Altho the deceased had not been in the best of health for some time past, he had always, up to Wednesday, been able to look after his farm interests and conduct most of the work. He suffered the stroke at about two o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, Sept. 24, while engaged in hauling gravel from a pit on the farm of Jacob Freund, a neighbor. P. G. Peterson, who was also hauling from the same pit, found Mr. Meyer and notified the stricken man's wife.

As stated in these eolmnns last week, the Marathan company is asking nothing in the way of a donation.

Mr. Meyer gave up his big farm in February, 1913, and with his family came to make his home on the placo where he died, having purchased the farm from Joseph Justen of this city. He was the father of five children, all of whom are living. These are: Mrs. George P. Freund, Mrs. Martin J. Weber, who reside in this city; Leo, Elmer and Frederick, who are at home. Besides these and a sorrowing widow, he also leaves to survive two grandsons, seven sisters and one brother, as follows: Mrs. Hubert Freund, who resides east of this city; Mrs. Wm. Freund and Mrs. Joseph Schmitt of Spring Grove; Mrs. Joseph P. Miller, who resides on the German prairie, Mrs. Jacob R. Justen of Waukegan; Mrs. John F. Justen of south of this city, Mrs. Ben H. Stilling of. Johnsburg and Fred Meyer of Spring Grove. The life of Mr. Meyer was one of Industry and thrift, while his home life was in strict accordance with the teachings of the Roman Catholic faith. He was a good citizen, a loving husband, a kind father and a man who commanded the respect of everyone. He was a member of St. Mary's Catholic church and McHenry council. Knights of Columbus.

At the end of that time, as we understand it, the company will pay a fair rental on the building until such time as they see fit to purchase the property. In view of Ike fact that the concern has now been in operation for fourteen year and also that they are making garments for some of the leading stores in Chicago and other large centers, it looks to us as if they have a particularly bright future before them and it wouldn't surprise us in the least if no lfefis than seventy-five women and girls will find employment during the second year should McHenry be" successful in locating the factory. Once more let us call your attention to the FINAL MASS MEETING at the K. of C. hall this (Thursday) evening. A special invitation is extended to the ladies. A lunch will be served.
