He was the youngest of a family of six children, his parents being John P. and Helena Adams. His mother passed away when the subject of this sketch was a small boy. At the age of twelve ha, in company with his father and other members of his family, left their native land for America. On their arrival in this country the family came direct to Johnsburg, where they made t their home. Here the deceased attended school and grew to manhood. On Feb. 24, 1886, he was united in marriage to {Catherine Turner, old­ est daughter of George and Bridget Turner of Spring Grove, the ceremony having been performed at St. Pat­ rick's Catholic church in this village. After his marriage he moved onto the old Turner homestead east of Spring Grove, where he continued to reside until the spring of 1900, when he moved to a farm near Ringwood. Some time later he purchased the E. A. Smith farm, where he died. Up until stricken with his ailment, which caused his death, he conducted one of the most flourishing little farms in this locality. He was the father of nine children, all of whom are living except one, Aloyious K., who passed away in his tender years. The living children, who, with a grief stricken wife, are left to mourn, arc as follows: Geo. E., Ida, Vera, Leo, Francis, Helena, Margaret and Claribel. All of the children, excepting George, are liv­ ing at home. He also leaves one sis­ ter, Mrs. Anna Bickler of this vil­ lage, and one brother, Mathias, of Johnsburg. The deceased was a man quiet in manner and kind at heart. He was a good husband and father, who believed in the things that are noble and pure. As he believed he lived. He was a man highly esteemed by those who knew him best and dearly beloved by those nearest to him. The funeral services were held at St. Patrick's Catholic church here at ten o'clock last Friday morning, Rev. M. J. McEvoy, pastor of the church, officiating. Interment was made in the family lot in St. Patrick's ceme­ tery. The bereaved ones have the sincere sympathy of the people of McHenry and the surrounding terri­ tory. First Card Party The first of the winter series of card parties, to be given by the Riv- erview camp, R. N. A., took place at Weber's hall last night. Fourteen fables were occupied by card players, Vvhile one table was devoted to domi­ noes. Miss Veronica Young and John Engeln were the winners of the first prizes at cards, while the consolations went to Miss Rose Oertel and F. A. Beller. Mrs. Henry Meyers received high honors at dominoes. The usual refreshments were served. The next party will be held on Saturday even­ ing, Oct. 30. ^ Farewell Party The young people of the Epworth league tendered one of their number, Miss Ethel Jones, a farewell party at the home of her sister, Mrs. C. W. Goodell, last evening. The evening was passed in a most enjoyable way, games of various kinds predominat ing, after which palatable refresh­ ments were partaken of. Miss Jones was the recipient of a beautiful cut glass bowl as a token of the esteem in which she is held by her many friends in McHenry. She will soon leave to make her home at Meriden, m. , - Inspect lighting System The mayor and bofird of trustees of this place drove down to Crystal Lake on Monday evening of this week for the puf*J)ose of inspecting that city's lighting system. The McHenry board has been trying to figure out a scheme whereby the village will be given abetter street lighting system *and they are of the opinion that this can be done with an additional cost of about $200 per year over what the village is now paying for her lights. Entertainment and Dance An entertainment and dance will take place at the school auditorium on Friday evening of this week, Oct. 15.

Miscellaneous Assortment of News Items In Condensed Form For Busy People A new smoke, stack, 140 feet in height, has just been completed at the Grayslaka condensing factory. Harvard has the largest high school enrollment of any town in McHenry county, 189 students being enrolled. Vegetable thieves have been busy over in Lake county of late. Several truck farmers report the loss of Veg­ etables. Woodstock's opera house is now open on Sunday nights. This makes three Sunday night towns in McHenry county, the others being McHenry and Harvard. The. contracting firm of McManis, Jois & Co.-of Keokuk, Ia^ has started work on Perry's hill at Algonquin. They are building' a new road, which will cut off the dangerous curve at the foot. About fifty men are employed. A jury in the circuit court at Wood­ stock rendered a decision which gives Callahan brothers $1,050 and costs for the injuries received when struck by a Chicago & Northwestern engine on a crossing near Woodstock on July 19. F. O. Sundwall of Round Lake is engaged in the manufacture of bird houses. He makes several hundred of these each year and always finds a ready market for them. He is one of three engaged in the business in the United States. ^ One hundred and twenty-five men and women of Chicago passed a recent Sunday at the Jenks hoittse at Wau- conda. Most of the number took a two'mile hike to the country hom* of Earl Davis, where they sampled some of the latter's freshly made cider. Everybody went home sober. Lester Lanning, son of G. R. Lan- ning of Harvard, and who is a senior at Wesleyan college at Middletown, Conn., has been signed by Connie Mack of the Philadelphia American league team. Mr. Lanning is captain of the college baseball team and his friends predict that he will make good in the big show. The winter 1 night school at the Woodstock high school building will open this evening and the classes will meet Tuesday and Thursday evenings of each week. The subjects' taught are English, commercial arithmetic, letter .^writing, bookkeeping, typewrit­ ing and shorthand. The seventh annual meeting of the eleventh district of Illinois Federation of Women's clubs will be held at the Congregational church at Wpodstock today and tomorrow, Oct. 14 and 15. Tomorrow afternoon the ladies will enjoy an auto trip to the Terra Cotta factory, where they will be shown thru the various departments of the plant. Accepting, an invitation extended them by the A. T. & C. Co., about fifty Crystal Lake people motored to Terra Cotta a week ago last Friday afternoon, where they were shpwn thru the factory at that place. Pres. Gates of the company was present and took the party thru the several de­ partments, explaining the many and various processes as they passed thru the plant. Porter G. Fox won the "Bide a Wee" trophy, presented by Dr. A. Yessler, at the golf tournament held at the golf grounds at Woodstock two days recently. The Woodstock Golf club has just purchased another twen­ ty acres of land, which, when added to this year's golf grounds, will give the club fifty-seven acres of land upon which to play the game that is gain­ ing rapidly in popularity. Peter Bros. Manufacturing company will install a compound sprinkler sys­ tem in their factory at Algonquin in the near future. This improvement necessitates the installation of a 15- 000 gallon water tank, 65 feet in height, to be supplemented to the vil­ lage water supply. The cost of the system will be $3,200, but the reduc­ tion in cost of insurance will make it a profitable investment. Comparison of the court dockets of the circuit courts of Lake, McHenry and Winnebago counties shows that Lake has suddenly forged to the front and now occupies first place of the trio in the total number of cases on its court docket. Lake has 328 chan­ cery cases to 219 in Winnebago and only 106 in McHenry. The total law cases in Lake, however^ is a trifle less than those of Winnebago, the latter exceeding in its common law and criminal branches. While McHenry is far below its two large associates, it is far in excess of Boone, the small county of the quartet that make up the judicial district, which has Judge Frost, Judge Donnelly and Judge Ed- ward* as its circuit court jurists. Communion In Body The members of the McHehry Coun­ cil, Knights of Columbus, will attend communion in a body at St. Patrick's Catholic church next Sunday morning Organisation Is Effected at Meeting Held Laat Evening «,\t£ • i'. • •-is'" Don't forget that The Plaindealer will/print your legal notices just as cheaply as any, paper in McHenry at the eight o'clock mass. 4 Kodak films and photo supplies at McAllister's. The meeting held for the purpose at the school auditorium resulted in the organization of a brass band here last night and if the enthusiasm dis­ played at the meeting may be used as a criterion this old town will soon be given one of the best small town musical organizations to be found anywhere. Twenty-two musically inclined men of the village were present last even­ ing and all joined the new organiza­ tion, which means that the band will start out with an excellent member­ ship. There are still a few of the older band members who have not joined and who will be welcomed into the band should they choose to join. Prof. Sears was chosen director and Prof. A. E. Nye, secretary and treasurer. Prof. Sears has taught violin and band music in McHenry for some time past and he is recog­ nized as one o£ the best musical di­ rectors in the northern part of the state. He has organized bands in a number of the towns in this vicinity, one of them being the Barrington high school band, which has won for its-elf quite an extensive reputation. The band will meet for rehearsals every Wednesday evening, except next week, when they will practise on Friday night. The rehearsals will be held from 8:00 until 10:00 o'clock in the school auditorium. It was decided at the meeting last evening that no money will be solic­ ited from the general public, altho if there are any of the citizens of the village who want to make a little do­ nation it will be thankfully received by the band. The members will work hard this winter and hope that by next sum­ mer to be well enough advanced in the musical art to be able to go out and give the public some crackin' good band concerts, and here's wish­ ing that their fond dreams may come true, as there is nothing in the world that is more of an advertisement to a town than a good band. Ball Game Sunday Ifea McHenry Feds will mart a team representing Richmond on the local diamond next Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. The Feds are play­ ing a pretty classy article of ball and the fans can "rest assured of seeing a good game. The manager of the Feds has asked us to say that the P* ceeds of this game, over and above expenses, will be turned over to the treasurer of the McHenry Sox. Such a spirit on the part of the Feds is most commendable and the manager as well as the members of the team should receive the appreciation of the baseball lovers by a generous turn­ out at the game next Sunday. Gen­ eral admission, 25 cents. Ladies and children, 15 .cents. Dwyer-Walsh Elgin Courier: The marriage of Miss Elizabeth Dwyer and Walter Walsh, the latter of McHenry, will take place Saturday morning at St. Mary's church. The ceremony will be quiet and of simple appointment and will be followed by a breakfast to be served at the home of the bride's uncle, Thomas Dwyer, on Linden ave­ nue. In Miss Dwyer's honor, Mrs. John Costello and Miss Mary Costello entertained at the former's Cedar ave­ nue home Saturday afternoon. Whist entertained, highest score made by Miss Hannah Martin. Decorations were autumn leaves and hearts. A 6 o'clock dinner was served in'the din­ ing room, the centerpiece of the table being a bouquet of scarlet carnations and ferns. A variety of gifts, most attractive and useful, were presented the honored guest. At the CentnM Among the features to be put on by the Famous Players at the Central opera house each Thursday are the following: "The Only Son," Cyril Scott in "The Day of Days," Upton Sinclair's powerful story and play, "The Jungle;" "The Pride of Jennico," "Martin Eden," by Jack London; Bruce McRay in the famous "The Ring and the Man," and America's greatest play, fArizona." Note: On account of the length of these programs there will be but one performance only on these nights. Fox Lake Also High &>t only is the water in Fox river unusually high at this time, but the same is also true of all the lakes north 'of this village. "Not since 1883 has J Fox lake been so high; not since then lean I recall when the water was so high that almost everything has been inundated," so speaks Edward C. How­ ard of Fox Lake. All of the piers around that famous lake are under water and in a .few cases the$ been washed away. -; Issue Marriage Licensor--- A marriage license was issued in Chicago last Thursday to Earl V.

M3OMBER GIVES UP ACTIVE " BUSINESS LIFfe Has Conducted Hardware Business In McHenry For Over a Quarter of a Century ̂ F. L. McOmber, who during the past quarter of a century has con­ ducted a hardware store on the West Side, has sold out and will retire from business activities for a time at least. The purchasers are C. J. Weins- perger and W. J. Donavin of West Chicago, who, according to present plans, will take possession of the bus­ iness the first of next week. Inventory of the stock is now being taken and just as soon as this as well as other matters are satisfae-' torily adjusted the new firm will be ready to take hold. Both members of the new firm are practical men in the hardware and plumbing business and, in view of the fact that the business is a well established as well aa a flourish­ ing one, their success is already assured. The announcement that Mr. Mc­ Omber had sold out came as a sur­ prise to the people of McHenry, as few here had ever dreamed that he would give up a business that he had built up from practically nothing to one of the best in the village. How­ ever, the strain of twenty-five years, with very little time for vacations, began to wear upon him and for this reason only did he decide to sell out and take an indefinite vacation. He may re-enter the hardware busi­ ness again some time in the future, but for a while at least he will take things easy. He and his family will continue to make their home in Mc­ Henry. Mr. McOmber was employed by W. P. Stevens for about a year before he purchased the business which he has just sold. The hardware store was at that time located in an old frame store building which stood on the site now occupied by the West McHenry postofiice. He continued to carry on the business in these quarters until about six years ago, when he moved into the new build­ ing, which now houses one of the best little hardware stores to be found in any village outside of the larger cities. While our people are sorry to see this familiar figure drop from the commercial circles of 01% hustling little village, our business men as well as our citizens in gener^ Jt^d the new firm a hearty welcome. 1 McHENRY HIGHS WIN- ! Defeat Elgin- High School Reserves • to 0 at Just a bit peeved over their de feat by the Crystal £*ake highs at Crystal Lake two weeks ago, the McHenry high school football squad were itching for revenge and. they weren't particular as to who would be the goat. It was with this fighting spirit that the boys left town for Elgin last Sat­ urday noon to do battle with the Re­ serves of the Elgin high school. The game was a hard fought one, as every member who took part in same is willing to testify. In fact, some of the boys' appearances on their return home in the evening evidenced that they had gone thru some scrim­ mage. However, as long as they won the game, why should they care about a few sore spots? The boys' work was far hotter than that displayed at Crystal Lake and woe unto the Crystal Lake team when they meet the home squad in their lair. Coach Dorr is putting the squad thru some hard practise these nights and if there- is anything like football in them he will surely get it out, as what our popular coach doesn't know about the rules and tricks of the game isn't worth knowing. The football material at the -high school this year was even more scarce than last, but the boys are willing workers and will do their ut­ most to win the majority of the games scheduled for the season. The line-ups of the two teams last Saturday were^ as follows: Elgin (0) McHenry (6) Kienzle. «,. ,. L^fe Stoffel McMastef, vSjj.. LT Vickrockv:.»V.. LG O'Connoif^. .....

McHenry can be given just as good street lighting system as any city tor town in this territory with very little x additional cost to what is be­ ing paid for the present poor ser­ vice. The following letter explains^ the situation fully and should be of in­ terest to the people of this village: Crystal Lake, 111., Oct 12. 1915 Dr. D. G. Wells, President of Board of Trustee*} - McHenry, Illinois. Dear Sir--Confirming my statement to the village board at their recent meeting on October 5, would advise you that the present installation of street lights in McHenry consists of six arcs and soventy-three carbon lamps. The contract price on this installation is $60.00 a year each for the arcs and $12.00 a year each for the carbons. This 'system is now ob­ solete and out of date, and at this time I am unable to name another like it We have refrained from spending any great amount of money on this system, as I have expected each sue ceeding board to take some action towards an up-to-date lighting sys­ tem. Below please find a comparative table between the present and pro­ posed systems and in noting the cost of the present system it will be well to bear in mind that the contract was taken at a ridiculously low figure and is impossible for any company to oper­ ate it at a profit Present system, moonlight nights excepted: 6 arcs, c. p. 1000, total c. p. fiOOOv 12:00 m., cost, $300.00. | 73 carbons, c. p. 32, total c. p. 2886, 12:00 m., cost, $876.00. Total cost, $1176.00. Proposed system, every night in the year: 79 gas filled mazda, c. p. 60, total c. p. 4740, 12:00 m., cost $1382,50, 79 gas filled mazda, c. p. 60, total, c. p. 4740, 1:00 a. m., cost $1427.80. You will note from these figures that under the proposed schedule it would appear that you were not get­ ting as much candle power under the proposed system as you have at pres­ ent. This is due to the fact that years ago these lamps were listed as 1000 candle power and probably at that time lived up to their rating in the way of measuring candle power at that time. One way they figured the candle power was to fig­ ure 250 candle power on the four sides of the lamp, thus. arriving at a total candle power of 1000. the proposed system would include new fixtures thruout, the same as we re­ cently installed for the city of Crys­ tal Lake, and are about to install for the villages of Algonquin and Cary. The proposed system would be a series system, which would mean that each and every lamp would re­ ceive exactly the same amount of voltage and consequently give exact­ ly the same amount of light, which condition is utterly impossible to ob­ tain under your present installation. You will note from the previous table that the proposed system, op­ erating to 12, midnight, every night, would cost the village $206.50 per year or $17.21 per month more than the present rate. The same figures on the same installation, giving one o'clock every night service, would be $261.80 per year or $21.82 per month more than the present rate. The majority of the municipalities using our service prefer the> one o'clock schedule, but it is a matter for each city or village to decide for themselves. The system which we propose to install would cost the company approximately $3,000.00 to install and would place McHenry street lights on a par with any city or village under my jurisdiction. Under the proposed system you would have a 60 full candle power light in place of each 32 candle power and in my opinion the 60 can­ dle power gas filled lamp would prove fully as satisfactory as the arc lights now in use. Your very truly, L. D. Stephens, Supt, District "E." Sahlberg at Waukegan Roy Sahlberg, the pitching main­ stay of the McHenry Sox, appeared at Waukegan last Sunday afternoon in a Highland Park uniform. He re­ lieved Cantwell, the Highland Park pitcher, in the sixth round, but did not last. Waukegan fell upon "Sally's" offerings and knocked our little flinger all over the lot. He lasted but two innings, during which time the Waukegan team touched him up for several singles and three doubles. Waukegan won the game by a score of 19 to 5.
