Barrington Township Union and Center Cemeteries

Union Cemetery

 Photograph above by Michelle Safirstein, May, 2004. 

 Located on the south side of Algonquin Road (Route 62), ½ mile east of Bateman Road, Barrington Hills. Barrington Township, Cook County, Illinois. Maintained by Barrington Township. Entry through the locked gate on Route 62 may be obtained by calling the Barrington Township office at (847)381-5632. This cemetery is closed for burials.

History
Henry Smith deeded 1.03 acres from his farm for the cemetery. The original deed was recorded on July 5, 1866, for a sum of $1.00. Barrington Union Cemetery Association was formed in September 1866. At one time there was a Lithuanian Cemetery Society. In 1963, a 20-foot easement was added. In 1979, according to Opal Helm, there were about 100 graves. Very little upkeep was done over the years, except for the Helm and Jackson plots. Vandals and the encroaching forest destroyed many graves. In 1983, the Barrington Township trustees took over the maintenance of the cemetery. Some graves date from the Civil War and bear Barrington pioneer names (e.g., Freeman, Helm, and Jackson).
