On its Facebook site, Friends of the West Chicago City Museum featured photos and stories of three West Chicago residents who lost their lives in a war. They were William Currier, Civil War casualty in 1861; Leon “Bud” Richardt, World War II casualty, 1942; and Ted Katsoolias, Korean War casualty, 1950, plus photos from the 1961 Memorial Day parade and ceremony at Oakwood Cemetery.
