Historian Nanette Napoleon
Cemetery historian Nanette Napoleon took us to a plot for the Grand Army of the Republic, an organization of Civil War Union veterans whose motto was Fraternity, Charity, and Loyalty.
In 1882, the Capt. George W. DeLong Post No. 45 of the GAR was established in Hawai‘i, except there weren’t enough members for an independent post, so it was attached to the California GAR.
The organization supported voting rights for Black veterans and lobbied Congress to establish veterans’ pensions, among other things.
Today, 35 veterans and four wives are buried in the plot in a mauka corner near the entrance to O‘ahu Cemetery.
