AWtl 28 Mm Mm tk MRS. AUGUST HUFF ^ Mrs. August Huff, whose untimely death was recorded in these columns last week, was born and grew to womanhood near this village.

She at­ tended St. John's parochial school at Johnsburg and received her first holy communion and also was confirmed at St. John's^ Catholic church at that place. ' €/ The deceased was united in mar­ riage to August Huff on October 19, 1892, the ceremony having taken place at Johnsburg. The year fol­ lowing her marriage she, with her husband, started farming near Rich­ mond. They remained in this locality until 1898, when the family moved to the Mathias Blake farm, a short dis­ tance north of McHenry on the Ring- wood road. They remained at this place until 1901, when they moved to Spring Grove, where the deceased continued to make her borne until her death. > ?

Also do we wish to ex­ tend our thanks to the donors of flowers for the funeral. August Huff and FantMfv Automobile Owners, Attention No doubt a great many of you have missed the services of a good me­ chanic at Stilling's garage since Paul Barbian joined Uncle Sam. His ab­ sence has been keenly felt by our pat­ rons as well as ourselves. We have qpent several months looking for a competent man to take his place and we have found one in Mr. E. D. Jenks of Elgin. He has had several years of very valuable experience, having spent considerable time in the Pack­ ard factory in Detroit, together with several years on automobile racing teams and in garages has made him a very competent mechanic. It has been our aim never to have any but competent mechanics and in this wo feel we have been quite successful. Bring in your next repair job and we, will prove to you that Mr. Jenks is an expert mechanic. Stilling Gara##.
