1929 Honor Roll
This database indexes the 1929 publication, Roll of Honor, which
contains the locations of the burial places of soldiers, sailors, marines,
and army nurses who served in any of the wars of the United States and are
buried in Illinois. The database contains more than 72,000 names. The
General Assembly mandated in 1927 and 1929 that Illinois publish the Roll of
Honor as an aid to patriotic and veteran organizations honoring deceased
veterans on Memorial Day. The Grand Army of the Republic, United
Spanish-American War Veterans, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Disabled American
Veterans of the World War, and the 33rd Division War Veterans Association
were among the various organizations that gathered the information.
The database was created and donated to the Illinois State Archives by
Fred Delap of Kansas, Illinois. Delap, a volunteer with the Edgar County
Genealogical Society, has also indexed the names of Illinois veterans of the
War of 1812, Winnebago War, Black Hawk War, Mexican War, Civil War, and
Spanish-American War.
