NAPERVILLE HOMECOMING 1917 May 29th to June 1st 1917 This
amazing commemorative book for the
Naperville Homecoming 1917 was donated to this project by Pete
Slowly. I am so grateful, and I'm sure many people will benefit
from the information and images in this book. Thank you, Pete!
This will be better organized in the future, but I'm going to start scanning and uploading photographs as time permits. Virtually every home and business in town is pictured, as are the fire department, police department, city officials, and other groups. I will be happy to do a lookup if your family lived in Naperville in 1917. |
