"YHURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1987 John C. Barrett Drowned While on Vacation Trip On Sunday, Aug. 29th, one of the largest funcrals ever held© in this vicinity marked the passing of John Carolan Barrett, seventeen year cld son of Mr. and Mrs. Herbert C. Barâ€" rett of Prairie View, Ill. John was drowned last Wednesâ€" day afternoon at Franklin Lake in morthern Wisconsin, while on a vaâ€" cation trip with his father, his uncle, Harold Barrett, of Desplaines, and his friend, Gordon James of Liberâ€" tyville. They were located at a lake near Minocqua and the boys had been invited by three high school friends of John‘s to spend the day at Franklin Lake. In the late afterâ€" moon, they all decided to take a boat out â€"a short distance from shore and dive from it. Shortly afterwards John and two others started to swim to shore while those remaining were to bring back the boat. On the way in, John called to the friend nearest to him, but was gone from sight when the boy turned around. He never came up. ‘The boys immediately started to dive in search for him. But all efâ€" forts were futile. The body was reâ€" covered four and oneâ€"half hours later. It is believed that John was seized by the fatal cramp which so often attacks even the best of swimâ€" mers. The sorrowful group, that had started out so full of plans for a pleasant vacation returned on Thursday. Mr. and Mrs. John Barâ€" rett, the grandparents, who were visiting friends in Princeton, IIl., when they received the sad news, also returned on Thursday. The funeral, on Sunday, was held at the home and was attended by friends and relatives, numberingâ€"at least 700 people, gathered to pay their respects to this splendid young â€" man. â€"Not only â€"the â€"young people but the older ones included John in their cirele of closest friendship. ‘The services were held in the house and carried to the hundreds who stood or were seated in the,yard by a public address sysâ€" tem. ‘The beautiful lawn and surâ€" rounding flowerâ€"beds created a setâ€" ting and an impressive atmosphere that will be long: remembered by those who attended. The Reverend E. Leslie Shaw, former . pastor of the ‘Wheeling Presbyterian church, conducted the services. He was assisted by the Rev. Donald Morrison. A quartet of young men, assisted by Mrs: Ralph Dugan,. contributed several beautiful musical numbers. <This group of people came from Sugar Grove, Ill., where the Senior Barâ€" retts lived before coming to this vicinity. It was‘a loving tributé dn their part for John was well known and liked in Sugar Grove among the sons and grandsons of his grandparents‘> old friends. The active pall bearers were, Wilâ€" liam Fischer and John‘ Lorry of Highland Park, Myron Hatge, Donâ€" ald Welflin and Robert Bingham of ‘Wheeling and Gordon James of Libertyville. A large number of honorary pallbearers, selected from his friends and classmates, acted as a guard of honor and carried the numerous floral pieces which had banked the walls of the home. In the short service, at Ridgeâ€" wood cemetery, the Rev. Shaw held wp John‘s life as an example to be followed by his young friends. John was a very active young person, making friends everywhere by takâ€" ing part in many local and school activities. His primary interest was in music which he had chasen to follow in his college course. He was planning to attend Monmouth college this fall. John was an acâ€" complished musician, playing five musical instruments and also studyâ€" ing vocal music. At . Deerfieldâ€" Shields high school from which he was graduated last June, he took a leading part in many of the musiâ€" cal activities, being a member of the school band, school orchestra and school chorus. During the past year he was baritone ‘soloist of the club. He Wankegan and Webster Avenues â€" _ Hig \ GOING AwWAY OVER THE WEEKâ€"END? Yuvmmymmmmm Ermine Cleaners, Incâ€" LABOR DAY OTTO F. FISHER, Pres. James, another one of the Skokie Valley boys, spend this last sumâ€" t-cvith John working on the RFM. Aside from his social and school activities, John Barrett did not neglect the spiritual side of life. He seldom missed a service at . the Wheeling church of which he was a member. For a youth of only seventeen years, he leaves a life story that is rarely equalled as can be proven by the tributes of floral pieces and words of condolence and sympathy that were extended by the commuâ€" nity to his sorrowing parents, and grandparents. > John was an only son and an only grandson and nothing had been deâ€" nied him in love, affection, comforts and pleasures. Possibly no young man in this vicinity had had such a brilliant future planned for him. These are some of the reasons that make his passing so hand to reconâ€" cile. But the scripture says "Some day we‘ll understand." Mrs. Theresa Baumann Aged Resident Dies Mrs. Theresa Bauman, 87, died Friday morning at 4 o‘clock at the home of her daughter Mrs. James J.
