In this 1938 Christmas scene captured by Naperville photographer E.F. Lueben, John and Edwin Eigenbrodt play with Tinkertoys as their parents, Harold and Mildred Eigenbrodt, indulge in a little book reading. According to online records, Harold Eigenbrodt was a professor at Naperville's North Central College. He died in 1958 at age 60 and is buried in Naperville Cemetery along with his wife, who lived for 35 more years. Mildred became the dean of women at North Central after her husband's death and would later become an English professor at the American College for Women in Cairo, Egypt. Edwin went on to become a medical doctor and his brother was a minister and college professor, records show. (Naperville Heritage Society)

This postcard, produced to be mailed to family and friends, features the 6th-grade class at Naperville's Ellsworth School exercising outdoors in the schoolyard in 1923. It's hard to know what gym clothes would have looked like in the 1920s but it seems unlikely students would be wearing ties and party dresses had they not been aware their photo was being taken for a special purpose. Ellsworth School, now just for elementary students, is still located at 145 N. Sleight St. (Naper Settlement/Naperville Heritage Society)

The first snow of the season was wet and beautiful as it fell Thursday morning on Naperville's Riverwalk. While short-lived — forecasts call for temperatures in the 40s Friday and Saturday and possibly as high as 50 Sunday — it was very real for anyone traveling by car or foot Thursday, with slick roads, foggy conditions and sidewalks slippery enough to need salt.
