Cissna Park, Illinois In Review - 1930: Edited from "The Cissna Park News"

By Donald G Enz

Cissna Park is a small town in central Illinois in the center of farm country. It still has the character of the old days when neighbors helped each other out of hard times, or would just have them over for dinner. During 1930 Cissna Park was not hit as hard by the stock market crash as the cities because the population hadn't switched over to the mechanized world with farm tractors and cars, although the change was beginning. Instead, most of the population was still canning the vegetables and fruits from their gardens and orchards. They were self-sufficient, but not rich. The book is edited from "The Cissna Park News", a weekly paper, and I selected articles that would be of historical interest and also relevant to today. I also included as much genealogy related material as possible so researchers could follow their ancestors from this area on a week by week basis.
