The year was 1925. Television was invented. The first female governor in the United States was elected and America was right in the middle of the decade dubbed the “Roaring 20’s”.

There was another event of local significance that took place on January 27th, 1925, that has brought joy and happiness to a Jackson Parish family and associated friends for an entire century.

That was the day France Kramer was born.

On Monday, a celebration was had at Forest Haven Nursing Home in Jonesboro as Ms. Kramer celebrated her 100th birthday with members of her family alongside.
