In keepinng with this past Monday's Memorial Day, the local McHenry County newspaper, the Northwest Herald, ran a list of county residents who died in the service of their country in all wars since the Civil War.
The list was supplied by the McHenry County Historical Society.
The most soldiers died during the Civil War, almost as long as all the other wars combined.
G.S. Ainsworth
J.J. Alderman
C. Anderson
A. Ayers
S. Bacon
R.D. Bailey
N. Baldwin
S. Baldwin
A. Barnes
C.C. Barnes

R. Barnes
W. Bassett
J. Betke
D. Beck

The war had to be particularly hard on the Baldwin and Barnes families. Four Barnes died while in service.
This takes care of a little over 2 lines of names out of 33!!
