From the January 18, 2017, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back."
1942, 75 Years Ago.
"Mrs. Emily Fox, living at 809 North Twelfth Street, does not get about much but she is doing her share in winning the war. Despite the fact that she is past 80 years of age, she is one of the most active Red Cross knitters in the city.
"She is setting a pace that many of the knitters of less than half her age will find difficult to maintain. Mrs. Fox is now working on her 31st Red Cross sweater. That is a record which should be the envy of many a Red Cross knitter.
A Home Front Hero. --GreGen
