Forest Park Christmas shopping boom and local obituaries
Ten years ago on December 13 1919 Forest Park shoppers stocked up with Christmas goods from local merchants. The era’s notices include the death of druggist Charles William Jacob at 7405 Madison Street, December 5 1919, at seventy, and various community updates such as births, society events, school activities, bank distributions to Christmas Savings Club members, and a petition to remove health officer Dr I L Carstenp pending village deliberation.
