This grew out of my Down Da Road I Go Blog which now has become primarily what I'm doing and music. I was getting so much history in it, I spun this one off and now have World War II and War of 1812 blogs which came off this one. The Blog List below right has all the way too many blogs that I write.

Measles Delays the Paper in DeKalb in 1918
From the May 2, 2018, MidWeek "Looking Back."
1918, 100 Years Ago.
"The present extensive epidemic of measles is responsible for considerable trouble in delivery of The Chronicle.
"Last night one of the boys notified the office at four o'clock that he would be unable to carry his route on account of measles. After calling some 15 or 20 boys, a lad was found who delivered the route, but of course, missed some of our customers."
Newspaper Boys? Do we still have them?
