In World War II, 366 men and women from the Cliffside area served in the armed forces. As they joined or were drafted, their names were inscribed on a bronze plaque that hung for many years just outside the Post Office entrance in the old Mill Office building. That plaque now stands beside the R.R. Haynes Memorial Clock Tower at the site of the Haynes homeplace.
Those names are listed here. Those who did not survive the war are listed as links. Click on each link to display a news account of the man's service career and obituary.
