Major Jarvis Post, No. 12 
Claremont

Organized: 7 July 1868

The first Post of this name began with 21 charter members, and had 110 Civil War veterans enlisted when it disbanded in May of 1872. It was reorganized on 29 June 1880, retaining the same name and number. Their meetings were held in a hall in the Oscar J Brown block, until it was destroyed by fire in 1887, and all the Jarvis Post material was lost. When the Union block was built in the same place, the GAR Hall occupied the third floor.
