Brown, who had claimed McHenry as his home for more than a quarter of a century, and whose death was chronicled in these columns last week, was born at Big Foot, McHenry county, on Oct. 10, 1861, being in his sixty-first year at the time of his death. The deceased was the son of Royal and Amelia Brown. At the age of nine he came to this vicinity, where he took up his home with his sister, Mrs. Wallace Colby, who at that time resided near McCollcm's lake. With the exception of a year or so which was spent in Iowa, he continued to make his home with his sister up to the time of his marriage. He was united in marriage to Leah Sherman, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Sherman, on Dec. 28, 1887, the ceremony having taken place in the M. E. church parsonage in this village. The first two years of his married life were spent on the farm of his wife's parents, after which he moved to the Mead farm, now owned by William Cossman. The family remained here about a year and then took up their abode in McHenry, whtth pliwe the deceased has ever, since continuously ^called his home. Mr. Brown was among thfe first men to find employment at the local plant of the Borden Milk company and for about fifteen years was a faithful and trusted workman there. A few years ago, when he found that the indoor employment was beginning to prove a detriment to his health, he gave up work at the plant and sought outside employment. The first real decline in his health came about two years ago and from that time on his strength gradually left him. In the hope that a change of climate might prove beneficial, he made arrangements for a stay at the Woodman sanitarium, Woodman, Colo., for which place he left last October and where he remained until about the middle of February. The deceased was a member of Valley camp, M. W. A., as well as Fox River Valley camp, R. N. A^ of this village. He also served two terms on the local board of health. During his many years of residence in this village he proved himself a highly respected citizen, always standing for the better things of life and ever ready to extend aid when called upon. He is survived by a grief stricken widow, one son, Earl, and a granddaughter, Harriett, of Woodstock. Besides these he also leaves one sister and two brothers, Mrs. Lydia Freeman, Frank and John Brown, the former residing at Sandusky, N. Y., while the two brothers also make their homes in that state. The funeral services were conducted from his late home on West Waukegan street at two o'clock last Friday afternoon, the Rev. N. A. sSunderlin of Woodstock officiating. The music was provided by Mrs. H. A. Gibbs and Wm. Sherman, both of Genoa Junction, Wis. Interment was made in Woodland cemetery in this village. The family's many friends in and around McHenry extend to them their most sincere and heartfelt sympathy in this, their sad hour of bereavement. First Methodist Church "What Can We Believe" will he the subject of a series of sermons extending thruout the major portion of the summer. Thought, and especially religious thought, has been changing rapidly of late and the transformations have at times seemed startling. It is therefore necessary that the Christian faith be continually reinterpreted in the Hght of the best modern thinking. The sermon next Sunday will be entitled "Belief In God." What is our idea of God? Does modern day science eliminate him from the universe? Is he a blind natural force? Is he a person? What do we believe concerning his character ? Does he meet our needs ? These and other questions will be discussed with openness and frankness. Sunday school will meet at our church promptly at 10:00 o'clock. Miss Baxter, the director of religious education in Lake county, will be present to visit the school and make suggestions. The church service follows at 11:00. Graduate From Chicago Academy Miss Mary Walsh, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. J. Walsh of this village, and Miss Mary McCabe, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Patrick McCabe of Burton's Bridge, were numbered among the 1922 class to graduate from the Academy of Our Lady, Longwootf, on Thursday ^evening of last week. Among those from McHenry to witness the impressive 'ceremonies were Mr. and Mrs. M. J. Walsh and daughters Dorothy and Eleanor; Misses Ellen Doherty, Mary Burke, Margaret Stenger and Rosemary Nye. Thanks The niwti and members of Riverview camp, R. N. A., wish to thank all members of the cast of "Peg o' My Heart" as well as all who took part in the R. N. A. benefit given at the Empire theatre on June 14 and 15. BOAT RIDE < AND PICNIC JOYEB BY SEVENTY BNTwe Beats Froifc Htmter Beat Carry Jolly Pittticere Thm Lakes and Up fcFWHmet, Wis. The McHenry Community club's first annua! outing and boat ride, as participated in by about seventy members on Tuesday of this week, proved a highly enjoyable occasion and if we are to accept the verdict of those who joined in the day's pleasure the second outing will prove even larger and more enjoyable if Such a thing is possible. Two of the Hunter boat line's largest boats carried the pleasure-soekers from this village, up Fox river, thru the chain of lakes and thence up to Wilmot, Wis. The boats left Justeh's pier about 8:30 o'clock and again docked in the evening about eight, thus making a full day of it. The McHenry band accompanied the members on the trip and to say the least its presence was thoroly enjoyed by everyone. The first stop was made at Grass lake, where the band delighted the resorters with a few choice selections, after which the journey was continued up Fox river. A stop was made along the beautiful Fox at a point about midway between Grass lake and Wilmot. A more beautiful spot could not have been chosen. A dinner luncheon and a short rest and the boys were again ready to proceed, the next stop being at Wilmot. After letting the natives of that quiet little hamlet know what the excitement was all about, the return trip was started. Once more the boats came to a halt at the same place where dinner had been served only an hour previous. Soon all were on shore and for a few hours the entire party, or as many as cared for the sport, were engaged in games of indoor baseball. Others sat between the shady trees to watch the fun and antics of some of the older fellows who had suddenly grown young. After everyone had expressed themselves as having had enough - of the exercise, the boats were again boarded for a trip thru Grass lake and thence in Fox lake, where a stop was made at the Mineola hotel. Selections by the band again livened things up at this popular hostelry and, while there weren't many around the place to enjoy the treat, the few who were there expressed their appreciation of the bandmen's efforts by a hearty applause. After partaking of refreshments at this point, the homeward trip was started, there being no further stops until the starting point had been reached. AHho a bit tired, everyone was happy at the close of the day's outing. That the occasion will be made an annual one is assured. Drive Starts Here Next Week Catholics of McHenry, Johiu^xtrg and Volo, together with those residing in the rural districts served by these parishes, will be asked to subscribe towards a $1,000,000 fund that is being sought to establish a Catholic foundation at the University of Illi nois. The drive to raise the quota which has been allotted this district will start next week, with the hope that the entire campaign may be put over within a very short time. Jos. w- Freund of this village has been named chairman, while Peter M. Justen will act as secretary of the drive. Various committees will he appointed by these two gentlemen with the hope that all will become active with the start of the campaign. Arrangements have also been made for the announcement of the coming drive from all the pulpits of the Catholic chovphes in this district. Leave For Fatherland Mr. and Mrs. L. Heisler, who for some time past have made this village their home, where the former was employed in the McHenry bakery, sold their household effects last Saturday and on Monday of this week went to Chicago, where they com pleted final arrangements for a trip to their home in the Fatherland, where they expect to pass their remaining days. The couple came to America quite a number of years ago and, while they expressed regret at leaving the United States, they felt that this was about, the only course for them to follow, as both are growing old in years and their relatives all reside on the otheJr side. i;« v• '.' • / .

Two School Boards Met In Joint Session Thursday Night The hiring of a school superintendent is still a matter to be threshed out between the two boards. A joint meeting of the two school boards was held last Thursday evening, but nothing definite was done along the line of engaging a superintendent for the coming year. According to reports which have come to us,1 the fight will probably continue some time longer before an agreement is reached. Our information is to the effect that the majority of the members of the. community high school board will not consider the re-engagement of Prof. O. G. Treadway, while the majority of the members of the grade school board would be very pleased to have Mr. Treadway returned. And thus the matter stands. » , The writer has personally interviewed one of the members of the community board and ft-om the attitude as expressed by him there is no possible chance of the re-engagement of Mr. Treadway. There is a possibility that each of the two boards will hire their own school head and thus do away with the hiring of one man to preside over the two schools as has been the rule since the advent of the community school. Another matter which is quite certain to bring about more or less squabbling between the two boards will be the renting of quarters by the community board. According to some of the members of the grade school board their quarters next season will be more crowded than has been the case during the term just closed and f this terminates into a fact the grade school will need more room. This will necessarily mean the crowding out of at least a portion of the community school and just what action will be taken in the matter of providing accommodations for the over-flow remains to be seen. According to our information the community board is now looking into this matter quite thoroly and if it comes to a point where it will mean a move temporary quarters will be rented to take care of the emergency. There is nothing new to report this week regarding the new community high school building other than that the committee appointed for the purpose of placing a fair valuation on the property which is to comprise the site has provided the school board with their findings. The board in turn has made a tentative offer to the various owners of the Herbes tract, with the request that their acceptance or refusal be in the hands of the board no later than next Tuesday evening, June 27, when the next meeting of that body is scheduled to take place. The Plaindealer has been unable to obtain the figures as decided upon by the investigation committee, altho from the outside we are told that they are considered very fair. Whether or not the various owners will accept the offer is not known and will not be known until next Tuesday evening. To those who appear more familiar with the situation it looks as if the obtaining of the site will eventually come via condemnation proceedings. BIG CROWD AT PI8TAKEE IM Oak Park Elks Dine Ihm Last Sunday The Pistakee Bay hotel, under the management of A. F. Woehnker, is enjoying a very fine business and last Saturday and Sunday was taxed to its utmost capacity. On Saturday and Sunday fifty employes of the American Can company of Maywood enjoyed an outing at the place, and on Sunday the Oak Park Elks, 600 strong and traveling via automobiles, were entertained for dinner. The Elk delegation was probably the largest that has gathered at the lakes in years, their cars occupying every foot of available parking space surrounding this popular hostelry. , Mr. Woehnker is looking forward to an exceptionally busy season at this resort, at least the opening makes the future look most encouraging, , Hie Social Wheel • , * The members of the Sociaf Wh^el met at the home of Mrs. A. J. Schneider on Mill street on Thursday afternoon, June 8. In spite of the large crowd in attendance, the hostess soon had all engaged in the afternoon's entertainment, five hundred and bunco. Prizes were awarded to Miss Inez Bacon and Mrs. Gerald Newman. At the close of the afternoon a delicious luncheon was served. This afternoon the Wheel is being entertained by Mrs. T. J. Walsh at her pleasant home on Elm street. Screw Driver la Hand Frank Meyer, employed at the 84ar garage in this village, met with quite a painful accident while at work at the place on Tuesday morning of this week. He was handling a screw driver when the wood handle expanded, thus driving the steel butt end of the driver into the palm of his right hand. The injury will keep the ftung man from work for several days. - WES AT CHICAGO IftSflTAL MRS. GERTRUDE L. MILLER SUCCUMBS LAST FRIDAY Was Stricken Seriously Hi at Her Late Home Here oa June I--Ifckea . to Chicago Hospital ; * Probably no death in recent years has brought a more profound sorrow to the people of this community than that of Mrs. Gertrude L. Miller, which occurred at the Garfield Park hospital, Chicago, at five o'clock last Friday afternoon, June 16, 1922. The deceased was taken quite seri ously ill at her late home on Main street on June 1. Following a con Kuitation of doctors she was taken to Chicago, where she entered the above named hospital on Thursday, June 8, an operation for appendicitis having been performed upon her that same day. Other complications which had been found to exist made the operation a doubly serious one and, while the immediate relatives had been told of the patient's grave condition even before her trip to Chicago, fond hopes had been entertained by them that their loved one might be able to withstand the operation and at the same time recover sufficient strength as to enable her to undergo a second operation. But this was not to be, our good friend and esteemed citizen answering the final summons just eight days after her departure from her home and friends. • The remains were brought to McHenry on Saturday afternoon and taken to her late home, from whence the funeral took place on Tuesday morning. Gertrude L. Miller, daughter of the late John and Margaret Glossen, was born on the old homestead east of this village, now owned by Henry Stilling and occupied by the latter's son, Joseph Stilling, Jr., on Sept. 11, 1863. Here she was raised and grew to young womanhood. At the age of sixtepn she came to McHenry and for many years was employed in the households of the late Richard Bishop and Dr. C. H. Fegers. On April 19, 1887, at the Catholic church at Johnsburg, she was united in marriage to John J. Miller by the late Rev. H. M. Mehring. Ever since then and up to the time of her death she has resided in this village. Her husband passed away at their home here some seventeen years ago. No children were born to the union. During the first years of her residence here the family made its home in tiie flat over the Jos. W. Freund store and for over a quarter of a century she had resided in her late home on Main street. The deceased was a Roman Catho lie, having been a devout member of St Mary's church in this village ever since its institution. During these many years she has ever been an active worker in the activities of that church and to her credit it must be said that she probably did as much if not more for St. Mary's than any other member. She was also a member of St. Clara court, W. C. O. F., the Christian Mothers of St: Mary's and the Fox River Valley camp, R. N. A. In a social way she was a member of the West Side Five Hundred Card club, many a happy gathering of this organization having taken place in her home during the past several winters. Mrs. Miller possessed many fine traits of character. Not only did she possess a kindly and generous heart, but also exemplified these beautiful qualities whenever the opportunity presented itself. Her sympathy and helping hand was ever at the command of those in need. In short, her every act was of the kind that commanded the highest respect. As stated above there isn't an immediate family. Those nearest to her who are left to mourn are three brothers and six sisters, as follows: Mrs. Nicholas Van Dyke and Thomas Glossen of Humphrey, Neb.; Mrs. John Schaid of Ingleside, Mrs. George Schaid of Griswold Lake, Mrs. James Murray of Wauconda, Mrs. Fred Kark, Mrs. Elizabeth Rothermel, Mathias and Peter Glossen, all of whom reside in and near this village. She is also survived by a large number of nieces and nephews, besides a circle of warm friends. The funeral took place tram her late home on Main street at nine o'clock on Tuesday morning and thence Unom St. Mary's Catholic church, where requiem mass was celebrated. Rev. Charles S. Nix, pastor of the church, performed the last rites and also paid a high and fitting tribute to the deceased during the sermon. The spacious church edifice was well filled with relatives and friends of the deceased, who had gathered to pay their final respects to one that they had loved. Interment was made in the fafcily lot in St Mary's cemetery. There are to be four races at Libertyville on July 4 this year. A 2:09 pace, one 2:14 trot, also the 2:30 pace as well ss a 2:30 trot.

Not only was the former McHenry young woman given her degrees, but was also signally honored by being accepted into the "Omicron Kappa Upsilon" fraternity, which means that a very high average in all studies for the four years had' been attained. Only eleven of the class were accorded this distinction, there being ten men students to be similarly honored. There were three other young ladies in the class to graduate. Miss Evanson, after her graduation from the local high school, entered the employ of the Chicago Telephone company at its McHenry exchange and later was transferred to Chicago, where she worked until about five years ago, when she gave up her position to take a trip to her old home in Norway. She entered the Northwestern University shortly after her return home from abroad and how successful she has been in the * study of her chosen profession has already been told above. Miss Evanson has already taken over her brother's dental practice in Chicago, where she will remain until after Dr. Edwin Evanson's return from Europe, for which country he sailed from New York city yesterday. Dr. Evanson expects to spend three or four months abroad. McHenry friends and especially former schoolmates and coworkers in the local telephone exchange extend to Dr. Evanson their heartiest congratulations and best wishes for success in her newly acquired profession. Mrs. Cassie Eldredge Murray of Chicago, also a former McHenry young lady, was among the Very much interested spectators who witnessed the exercises at Evanston last Monday morning. OPENING OF NEW GOLF COURSE ITEMS er LOCAL AS PICKED UP BY PLAmDSUIdHt REPORTERS DURING WEEK ^ are now 11 #; fl Sidney Smith to Shoot Fint Ball oa Sunday, July 2 Arrangements have about been completed for the formal opening of the McHenry Country club's new golf course, located in the Owen, Stenger A Allen'subdivision to McHenry. The auspicious occasion is scheduled to take place at ten o'clock on Sunday morning, July 2, at which time Sidney Smith, famous cartoonist for the Chicago Tribune, will be accorded the honor of making the first drive which will mark the opening. Much work has been done 6n this course during the past few weeks and those who are familiar with the game, which is rapidly coming to be the most popular out-door recreation in the world, declare the course to be in very good playing condition when its newness is considered and that within the course of another year McHenry should be able to boast of one of the very finest and most ideal courses to be found in this section of the stela. Penred Drew Packed House Students of the DePaul academy and high school, Chicago, very ably presented the four act drama "Penrod" before a packed house at the Empire theatre last Sunday afternoon. The play, according to those who were fortunate enough to witness same, proved one of the most pleasing presented in McHenry in a long time, each of the eighteen characters carrying out his or her role in a manner that held the big gathering in an attentive mode thruout. The net proceeds went into the new building fund of St. Patrick's church. Needless to say that the pastor as well as parishioners appreciate the students coming and are highly grateful for the service rendered. Season's First Band Conewt The season's first band concert by the McHenry band will take place at the band stand in Borden's park on Wednesday evening of next week, June 28. The roof of the band stand is now completed and it is the further hope of the band men to hawfe the place in a more presentable condition than that of last year. In fact, the stand should be entirely completed within the course of a very short time. The weeds and underbrush in the park have also been mown. The band this year boasts a number of now Benben.
