"MIRROR" COVER OF LOCAL MOTHER AN© HER BABY DAUGHTER A recent issue of -the Fox Valley Mirror, published by Leonard Fowler, carried a very interesting cover page in colors, being a reproduction of a photogaph of a McHenry mother and child, Mrs. L. B. Murphy and daughter, Mary Lynn. Editor Fowler states that he believes this is one of the finest-cover pages the Mirror has ever published, and the opening paragraphs of his story reads as follows: "When you have watched a little girl grow up; when you have seen her^graduate f{om high school; when you have learned that she has fled the home nest; when you, at last, are told that she has made good, and then you lose sight of her ... it is a bit disconcerting--suddenly, one day -- to meet her again as a wife and mother with her lovely baby. "Evelyn Anne Karls is the fourth generation to live in the Fox River Valley. Grandfather Carl Karls was born in Germany; Grandfather Harry Nicholls was an Englishman. Her father, John Karls, was born at Johnsburg. Her mother, Edith Nicholls Karls, was born at Volo. "L. B. Murphy, D. D. S., who married Evelyn, is the son of L. B. Murphy, for years a dentist in Chicago, and of Olive McTravers Murphy, of Welsh extraction. Dr. Murphy came to McHenry about three years ago and now occupies offices in the old telephone building on Green Street." Andrew Worwiek, McHenry photographer, took the photo, from which tiie cover engraving was made.
