Revolutionary War veteran Honored in McHenry County, Il.-- Part 4

The plaques the SAR put up at the cemeteries tell the name of the American Revolution veteran and an account of their service. /// Franz Herder, the vice president of the northern region of the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) said: "All of these men, who died for our country are all over the state, and most people don't even know it. This is a way, in terms of public education, to recognize the sacrifices of those who fought for our country." //// Tim Evers, sexton of the Linn-Hebron Cemetery presented the SAR with a flag that had flown over the cemetery which also has Civil War and World War II veterans. //// The Linn-Hebron Cemetery also has five War of 1812 veterans buried there: Daniel Cornue, died 1876; John Begun, d. 1850; John A. Ehle, d. 1871; A. Clary, 1867 and Stephen Wickham. //// The cemetery is also the final resting place of Elmer Charles Bigelow, a World War II Medal of Honor recipient. //// --Brock-Perry
