100 years ago this week

What was going on 100 years ago this week? The Farmer put out two editions this week: the first on Nov. 11, 1918, to announce that World War I had ended, and the second to announce that the parish fair was back on. 

Here are lots of personal and society news, obituaries, and a birth or two.
