Many men in St. Louis served in the Civil War. While some served in the Confederacy, most were part of the Union Army. After the war, Union veterans formed a fraternal organization called the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR). By 1890, the GAR had about 400,000 members and the veterans can be traced in the GAR annual reports and death rolls. St. Louis had about eight GAR posts, with approximately four hundred posts elsewhere in Missouri.

Original Civil War pension records are available at the National Archives in Washington, D.C. You can order the pension files online at the National Archives Military website.

This roster of the Harry P. Harding Post No. 107 as of 1901 has been indexed. The names of the veterans, their unit(s), occupations, and addresses are included in the index. If the member had already passed away, their date of death is listed.
