Description: Fourteen members of the Grand Army of the Republic. ca. 1915. The men are numbered but no identification key is provided. The Grand Army of the Republic was one of the largest and most influential veterans organizations to be established following the Civil War. It was founded on April 6, 1866, by Benjamin Stephenson, who intended to form an organization that would provide veterans with political influence and opportunities to meet socially. Any veteran who was honorably discharged from the United States Army, Navy, or Marine Corps qualified for membership. National membership in the organization peaked in 1890 at a little over 409,000, and membership in the state of Ohio peaked at 49,011 in that same year. The GAR continued to operate until 1956, when the final member (Albert Woolson) died at the age of 109. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Photograph taken during the demolition of the third Zanesville Y-Bridge, 1900. In 1812 a charter was granted to Moses Dillon and others to construct a toll bridge that spanned the confluence of the Licking and Muskingum Rivers, connecting Zanesville with Natchez and West Zanesville. A walled, oak-planked bridge with a central pier where the forks of a "Y" met was opened to the public in 1814. A makeshift structure, this first bridge (1814-1818) needed constant repair and collapsed into the river in 1818. A second bridge (1819-1832) was built on the same site of stronger construction, but was condemned thirteen years later when twelve-inch-thick ice in the river weakened the superstructure. During renovation work in 1832, a section of the bridge collapsed, killing three men, one of whom was Ebenezer Buckingham, an owner of the bridge. The third Y-Bridge (1832-1900) stood until 1900 when it was demolished. On January 4, 1902, the fourth Y-Bridge (1902-1979) was opened for foot passengers, and ten days later, for streetcars and wagons. In 1979, the fourth bridge was judged unsafe, and the fifth and current bridge opened on November 9, 1984. View on Ohio Memory.
