A WWI Diary That Never Was

WWI Diary was to have brought you the whole of World War I as it was reported in the papers of the day, exactly 100 years later. For a year I blogged news leading up to the big war, thinking if there was any real interest regular readers would trickle in. They did not. Count: zero. So I stopped blogging the war news. For students of the time, 1914-1918 editions are available on the Web as thousands of individual articles via a Times service called Spiderbites.

Blew Himself Up with Dynamite.

New York Times 100 years ago today, May 1, 1913:
LADYSMITH, Wis., April 30.— Peter Fluri, a well-to-do farmer, killed himself with dynamite to-day. Placing a stick of the explosive on the ground, he lighted the fuse and lay on the charge. His body was blown into pieces.
