One of the largest attended funerals held in McHenry in a long time was that of William Weber, which took place from St. Mary's Catholic church at nine o'clock last Friday morning. The members of both the McHenry and Johnsburgh courts of Catholic Foresters as well as the Knights of Columbus of this place turned out in a body and it is estimated that there were no less than 150 men in line as the body was borne from his late home on Washington street to St. Mary's Catholic church, where the last sad rites were performed by lie v. I). Lehane of St. Patrick's church. Rev. Lehane preached a most fitting sermon for the occasion, his subject resting almost entirely upon "The Soul of Man." The remains were laid to rest in the family lot in St. Mary's Catholic ceme­ tery. Among those from a distance who attended the funeral of William L. Weber here last Friday were the fol­ lowing: Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Wolff. Mrs. Math. Bantes, Peter Wolff and daughter, Frances; Mrs. NickSchaefer and son, Anton; Mike Grieble, Anton Toennis, Julius Butzenof Chicago: Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Thelen, Mrs. Adolph Fischer, Mitt Emma Thelen and Ar­ thur Thelen of Elgiu. CARD OF THANKS. We, the undersigned, wish thru these columns to thank our many kind friends for their assistance and words of sympathy during the sickness and after the death of our beloved one. Particularly do we wish to thank the , members of both courts of Foresters as well as the Knights of Columbus for the respect shown, and also do we wish to thank the donors for the numerous floral pieces and bouquets. All has been duly appreciated by Mas. WEIJER AND CHILDREN. ENTERTAINS JOLLY TWELVE.
