From the January 18, 2017, MidWeek "Looking Back."
1917, 100 Years Ago.
"According to the estimates of the Washington census bureau which are just out there were 9,482 persons in DeKalb on the first day of July of last year.
"The census estimates is supposed to be pretty accurate as we feel that DeKalb is well along to the 10,000 class. If we could fond some way to increase our population to get into the five figure class we would be a real metropolis."
DeKalb's 2010 population was 43,862, so guess they made the 10,000 with room to spare.
