Returning Soldier Starts a Shoe Repair Business

From the March 6, 2019, MidWeek  "Looking Back."

1919, 100 Years Ago.

"Joe Cohn, a returned soldier lad, who was in the service for seven months at Camp Jackson, South Carolina, (my grandfather's base) has recently been mustered out, and has started a shoe repair shop in the little building next to the Nehring Electrical Works on East Lincoln Highway in DeKalb.

"Cohn was a cobbler by trade when he entered the service, and was in business in Earlville, and when mustered out, thought DeKalb looked good to him and is getting his share of the business at this time."
