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.

After World War I, 1919: 100 Years Ago
From the March 20, 2019, MidWeek "Looking Back."
1919, 100 Years Ago.
** "Prof. John Adee, who is well known here as a Sycamore boy, and as a former and popular superintendent of the Sycamore schools, is one of 30 superintendents of schools selected by the government to go to France to teach the American soldiers."
** "Names of several returning heroines and heroes known in DeKalb were included in the lists today in the papers. Miss Celeste Firkins of Shabbona Grove and Miss Nellie R. Satter of Leland, who were with the Red Cross nurses of the Presbyterian unit, arrived on the Mauretania."
