The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.

DeKalb Joins Nation in Mourning for FDR
From the April 15, 2020, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back"
1945, 75 Years Ago.
"DeKalb joined the state and nation in mourning and prayer while funeral services were held for the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
"Announcement was made yesterday that the business houses in DeKalb would be closed from noon to 5 o'clock in conformance with the proclamation by Governor Dwight H. Green which proclaimed today as a day of mourning and prayer throughout the state and requested all business institutions, with the exception of those vital to public health, safety and the war effort, to close during that period."
FDR died April 12, 1945.
