1895-1918 Our Willie the inscription on William Barron's grave tells a story all in it's own. One of a young man lost too soon and a family who sacrificed so much to defend the country they loved.  William and his brother Edward were some of the first young men in Tonawanda to enlist in WW1 in 1917. They were also some of the first Marines to land in France. They were proud American's and ready to defend the nation.  Both of the Barron brothers spent months in the trenches of France. Together they experienced the horrors of some of the bloodiest battles of the war. They always took the time to write home. One letter tells of the brother's guarding German Prisoners. Through it all they must have been thankful to have each other near. They were wounded around the sam time. Edward lost an arm to enemy fire. William was shot in the shoulder and his lung.   Both brother's found themselves recovering in the hospital at the same time. They remained strong and looked forwar...

       Otto Hintz was called "The man nobody knew too much about". Even now with access to so many records there is only basic info when it comes to his life before moving to the Tonawandas. He was born In Germany in 1842. That's about all we know.            In 1963 it was decided that during a memorial day service at City Cemetery that a rebel flag would be placed at Otto;s grave. It was such a big deal they had A representative of the governor of North Carolina come for the ceremony. A big deal of it was made of giving this man proper representation of his service.... but had they?      How could he had been a member of GAR if he had fought for the South?  The Grand Army Of The Republic was for Union veterans only. Could he have been captured and switched sides? It did happen... The answers were always right there in the census and military records of Private Hintz.       Somewhere, someone...
