The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.

Spring Grove Cemetery in Delavan, Wisconsin: His Parents and Older Brother Buried There


In the last post, I mentioned that Corp. Raymond Barker (USMC) was buried in Spring Grove Cemetery, but the article did not say where that cemetery was.  We live in Spring Grove, Illinois, around 40 miles from Delavan, so possibly he was buried here.

But, using Find-A-Grave, I found Spring Grove Cemetery in Delavan, Wisconsin.

Raymond's father, HarleyClaude Barker (1882-1959) is buried there as is his wife, Hazel (unknown-1971) and older brother Elbridge Barker (Unknown-1979).  Older sister, Velma B. Barker Gibas (1910-2002) is buried in Denver, Colorado.
