He was attending a family reunion and outdoor picnic given by Mr. and Mrs. Walter Patzke in honor of their brother, Harold and family of Ft. Meyers Beach, Fla. Mr. Patzke had suffered from a heart ailment for several years and at about 7:30 p.m. the heat and excitement took its toll and he collapsed in the midst of the gathering in the back yard. The inhalator squad from McHenry was summoned but the attending physician pronounced him dead upon their arrival. Full details as to Alfred Patzke is found elsewhere in this paper. The guest list of those attending the reunion is as follows: Alfred Patzke, Chicago; Mr. and Mrsj. Arthur Patzke, Elgin; Mr. and Mrs. Richard Patzke and I daughter, Michelle Ann, Round, Lake; Mr. and Mrs. Harold Patzke and daughter, SaU$T Ann, Ft.

Sportsmen's Club There will be a pheasant and ham shoot, sponsored by the club, Sunday, July 14, from 1 p.m. until? Jay Crick and his helpers are looking forward to seeing any and everyone who loves to shoot, out at the controlled shooting area at Rt. 120 and Ringwood road -- next to the gravel company. Every clay pigeon will be a colored one and that will designate your prize, be it a ham or a brace of pheasants. How good is your eye? Come and fill your larder. Along this same line; the club is honored to announce that John Krettler of Greenwood road has offered his services gratis for the raising to maturity of 750' pheasants for. the fall shoot. The cost of feed alone will be absorbed by the club. Mr. Krettler is a professional breeder -- all of his equipment is electrically controlled. These birds, plus the 750 now on hand will make interesting shooting this fall. Let's add, too, that all of the 3,000 seedling of jack pine, white, pine and multa flora rose planted on the shooting area to afford game coverage have taken hold. There are a few memberships still open for this controlled shooting area. Call 545-W-l or 1922. Our lake level is higher this season -- thanks to the combination of heavy rains and the "elbow grease" of the water shed committee of the club.
