With its rolling hills, Barrington reminded J. William Bill Braithwaite of his native Connecticut, according to his wife, Dyllis.

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.
