War monument makes its way from India to East Liverpool

EAST LIVERPOOL — After learning 157 American Revolutionary War patriots buried in Columbiana County are without a monument to honor them, Steve Barlow, president of the Mahoning Valley Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution, made it a mission to have a monument for those he refers to as the forgotten patriots.

“We have monuments for all the other wars, as it should be, but we have forgotten these patriots,” Barlow previously said. “After the revolution these patriots came west to our county and settled here, building the foundation of all we enjoy today.”
