Seek informaton on G.A.R. Gettysburg Circle in Spokane, WA.
Sarah Griffith died 1936 in Spokane, WA and her obituary states she was a member.
Did a woman have to have a family member in the Civil War to be a member? If so, I have found no records that her 2nd husband Lorenzo John Griffith was a veteran.
Perhaps her 1st husband or her father were veterans?
