The country then was inhabited only by Indians, who,, by building1 stepping stones across the, Fox river, had made a fording place. Large blocks of limestone stood on end a pace apart On these the Indians walked, stepping from stone to stone, while their horses, at the end of lead line#, swam the stream. When the white settlers arrived crude rafts were built upon which thgy drove their wagons and livestock and were ferried across the river. Etery period in the history of McHenry has contributed to the importance of the community and today McHenry is the gateway to a nation's playground. To the surrounding lakes come thousands oft visitors every summer and motor cars are seen from nearly every state in the union. McHenry is also a trading center and business center for the lake and river country. In the early days steamboats carried passengers from Pistakee' and other lakes to McHenry, where railroad connections were made, but now fast moving motor boats dart in ana out along the Fox river, also bringing travellers to this city.

Probably nowhere is the vast improvement of the country shown more vividly than at Pistakee Bay, where land that was taken up by the government sold only a few years ago for $15,000 per lot, and very few to be had even at that price. Great have been the changes since the days of the Pistaquas, the Sacs1 and the Foxes and the shires of the PIONEER PASSES TO ETERNAL REWARD A mother was called to her eternal reward on Saturday, March 11, 1933, when Mrs. Bridget Frisby died at her home in this city after years of suffering and illness. For twelve years she had been an invalid, with four years spent in a wheel chair and the last year and a half she was confined to her bed., Despite the monotony of the long years in #hich she was confined to her homt*, Mrs. Frisby maintained her usual cheery disposition and was made happy by the visits of her many friends. Born in Mulnivat, County Kilkenny, Ireland, on February 2, 1847, Bridget Weston came to America at the age of eighteen years, where she went to Chicago and lived for four years until her marriage. Typical of the countryfromwhence" she came, Mrs. Frisby was known for her ready wit and jolly disposition and never felt too ill to lead in the gay repartee of her family and friends. In 1869 she was united in marriage to John B. Frisby and came to McHenry, where she went to live on a farm south of this city. Upon retiring from active work Mr- and Mrs. Frisby moved to McHenry twentyeight years ago, where the deceased j affairs generally and will add a continued to make her home after the momentum to business, giving promise death of her husband nineteen years 0* a steady swing to'normalcy and ago, in 1914.

Although McHenry citizens have' accepted the banking holiday and it* attendant inconveniences calmly, de» liberately and patriotically, there will, nevertheless, be a relaxation and elation made evident upon the reopening of the banks.

The Freeman Whiting hbmestead, Bow owned by Martin Brdthers and tenanted by Thomas Howe, was destroyed by fire Sunday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. Howe and daughter, Gladys, had gone to Elgin for the ifternoon, leaving after dinner, and four children were left at home- Dur-" ing the afternoon the- boys, who were :s 'f>ut3ide, saw , the- flames breaking through the roof of the dwelling and it once spread the alarni> Neighbors and motorists whq saw the flames from Route 20 soon reached the scene, but the blaze, which was , < fanned by the high wind, spread so Rapidly that it Was impossible to save jmuch of the furniture or contents of the house. Clothing, keepsakes and necessities, were all destroyed by the flames and Mr. and Mrs. Howe, returned to find their home in ashes. The cause of the fire had not been determined and is more baffling' to |jsolve because it originated in the section of the house which has not been used for many years. E. A. Thomas, who was one of the first to reach the fire, was badly burned about the face and hands when he endeavored to enter the burning building to save some of the contents. The McHenry fire department answered the call, but the blaze had gained such headway that all effprts were futile. The dwelling was one of the old landmarks in this_ vicinity, having been built probably eighty years ago and was known as the Freeman Whiting homestead. In 1843 Mr. Whiting came wes; from Vermont via Buffalo and the Great Lakes to Chicago and thence to McHenry county- In, 1846 he •bought a farm and turned his attention to agricultural pursuits and added to his original purchase until at! one time he owned nearly one thousand acres of land.
