Andrew Askins Post 479 American Legion, Steelton Pennsylvania

The following 83 men were members of American Legion Post 479, "Andrew Askins," Steelton, Pennsylvania. The data was obtained from a set of membership cards found in an abandoned house by the Friends of Midland organization. The cards are dated from 1927 to 1935, and are believed to be a relatively complete record of post membership during those years. No cards for the year 1928 were found with the originals, and it is not known if cards were kept during that year.

Originally formed to rescue and rehabilitate the historic Midland Cemetery, the Friends of Midland also have an interest in local African American history. They are very interested in hearing from family and descendants of the men listed here, and can be contacted at the following address:
