From the November 22, 2017, MidWeek  "Looking Back.'

1917, 100 Years Ago.

"Life on the farm has been revolutionized these days by electricity.  The use of electric current has totally changed the methods of existence on the farm and where is this seen better than right here in DeKalb county.

"William Rich, one of DeKalb county's prominent farmers living about four and a half miles northwest of DeKalb has just completed the electrification of his farm establishment and is mighty proud of his equipment."
