1	Title:	Cleveland Light Artillery Association Records
	Creator:	Cleveland Light Artillery Association
	Dates:	1856-1922
	Abstract:	The Cleveland Light Artillery Association is a Cleveland, Ohio, association of former members of the Cleveland Light Artillery. The association was formed in 1870 and was composed primarily of veterans of the Civil War. It met annually in reunion to pay tribute to one another and to honor deceased members. It disbanded in 1922. The Cleveland Light Artillery was originally organized in 1839 by 9 members of the Cleveland Grays gun squad, an independent military organization made up of young men chosen from the area's elite families. It was named the Cleveland Light Artillery in 1846, when it was detached from the Grays, and served as an independent artillery militia service until 1860, when it became part of Battery A of the 1st Regiment of the Ohio Volunteer Light Artillery, led by Col. James Barnett. When the Civil War broke out, the Cleveland Light Artillery did an initial 3-month tour of duty from April-July 1861, and was the first Cleveland unit to experience battle (Phillippi) in the war and the first to suffer a casualty. The collection consists of minute books of annual meetings (1870-1922), including lists of members and account records, a book of memorial tributes and biographies of deceased members, a register book of members, including newspaper clippings, and miscellaneous correspondence, invitations, acknowledgments, and locations of burials in Cleveland's Lakeview Cemetery. J.F. Adams was a long-time secretary-treasurer for the association.
