Cemetery walk to be tribute to those who served in World War I

The Dundee Township Historical Society will present its Cemetery Walk from 1 to 3 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 15.

Tours of the West Cemetery will begin at the museum at 426 Highland Ave. in West Dundee. A $5 donation is requested.

In recognition of the 100th anniversary of the U.S. involvement in World War I, the focus of the walk is a tribute to the men and women from Dundee Township who served in "The Great War."

Those to be portrayed are a Red Cross nurse, two veterans, the parents of a boy who died in France from wounds sustained in battle, the story of the Gold Star Mothers and a brief history of the introduction of aviation in wartime.

The society would welcome any information and/or pictures regarding Dundee Township veterans in an effort to fill in some of the gaps created when records were destroyed by fire.

A new museum exhibit has been created in honor of Dundee Township veterans.
