JOHN KELL POST, NO. 241
The Post was chartered June 29, 1882, and is located at Franklin. It is named for Colonel John Kell, late of the Second Ohio Volunteer Infantry. Sprung from a line of soldiers, having himself been in the Mexican war, of a high spirit and dauntless courage, John Kell was fitted to be a leader of volunteers of ’61. Enrolling Company F, First Ohio, for three months’ service, with a pledge “to be in the struggle to its end,” he joined early friends in organizing the Second Ohio Volunteer Infantry, three years, becoming its lieutenant-colonel. His service ending with his fall at Stone River, summed up the best results of a strong, resolute manhood.
The following is taken from the Post charter, is the list of charter members: J. M. Dachtler, L. Stockman, Charles S. Mickle, M. W. Earhart, James A. Miller, Joseph E. Decker, W. H. Robinson, E. L. Bone, E. Bridge, H. Y. Rush, Joseph M’Carty, I. N. Snell, J. C. Brown, J. B. Woodward, J. H. Thompson, A. S. Reeder, W. W. Decker, John M’Nellis, B. F. Archdeacon, John Sheedy, Ed. M.
