New Haven had many who served in World War I and two we know of killed:

In World War II we had many who answered the call. We have a book out on the World War II Veterans that can be purchased at the New Haven Town Hall in the County Clerks office for $15.00. We were fortunate that all our P.O.W’s came home. We had one boy who grew up in New Haven but had moved away was killed in France. He is buried here in New Haven. For a small town we have answered the call for all military engagements; Korea, Vietnam, Peacetime Military, Grenada, Panama, Desert Storm, Persian Gulf and Iraq. As of now only World War II has been put in book form to sell, others will be done as time goes on.
