Barrington Wreaths Across America™ Event Nurtures Year-round Honor

Did you know there is a growing database of Barrington Veteran profiles on the Barrington Area Library website?

As part of the Wreaths Across America mission to Remember the fallen, Honor those who serve, and Teach the next generation the value of freedom, members of Signal Hill Chapter, NSDAR, have compiled and published more than 300 profiles of the 800 Veterans buried at Evergreen Cemetery. Using information gathered from available sources like obituaries, census records, and newspaper articles, a record of honor for these military servicemen and servicewomen now “lives and grows” on the library website, to educate and benefit families and genealogists beyond the Barrington Community.

This database grows by 80 to 100 profiles each year. If you wish to provide information for a profile of your Veteran relative, please email a DAR representative at signalhillnsdar@gmail.com. We hope you will join us in honoring all identified Veterans at Evergreen Cemetery on Wreaths Across America Day, December 14, 2024.
