Col E E Cross Post, No 16
Lancaster

From the History of Coos County (pg 357):
A charter for this post was received from the State Encampment on 16 Jan 1869. After a few years the charter was returned and the organization ceased to exist. On 1 Nov 1879, the present post was organized under a new charter with the same name and number.

This Post was named after Lancaster native Edward Ephraim Cross, Colonel of the 5th New Hampshire Infantry. He was mortally wounded at the Battle of Gettysburg, and died on 3 July 1863. 
At right is a page from the History of Coos County, listing those veterans who were members of the Col Cross Post at the time of its printing (1888). Clicking on the icon in bottom right corner will bring page to full screen.

The Col E E Cross Post also had an auxiliary Woman's Relief Corps, No 29, which was organized on 21 Sept 1886.
