veterans’ Association, |
and was for a few years, a member of
the Coldwater Light Guard Infantry. 1
In 1898 he was among the thirteen 1
; young men who enlisted from this vil- I

X
Infantry, on
eventful journey to
: Tampa, Florida, and it was while |
m camped there, in the midst of mud and ■
rain, that he, like many others, first |
became sick. However, he recovered
sufficiently to accompany his regiment
to Fernandina, where in the course of
time, a furlough was procured and he
returned home in a much weakened I
and emaciated condition. He again
entered the service in June, 1899, at De­
troit, but upon reaching Fort Sheridan
he was discharged on the allegation of
physical unfitness. With little ques■ tion, it was while camped in the fever

laden thickets and swamps of Florida
that the first inroads were gained by
------- the insidious disease, which in time
claimed him.
Last December, it became evident I
that the tentacles of his fateful malady I
- were gripping him with relentless ||

zz severity, and upon the advice of friends, I
^e concluded to apply for a pension, q
His comrades and physicians did all
-/possible to expedite matters in his

11 A L R E interest, but the department was too ]'
“■pate in recognizing his claim.
Though only a boy when in the set- j
vice of his country, yet in the soldierly j
duty and loyalty to his comrades, Ne J
C. Drake was as true a soldier as ey &gt; I
marched to the beat of drums or the ,
sound of fife.
May he rest in peace, unmindful of
the summer's heat or the winter's blast,
under the protecting folds of his
country's flag which, floating in silent
eloquence o'er him, proclaims the
noblest sentiment that ever graced the
silence of a tomb.
The funeral was held from the home
on south Fulton street Tuesday after­
noon at 3 o’clock and was one of the
most largely attended and most impres­
sive held here for some time. In addi­
tion to the large concourse of friends
who gathered to pay the last tribute to
the departed, there was present in a
body the Quincy lodge of I. O. O. F., of
which the deceased was a prominent
member, and about fifteen SpanishAmerican war veterans from Coldwater
and this place, most of whom were his
comrades in the service. The body of
Odd Fellows was one of the largest ever
assembled here, seventy-eight members
lieing in line.
Rev. A. L. .Murry, rector of the
Episcopal church at Coldwater, had
charge of the services at the house.
Music was furnished by the following
quartet: Miss Mabie Jones, Mrs. H. J.
Williams. E. K. Pearce and Theo B.
Ganong. Interment was made in Lake­
cemetery and the services at the
were in charge of the Odd Felwhen, with their impressive ritual
all that was mortal of Ned C. Drake
was hud to rest in beautiful Lakeview,
The following relatives from out q
town attended the funeral: Mr. an',
Mrs. Ed. Whaley and Mr. and M&gt;/
Peter Whaley, of Coldwater, and Mi
Chas. Harrigan, of Racine, Wiseonsi®

After a week of rain and oold wind.discouarging to those in charge of Decora| tion Day services, Thursday, May 30th,
I dawned a little cloudy in the early
morning but warmer, and before 7

the warm sunlight was flooding the

I was at its loveliest, as if vieing with
humanity in the appropriate observance
of this sacred day.
Owing to the unsettled state of the

                <text>This volume serves as a commemorative record of the Grand Army of the Republic, C. O. Loomis Post No. 2, located in Quincy, Michigan. It offers a brief historical overview of the Post's founding and activities, alongside a complete roster of its members. At the heart of the book are the individual memorial records—each entry honoring a member of the Post with biographical details, military service information, and personal reflections. Compiled with care and respect, this work preserves the legacy of the men who served in the Union forces during the Civil War and later came together in fellowship and remembrance through the G.A.R.</text>
