Living memorials honor late Elgin historians

The Elgin Oral History Project (EOHP) partnered with the city last month to honor two of the community’s most influential historians with a special memorial ceremony.

Dozens gathered Oct. 11 at Veterans Memorial Park to remember T. Berry and Sydna Arbuckle, who died last year. They were recognized for their years of service preserving Elgin’s history and their contributions to shaping the community’s understanding of its own past.
