Thus it is that one day of all the year stands out as the most memorable one in the minds of Ringwood residents, which marks the annual home-coming for present and former residents of our neighboring village of Ringwood. The fourth annual home-coming was held by the Ringwood Home-coming association at the Modern Woodman hall in Ringwood on Thursday afternoon and evening, Aug. 22. Invitations to attend this meeting had been :extended far and wide and nearly 200 people gathered to enjoy the day together. Familiar faces were seen at the home-coming from all parts of the country and various states of the union and these former residents of Ringwood and vicinity were greeted heartily and gladly welcomed by the local people. The old friends met and the reminescences exchanged brought happiness to the faces and a warmth of friendship to the hearts of those who will always consider this their home, no matter how far they may roam. W? The day was filled with entertainment* consisting of a program and speeches in the afternoon, followed by a delicious supper, after which a drama in four acts, entitled "The Dust of the Earth," was put on by local talent during the evening. That the day was a great success in more ways than one was made evident by the announcement of the proceeds realised, which amounted to $116.70 for the day. ^ The day's events were sponsored by the Home Circle of Ringwood and) this little village is to be complimented upon having the talent to put on an affair of this kind. v The afternoon program was held in the hall and was opened 'with a prayer by Rev. Hoover, which was followed by community .Binging in charge of Mass Hodge of Solon and Clark Huson of Elgin, who were ac cjmpanied by Miss Clara Smith of Portland, Ore. The minutes of the last meeting were read and the same officers of the homecoming association were re-elected, namely, J. V. Buckland, president, and Mrs. A. W. Smith, secretary. A reading, "At Home," by Edgar Guest, was given by Mrs. Emma Brown and a poem entitled "Ringwood," which was written by William Nickle shortly before his death, was read by MTS. A. W. Smith. Letters of greetings were read from Mildred Lawson Munshaw of Eau Claire, Wis., and Rev. Samuel J. Harrison of Ann Arbor, Mich., who was attending Boston University this summer. Seven Die Diving Year The names of seven former Ringwood residents, who have passed to the Great Beyond since the meeting last yeir, were read. The seven who were all present at the gathering one year ago but who had since answered their eternal summons were Mrs. Emily Roe, Clark Hall, Ora Harrison and Mrs. Myrtle Shales all of Woodstock; Mrs. Laura Brown and William Coates of Ringwood and Mrs. Nora Bartholf of Richmond. Although living in various cities they were all buried at Ringwood. The program was continued with a song by Miss Lillian Darby, Mrs. Libbie Allen of Woodstock gave a reading and Miss Mary Jenks, accompanied by her mother, Mrs. Agnes Jenks, played a very pleasing violin solo. Attorney Eckert Is Speaker The principal speaker of the afternoon was Attorney Floyd Eckert of Woodstock who gave a most appropriate talk for the occasion. Many of the guests also gave interesting talks, telling of their present circumstances and recalling early scenes at Ringwood and! incidents an4 memories of their earlier life. Ottt-of-Town Visitors* Among the out-of-town visitors were Mr. and Mrs. Will Beck of Dundee; Mrs. E. A. Smith and daughter, Olara, of Portland, Ore.; MT. and Mrs. Clyde Harrison of River Forest; Mr. and Mrs. James Conway and Mr. and Mrs. Harold Betzer of Libertyville; Mir. and Mrs. Richard Kazelka and twin sons of Minneapolis, Minn.; Mr. and Mrs. Rahm, Mrs. May Sayler and Rastus Taylor and son of Elgin; Mrs. John Reynolds of Genoa City; Mrs. Libbie Allen and Mrs. lkfiary Pierce of Woodstock; Miss May Sweet of Rockford; Mrs. Agnes Jenks and daughter^ Mary, of Chicago; Miss Lillian Darby of Grayslake; Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Turner and Mr. and Mrs. Walter Winn of Spring Grove; Mr. and Mrs. Frank Peet of Richmond: Mfiss B. Hodge of Solon; Mr. and Mrs. Clark Huson of Elgin, and several from McHenry. A delicious supper was served at five o'clock, to which there was a large attendance, after which the four-act drama, "The Dust of the Earth," was given at eight o'clock and was the closing event of this reunion day. The drama was a most interesting one, enacting a story which excited the interest and sympathy of the audience. The rendering of the drama showed much preparation on the part of the actors for its successful fulfillment, all of them taking their respective parts in a pleasing and proficient manner. The cast of .characters was as follows; David Moore, of Maple Farm cottage --Ben Walkington. Snifn Moore, his wife--Mrs. B. Wabcington. .. . Elisabeth, their daughter--Bertuce Smith. . Jerry, their son--Ben Hoover. Rev. Dr. Templeton, a young divine-- Harold Jepson. Miss Arabella, the village newspaper-- Mrs. A. W. Smith. John Ryder, the young master of the Maples--Lyle Hopper. Wandering Tom, a mystery--Roland McCannon. Old Morse, his companion--Henry Wlncel. y •" •. Nell, "The Dust of the Earth"1---Lorena Jepson. The scene of the first act was the exterior of Miaple Fartn, acts two and four were laid in the interior of Maple Farm cottage, and act three was a scene in wandering Tom's cottage. Elizabeth is jealous of her cousin, Nell, whose only friend in the family seems to be her uncle. Although life looks hard and dark for her throughout the play, Nell finally comes into her own to learn that she is the [former's daughter of wandering Tom, who is j Heimer. rightfully Tom Osborne, wealthy owner of Maple Farm, her love for John Ryder is returned and she forgives her relatives for their unkind treatment of her. The play is an appealing one and was well received by ths large audience of interested spectators. Music between acts was furnished by the Clyde Clark family and the play Was coached by Mrs. Ray Peters and Mrs. Lyle Hopper, assisted by Mrs. L. Hoover. Thus ended another successful day in Ringwood and one long to beo remembered by every one present. The poem "Ringwood," which was written by William Nickle, one of the first school teachers at Ringwood, as well as at McHenry, who was loved by all, tells of his regard for his home there as follows: There are some places that I lovft, Which to my heart are dear, No matter where my footsteps row, Their memory brings me cheer. I think of friends of other days, I in those places met; Long as I live those dear old friends I never can forget. One place is a little village In northern Illinois, For many years my home was then, A home of peace and joy. Yes Ringwood I shall always lov> Although my home no more; 4 -* It comes before me here today, Just as it did of yore. Gerald Steilen of Chicago spent the week-end in BfficHenry.
