Illinois' Centennial in 1918 in DeKalb County

From the May 23, 2018, MidWeek "Looking Back."

1918, 100 Years Ago.

"Historic spots all over Illinois will be marked appropriately during the Celebration of State Centennial this year.

"DeKalb County will mark the place where the first white child was born in the county, the spot where Lincoln and Jefferson Davis met during the Black Hawk War, the place where the first election took place in the county."

I did not know that Jefferson Davis and Abraham Lincoln met each other in DeKalb County, Illinois.

And, Now We Are in the Bicentennial of Illinois.  --Cooter
