From the May 29, 2021, Daily Herald (Chicago Suburbs) Antioch to dedicate monument for War of 1812 soldier."
A monument for Antioch's oldest-known soldier, Captain Leverett Barnes, who served in the War of 1812, will be dedicated at 10:30 a.m., Monday, May 31, at Hillside Cemetery, Route 173 and Hillside Avenue.

I had no idea we had a War of 1812 veteran buried near us.
