BARRINGTON CENTENNIAL PHOTOGRAPHS, 1963 | |  |
In 1963 Barrington celebrated its 100 year anniversary. Mildred Reuter and her sister Esther Reuter, Barrington residents, were in attendance. Mildred was now Mrs. Fred Jaquet. These photographs were taken by Fred in 1963 during the Centennial Parade. The photographs were donated to our permanent collection by Karen Amlgrim, daughter of Ester Reuter Wendt.
