Freund, proprietor of West McHenry's clothing store for .men. Not only has he spent the last half century as a west side business man but he has also spent that time in the same building on Main street. One of a family of nine children, • bom and reared on German Prairie just over the Richmond Township line, J. W. Freund, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Mathias S. Freund, came to McHenry on July 7, 1890 as a young man of twenty-three years. He commenced •work for "Tip" Smith and Son in the coal and feed business but on October twenty-third of the same year he began working for John J. Miller who then owned a general store, in the « building which is now J. W. Freund's clothing store. Previous to this date the business was conducted by Stevens and Miller the former being the first postmaster In West McHenry. Chet B. Stevens " opened the pos toff ice about fifty-two Jrears ago in the building which it now I occupies today. Hence after a half • century we find history repeats itself. On May 1, 1890 Mr. Stevens died ftnd it was soon after this time that Mr. Freund replaced him in Miller's Store. For twelve years Mr. Freund work- - ed with Mr. Miller and on September 1, 1903 purchased the store from him opening the first store for exclusive men's wear in McHenry. Lived Above Store Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Freund were united in marriage fourty-eight years ago and for many years resided in the apartment over the store until they , moved to their present home on Riverside Drive. They have seven children: Elmer, West McHenry postmaster, Mrs. Homer Fitzgerald, Mrs. Floyd Cooley and Mrs. J. Eugene Sayler, all in West McHenry, Mrs. Julia Kent and Mrs. . - " >£am Zvonar of Chicago and Mrs. Hertr man Nye of Aurora. Mr. Freund was one of the first members of the Community High school board of education having served continusously since its organization in 1920. With the exception of a few years he has served as secretary of the- board. He has also been a member of the City board. Mr. Freund miraculously escaped two fires which swept the west side. The first one devastated the Evanson |ind Besley stores on a wild night on ^X.tlarch 30-31, 1906. A strong wind |>lew a gale from the north and Mr. ; freund attributes the salvation of bT his building to the fact that the water f|, / .from the fire hose froze on the buildfng thus protecting it from the ^ flames. Twenty years later the build- *'• Ing escaped a second fire which ., wrought havoc on the west side. Survives Two Depressions Doe to his good judgment and expert management Mr. Freund has con- *'•••• tfucted his store throuch two major Repressions and many fluctuating de- Cades and seen prices range from the early days when produce was cheap JWith eggs selling for six cents a INTERESTING NEARBY NEWS Work is progressing rapidly in editing and'arranging the scenes taken throughout the summer for the coming premier picture show--"The Everyday Life of Crystal Lake."

Huemann of Johnsburg, who invited a host of relatives and friends to join them in internment on their fiftieth wedding anniversary on Wednesday, October 23, 1940. As the elderly couple attended the nine o'clock high mass, which was read in their honor at $t. John the Baptist church, Johnsburg, by Rev. A. J. Neidert, they undoubtedly recalled the delightful scene which took place in the same church on October 23, 1890. Instead of the automobile in which they rode to church Wednesday, they must have imagined themselves driving up to the door of the church, the church itself having been a comparatively new and modern building at that time, in a horse and buggy and alighting to find Rev. Henry Mehring ready to perform the ceremony. The groom at that time was a proa* pective blacksmith, who was eager to make a place in this world for himself and his beautiful bride. The bride, Miss Barbara Niesen, was slim and lovely, not quite twenty-one years old, and her bridal gdwn was bustled, witTi a side draping much like the styles shown today. Both contemplated a life of contentment and satisfaction, and through the goodness of Divine Providence, have lived thus far to fulfill this dream for fifty years. The attendants at the wedding were Miss Rose Huemann of this city, Mary Niesen of Kenosha, now deceased, Frank Niesen and Jacob Huemann. Pioneer Descendants Both Mr. and Mrs. Huemann are descendants of pioneer residents in the vicinity of Johnsburg. Mr. Hue-« mann, born September 25, 1863, is one of the ten children of the late John and Margaret Huemann, who came from Germany and settled on a farm near Johnsburg. His birthplace is known as the old Huemann homestead. _ Mrs. Huemann, daughter of the late Martin and Eva Niesen, was born November 3, 1869, into a family of eight children. Her parents, too, were natives of Germany, who settled in Johnsburg and opened a shoemaking establishment in the village. Fifteen months after their marriage, the Huemanns moved intd the house in which they have resided ever since. Mr. Huemann established his blacksmith shop in a building just east of his home. Since the advent of the automobile, he has converted the shop into a garage and filling station. f Eight Children Survive Nine children were born of this union; eight survive, Elmer having died on May 26, 1939.
