Medal of Honor Legion.—On April 24, 1890, a meeting was held in Topeka, having for its object the uniting in an organization of all soldiers and sailors who received medals of honor while in the service of the United States. Every one who received such a mark of distinction was eligible for membership on payment of one dollar. A temporary organization was effected with M. A. Dillon as commander-in-chief, and Thomas M. Reed as adjutant. A circular was sent out on July 23, 1890, requesting all persons holding medals to become members, but the records do not show that the legion ever became a permanent institution.
