From the MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back."
1920, 100 Years Ago.
"At 9:30 o'clock this morning the police received a call from the New DeKalb restaurant that a stray baby had been there for an hour and no one had called to claim it.
"The baby was left at the restaurant and within ten minutes Mrs. T.H. Hobbs called up the police and asked if a baby had been seen. It turned out that the baby was that of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Duncan and it was soon returned to her."
Imagine if that happened today, and why was it that Mrs. T. H. Holmes called the police when it was someone else's baby?
Imagine what would happen if the same thing happed these day?
Must remember to leave the pasture gates closed as those babies can crawl faster than you think.
A Whole Lot More Than A Returned Baby, I'm Sure. Did They Round Up Stray Babies Back Then? --CootBaby
