McHenry For a Period of • > ^gevefctjr-three Vemn. Henry M. McOmber, who 'fwssed away at his home here on Tuesday, March 2», 1910, was born at Coleaville, Broome county, N. Y., February 27, 1825. He came to this village with hia parents in Ju*e of the year 1837 and has resided here continually ever since, a period of seventy-three years. The journey from his birthplace to Mcflenry was made by wagou, years before the advent of the railroad.' The trip to McHenry one can easily imagine was a long and weary one. From the old home the family crossed the Niagara river into Canada and passed on to Windsor, where they again entered the states at Detroit. They then crossed the state of Michigan and around Lake Michigan, thru northern Indiana to Mc­ Henry, where they arrived in June, 1837. At that time there was no road from Wheeling, 111., to this place, hut a large letter "H" had been cut into the bark of trees to donate highways. When McHenry was reached the place con­ tained only a few log cabins and was in­ habited by such early arrivals as Dr. Christy G. Wheeler. The McOmber family's first place of residence in Mc­ Henry was in a log cabin that occupied a site near the present mill dam. The first school that- the v subject of our sketch attended was in what was in those days known as Brown's log tavern, taught by one Arculus Siast As was the custom in those days, there was a bar in one end of the tavern, while school .was kept in ^he other. Among the school books used were the did Columbian speller and English reader, which the deceased had carefully pre­ served as precious relics. He next At­ tended school in a small frame house kept by Rev. Joel Wheeler, which stood where the residence of Jacob Jnsten now stands. Among the scholars attending the school was Miss Emma Thomas, who boarded with Mr. Wheeler, and who afterwards became the wife of the deceased, the wedding taking place in February, 1847. Dr. H. T. Brown and Webster and Allen Colby were also among the pupils of the same school. His playmates during school days 'were to a great extent Iudians, of the Pottawattomie tribe. The Indian camps extended along Fox river both ways from where Buch's hotel how stands. At the time that the McOmber family arrived in McHenry they saw .500 Indians camped on the west side of Fox river in a beautiful white oak grove, which at that time covered the site of our present village. At that time the river was much wider and larger and filled^ its banks more fully than it does now. It was a great diversion to the Indian boys to see Mr. McOmber try to manage the birch bark canoes. ' At first he would roll over, canoe and all, but he soon learned to manage them and within a very short time was able to outdo his Indian companions in expertness. Capt. Morgan, one of the Indians, in later years became an intimate friend of Mr. McOmber and the two went out on many a hunting expedition together. On one occasion the' two succeeded in shooting seven beautiful deer, this ex­ pedition being one of the most thrilling that the subject of our sketch ever had. Mr. McOmber has held many offices of trust during life in this township, which were those of constable, justice of the peace, police magistrate, deputy sheriff and tax collector, each and every one of which he filled in a highly effi­ cient and honorable manner. Ten children were born to Mr. and Mrs. McOmber, five of whom are living, as follows: Mrs. J. M. Preston and F. L. McOmber of this village; Mrs. John I . Story and C. M. McOmber of Chica­ go; A. W. McOmber of Sioux Falls, S. D. These with their mother are left to mourn the death of a kind and loving husband and father. The deceased was of the sterling Scotch-Irish stock, a man of upright­ ness, a good neighbor, kind friend and loyal citizen. He leaves a record that is worthy of emulation. The funeral services, which were largely attended, were conducted from hie late home last Thursday morning, the remains being laid to rest.in Wood­ land cemetery. {SUNDAY SCHOOL NOTES EXECUTI VE COMMITTEK, Wo.

The Fifty-second Annual convention of the Illinois Sunday school association at Olney, III., May 31-June 2, 1910. The annual convention of the Mc­ Henry County Sunday School associa­ tion at Marengo on June 23 and 24, 1910. It is hoped that a complete schedule of dates for our township conventions may be reported soon. Several have arrangements already on foot, but have not determined their date positively. The following dates for township con­ ventions have been arranged: Riley township convention with Riley Sunday school April 10; Dorr township conven­ tion at Woodstock April 17, at the Bap­ tist church at 2 p. m.; Algonquin town­ ship convention at Cary May 15; Che* mung township convention at Harvard and Big Foot May 22. Now is the time to start those flower gardens for the Sunday school anit church decoration. If you have not tried it, the* president of the county association will be glad to give you plans and to recommend two reliable seed housed from whom you can obtain flower seeds atone cent per packet or less. If you have not considered the advan­ tages of having your adult classes regu­ larly organized and registered with the International association, write Elmer Standish at Marengo and let him tell you about what others are doing. A repetition of the parade of men's classes, which was so remarkable a feature of last year's state convention, is planned for Olney this year. May«we not have a part in this movement in our own county? We expect C. E. Schenck, state home department secretary, to be with us at Marengo in June. In the meantime, look up your own home department, see where its deficiencies are, what it does and what it does not do, so that you can obtain an intelligent notion of what you want tp find out from him at the eonh- ty convention. Mrs. Geo. Standish, Marengo, is the head of that department of our county work. Write her for hints. > Council Proceeding*. Council Rooms, April 4, 191-0.

Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, discourages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerful­ ness soon disappear . when the kidneys are out of order or dis­ eased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncom­ mon for a child to be born afflicted with weak kidneys. If the Child urinates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh, or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wet­ ting, depend upon it, the cause of the diffi­ culty is kidney troublfe, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a "habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made miser­ able with kidney and bla "1 ler trouble, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It is sold by druggists, in fifty- cent, and one-dollar size bottles, You may have a sample bottle by mail free, also a pamphlet telling all about Swamp-Root, Home ol Swamp-Hoct. including many of the thousands of testi­ monial letters received from sufferers who found Swamp-Root to be just the remedy needed. In writing Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., be sure and mention this paper. Don't make any mistake, but remember the name, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and the address, Binghamton, N.
