Freund, one ot M0 township's early and highly lljiliwipifil residents, passed away at the home of his daughter, Mrs. A. G. Barbian, on Maple avenue about noon last Thursday, May 4, after an illness of more than a year in duration. The deceased was 84 years, 4 months and 6 days of *£• -at the time of his death. Mathias S. Freund, son of Stephen and Maria K. Freund, was born in Engeln, Kreis Mayen, Regirungs bexirk Coblenz, Rhfein Province, Germany, on December 28, 1837. At the age of twelve years, after finishing the grade school of his native country, he, accompanied by his parents, his sister, Barbara, aged five, brother, Joseph, aged two, grandmother, Anna K. Freund, his uncles, Peter Freund, a school teacher, and Nicholas Freund, a tanner by trade, emigrated to the United States. They entered upon the long journey on August 1, 1850, at New Wiel, by boat up the Rhine river to Amsterdam, Holland, then across the English channel to London, where they embarked on an English ocean sailing vessel. After a stormy voyage, during which the ship lost one of its masts, the craft finally anchored at New York city. From this point the tiresome trip was resumed via steam boat up the Hudson river to Albany, N. Y., thence by train to Buffalo, N. Y., from there by boat across the Great Lakes to Chicago, then by wagon to McHenry, arriving on Sept. 29, i860, at the home of the deceased's uncle, John Freund, the latter having preceded him to the land of the free in 1842. Up to the time of liis marriage, with the exception of two years, during which time he was employed in the Illinois Central car shop in Chicago, Mr. Freund remained on the farm of his father in McHenry township. At the age of twenty-five, on Oct. 22, 1863, he was united in marriage to Anna Freund and moved onto his own farm in Richmond township, which he had previously purchased from John Rainthorpe. In 1894, after thirty-one years of successful farming, he decided to retire from hard work and went to Johnsburg to reside. Here he built for himself a home, in which he and his wife continued to reside until 1905, when he sold the place and came to Mffiaartf1 to make their honp#*^£i>uilt the home in this village, e has made his home for more than sixteen years. His wife passed away here on March 20, 1917. Mr. Freund was the father of eleven children, two of whom passed away in infancy. The surviving children are Stephen H., Peter B., Joseph W., Mrs. Mary Klapperich, Mrs. Emma Barbian, Mrs. Kate Barbian, Frank J., Mrs. Gertrude Davis and John E. All of the children are residents of this village and McHenry township with the exception of Peter B. and Mrs. Gertrude Davis, who reside in Chicago. He also leaves, besides a large circle of friends, thirtyseven grandchildren and twenty-one great-grandchildren, two brothers and sisters as follows: Nicholas M. of St. Louis, Mo.; Joseph H. of Seattle, Wash.; Mrs. Mary Lay and Mrs. Josephine Frett of Johnsburg.
