Looking Back to 1915: Bringing Electricity to Waterman, Illinois

From the March 19, 2016, Mid Week (DeKalb County, Illinois)

1916, 100 Years Ago.

"For a long time Waterman has been feeling the need for electricity for lighting and power purposes and now it begins to look like Mayor Wiltberger and his council will soon be able to interest the big companies in extending their lines to that town."

Something we take for granted these days, but not so back then.
