Nick R 8A also 100 Ahrens, 53-J. Calif. Irsfmieral took place from St. Catholic chureh at 3:00 o'clock afternoon, the remains been followed to their last resting place in St, Mary's cemetery by an unusually large gathering of relatives, friends and acquaintances, some of whom had come from quite a distance to pay their last respects to tikis respected citizen. " v - Traded With Indiana I- f During the early days of hlSfCSidence on the old homestead many noteworthy occurrences took place ' and these chiefly with the Indians. It was interesting indeed to sit and listen to the deceased while he told of his tradings and visits with the red men, all of which, he was ever happy to relate, were unusually friendly af- . fairs. Among the instances he oftimes re- : called a time when he and his wife were attracted by the barking of the ; family dog and looking from the window of their little home they saw the canine in hot pursuit of a deer closely followed by several Indians. After - several unsuccessful attempts to kill the deer by the aid of their bows and arrows, the river was finally reached, where the animal gave up and was killed. The red men immediately set about to skin the deer, took the hide with them and then left the meat with the Huemann family, where they informed the white folks that they ; would call for same the following morning. The Indians returned to . the Huemann home next morning and /; there displayed their kindly feeling " , towards the white family by leaving a good sized portion of the deer with than. Mr. Huemann also recalled many instances where he gave the Indians corn in exchange for favors * • that had been granted him. At that . time the Indians had their headquar- .' ters on what is now known as Bald Knob, Pistskee Lake, altho on var- . ious occasions large numbers of wig- . v/amr, were seen in the vicinity of is now Howell's Villa. j*. , Was School Director M During the administrations ck wen. Fegers and Mehring -at St. John's - chureh, Jehnsburg, he also acted as school director at that place and in , « this capacity, like the many other places of trust he had held during . life, he fulfilled his charge with honor , to himself and perfect satisfaction to the people in the community served, Was Also Surveyor Mr. Huemann was also an expert ; wirveyor and it has often been said ; of him that he knew every foot of ; ground in McHenry township. Most . of the land in the vicinity of Johnsburg as well as much of that lying within the corporate limits of the village of McHenry was surveyed by the - deceased. He and the late George G*l?e» also one of our pioneers and ,, who lnn» pince has passed on, suryears back, tkis occurred about the time that his son, N. A. Huemann, purchased the site upon which his jewelry store stands. At that time some difficulty was experienced in locating: the line of the lot he had purchased and after a few days he related the trouble to his father. The elder gentleman came over to the West Side with him one morning and within a very short time the stake, left there during the original survey made many years previous, was found beneath about five or six inches of soil. « Was Aasenor For Fifteen Years For fifteen years Mr. Huemann acted as assessor for the town of McHenry and only on two occasions during this long period was he opposed by another candidate seeking office. He was at that time, without question, the best informed man on land and lots lying within the borders of the town of McHenry to be found in the entire county and many a time, even since his retirement f't>m activity, has he been called upon by leading members of the McHenry county bar for information along these lines. .Highly Esteemed By Lawyers No man in McHenry county has ever been held in higher esteem by circuit court and county judges as well j as the members of the McHenry county bar than John Huemann and his visits to the court house at, Woodstock, which in earlier days were quite frequent, were greatly enjoyed by the judges, lawyers and office holders of the time, a few of whom are still living. His dealings with them were always honorable and fair and many were the people of this community who went to him for advice when trouble overcame them. This was always granted willingly, most courteously and generally without compensation. A Gord Neighbor and Citiaen During the years that he has resided in McHenry township and our midst Mr. Huemann has proven himself a citizen of the highest type and by his death a noble and useful life has aided. ajid girls' race, for will be awarded there will be 4ark, Hunt!
