With its rolling hills, Barrington reminded J. William Bill Braithwaite of his native Connecticut, according to his wife, Dyllis.
That was in 1955, when Braithwaite decided to settle in the Barrington area permanently after moving to Illinois for a one-year teaching fellowship at the Northwestern University School of Law.
Braithwaite would go on to have a permanent impact on the region, serving as attorney for the village and several surrounding communities and working to preserve the area s rural character.
