The Dale McGinnis Post 686 of Bellefontaine, Ohio, was officially installed with a celebration marking a significant moment in local and state history. The founding officers of the post were Clayton Rhea, Commander; Henry Howard Artis, 1st Vice Commander; Charles Hassel, 2nd Vice Commander; Lewis Ratleff, Adjutant; John M. Hassel, Finance Officer; Herbert Ratleff Sr., Sergeant at Arms; Robert Hassel, Service Officer; Earle Hicks Sr., Chaplain; and Ernest Carter Sr., Post Historian.
The remaining charter members included Joseph Johnson Sr., Leroy Moss, Covel Breaston, Melvin Rockhold Sr., Clayton Scott, William Breaston, Harry Jackson, James Hassel, Vernon Davis, and Miss Wilmetta “Bae” Hassel of
Bellefontaine. Additional members included Willis Bayless of West Mansfield and Alvin Johnson of DeGraff.
The post met on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month and played an important role in the years following World War II and during the Civil Rights Movement. The Dale McGinnis Post 686 disbanded on April 30, 1980, and was largely forgotten in the years that followed. However, without the dedication and leadership of these men and women, Bellefontaine, Ohio would not have had its first Black American Legion post.
