Joseph "Joe" Baringer served in the Army (101st Airborne Division) from 1941 to 1945. Interviewed by Pattie Johnston on October 1, 2007, Baringer talks about his experiences during the Second World War. Baringer was born on February 21, 1918, in New Paris, Indiana. Baringer attended the University of Indiana in Wilmington and graduated with a business degree in 1940. He was drafted into the Army on April 9, 1941. Between 1941 and 1943, Baringer spent time at Camp Shelby in Hattiesburg, MS and Fort Bragg, CA. In 1943, Baringer deployed to Liverpool, England. While waiting to enter France, Baringer played the trumpet for his company's dance band. On June 7, 1944, the second day of the D-Day invasion, Baringer entered Normandy by glider. He talked about what it was like to be on the glider with eight other soldiers, and their trek from the Mourmelon-le-Grand quarters to Bastogne. Upon being rescued by General Patton during the Battle of the Bulge, Baringer was sent to Lake Geneva. He was there when the Germans surrendered and was instructed to march with the German prisoners. He talked about their interactions and discussed visiting Adolf Hitler's hideout, in which he and his fellow soldiers took some souvenirs, including salt and pepper shakers. Throughout his service, Baringer rose to the rank of Sergeant and received the Purple Heart. He was discharged at Fort Wayne, IN in September 1945. Baringer then worked at Standard Oil (Amoco) and spent the rest of his career there, retiring in 1978. He passed away on July 17, 2012, in Lawrence, Kansas.

Israel Bermudez and Rachel Lemus La Yarda Interview

Mexican Americans -- Social conditions -- Kansas -- Lawrence
Siblings Israel Bermudez and Rachel (Bermudez) Lemus were interviewed by Helen Krische in 2006 as part of an oral history project to document the La Yarda and Mexican-American communities in Lawrence, Kansas. La Yarda was a neighborhood of worker housing provided by the Santa Fe Railroad for Mexican-American railroad workers; located near the Kansas (Kaw) River, the neighborhood was largely destroyed by a major flood in 1951. The interview is split into two parts. Israel and Rachel grew up in East Lawrence; their family came to Lawrence in the late 1920s due to their father's work on the railroad. Israel and Rachel describe their family's journey from Mexico to Lawrence, their school experiences, and their experiences of discrimination and segregation as part of the Mexican-American community in Lawrence. Israel served in the military and shares some memories from that time. Rachel and Israel also describe daily life in their neighborhood, including work, childhood pasttimes, foodways, and funeral customs.
