From the May 3, 2017, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back."
1917, 100 Years Ago.
"This is an epochal day for the DeKalb Woman's Club. After about five years of hard work and planning the big project of the club whereby its members bought and paid for the Annie's Woods, one of the prettiest places in DeKalb vicinity and a favorite recreation spot.
"This afternoon the board of the Woman's Club met with mayor P.N. Joslyn and Judge McEwen to deed over the woods to the city."
And, Annie's Woods is still there, right by the Kishwaukee River and the eastern edge of Northern Illinois University.
Thank You Ladies!! We're Still Enjoying It!! --DaCoot
