My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.

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.
