Jacob Haish postcards

Jacob Haish surely left his mark on DeKalb, and although many of his contributions and buildings may no longer stand, postcards from the area preserve the image and history.

These images of vintage postcards are used with permission from Susan White Pieroth and larger versions, as well as more DeKalb cards, can be seen on her page here: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~scwhite/postcards/DeKalb_Sycamore/
