Mulharen O'Cain Post 3 of the Grand Army of the Republic (G.A.R.) was organized on March 23, 1883, in Eaton, Ohio. There were 42 charter members, and the first post commander was B. F. Davis. By 1915, the Post had 60 members. A related Women's Relief Corps No. 9 was founded on January 19, 1887, with 29 charter members and Mrs. Kate Coovert as president.
The records consist of one financial ledger, with entries dating between 1888 and 1895, and one color photograph, circa 2002, depicting what appears to be the Post's banner.
