A Carload of Coal for the Less Fortunate in DeKalb in 1916


From the December 28, 2016, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois)  "Looking Back."

1916, 100 Years Ago.

"According to plans that are now formed the carload of coal that has been donated to the Good Fellow cause for distribution among DeKalb's less fortunate people, will be on the track Friday."

Of course, coal was the major way homes were heated back then.
