The writer is Mike Lermer of Harrison school, Wonder Lake ) On Sept. 7. 1860, about 300 members of the Milwaukee Union Guards, a military organization, and their wives and friends loaded onto the popular cruise ship, Lady Elgin. They were leaving '"^Milwaukee for a day's excursion in Chicago. Little did they know that the return trip of the 300-foot sidewheel steamer would become one of the greatest tragedies in the history of Lake Michigan. That night there was a terrible storm coming. In sp­ ite of the weather, the Lady Elgin left port at Chicago to return to Milwaukee. At the same time a 350-ton schooner, the Augusta, was headed for Chicago. The vessel, which had no signal lights, was carrying a full load of lumber. At about 2 a.m., disaster struck. The Augusta hit the Lady Elgin port side, and-fc tore a large hole in the hull. The captain of the Lady Elgin, Jack Wilson, quickly ordered the crew to lower the lifeboats, row around the boat to check and, if possible, repair some of the damage.

Within five miles of the shore of Winnetka, the boat began to list and never regained an upright position. The vessel filled with water rapidly and sank in half an hour. As the boat sank, Captain - Wilson led about 40 people onto a piece of wreckage which had broken off the . ship. It is said that Wilson \ £ reassured people on the j ? makeshift raft that they ' would survive the storm A l t h o u g h h i s r e s c u e a t ­ tempts were courageous, in the end Wilson lost his life trying to save a drowning person. Another hero was Edward W. Spencer, a student from Northwestern university, who had hurried to the bluffs north of Evanston to help in the rescue. He swam out into the water time after time, and saved 17 people. Other people on shore broke the branches off of trees and ran out into the water as far as they could to help pull people in. Only about one fourth of the people on board the Lady Elgin were saved. The extent of the Lady Elgin tragedy has not been equalled on Lake Michigan Some years later, as a result of this and other ships' ac- c i d e n t s , m a r i t i m e regulations were improved, and water travel on Lake Michigan became safer.

Clinic At Hospital FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of October 29, 1931) The automobile of Frank Blake was stolen Thursday evening while they were in attendance at the play, "Henry's Wedding", at the high school. The car was parked in a line of cars on Elgin road near the school building. It was found the following day near the Steinsdoerfer farm at Griswold Lake, out of gas and stripped of everything which could possibly be removed. Hundreds of residents of McHenry and Johnsburg were aroused from their sleep about 12:30 a.m. Monday morning, the disturbance being caused by two explosions, the first at the Frank Nell resort, just east of the Johnsburg bridge, and the second, a few minutes later, at the home of Peter Engeln, east of the river at McHenry. Later, it was discovered that seven sticks of dynamite had been placed in the yard of John Engeln, but which failed to explode. The only ex­ planation offered thus far is that the explosions were a part of a beer war started in McHenry county. State's Attorney Lumley im­ mediately launched an in­ vestigation which has resulted in the arrest of a Chicago man who gives the name of Charles Smith. He is now confined in the county jail FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of October 30, 1941) Final payment of waived deposits on the West McHenry State Bank, West McHenry, has been authorized by Arthur C. Lueder, State Auditor of Public Accounts. The balance amounted to $18,922.73 on waived deposits, and makes a total of 100 percent returned. Following the banking moratorium of March, 1933, the depositors of the bank waived 40 Ipercent of their deposits, thus enabling the bank to resume business. The total waived amounted to $94,525.37. Holders of certificates are asked to present them at the bank at their convenience. James McAndrews left McHenry to begin his period of service after being in­ ducted into the Army. He was sent to Camp Grant until Saturday, when he was transferred to Fort Sill, Okla. Relatives and friends are anxiously awaiting word as to how he likes Army life. The former Wells building, located on the corner of Elm and Green streets, has been completely remodelled and after Nov. 1, Dr. A.I. Froehlich, City Clerk Earl R. Walsh and Attorney Vernon Knox will have of­ fices in the building. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of November 1, 1956) With enthusiasm for the approaching election at a high pitch and campaign speeches growing in number and intensity, large crowds are expected at the polls Nov. 6. At that time, not only will a president and vice- president of the United States be chosen but also men and women for other national and for state and county posts. It was disclosed that there are more than 40,000 registered voters eligible to make a choice of candidates in the county, indicating a possible all-time high in votes cast. One of the busiest spots in McHenry was the office of the local high school, where bids were accepted by the board of education on the new building to be con­ structed soon. Crowded conditions made a bond issue necessary some months ago, totalling $1,250,000. All of the bids ran higher than the budget under the bond issue allows, making it necessary for the architect to take them for the purpose of revising plans in accordance with the amount of money available. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of November 5, 1971) McHenry has long been aware that it can boast of one of the country's finest clowns in the person of Ken Schopp of McHenry Shores. This assessment was con­ firmed when Schopp received word from the Great Lakes Shrine Clown association that he was awarded first place trophy in competition with 390 other clowns at the Great Lakes Shrine convention . held recently in Toledo, Ohio. After considering different plans, McHenry's City Council voted to award a contract to Lakeland Con­ struction Co., to improve Center street, from John street to Kane avenue, at a cost of $37,032.91. Ap­ propriations under Motor Fuel Tax have been ap­ proved Numerous valuable ar­ ticles were taken from the Nick Miller home at 1513 N. Draper road, McHenry. Entrance was believed to have been made through an unlocked overhead garage door which allowed entrance to the attached residence. Lively contests are foreseen as great interest is evident in early filings for county supervisor. Thirty- four persons had filed petitions and more are ex­ pected before the deadline. Safety Hints i by Secretary i of State Jim Edgar Motorists who operate Citizens Band radios on Illinois highways are in a special position to offer help through CB assistance in many emergency situations. This major, large radio service is the only existing t w o - w a y , i n - v e h i c l e communications method available to the public at large. You can effectively use your CB system to relay information concerning emergency situations to responsible agencies or authorities. Channel nine normally has been reserved for emergency broadcasts and CB operators generally are standing by on this channel to offer assistance. Channel 19 most frequently is used by motorists traveling on our highways to supply weather and highway information, as well as directions in unfamiliar areas. Adherence to the rules of operating your CB radio helps to assure good communications and safer travel on the highway. If you have any questions about the Secretary of States's office, please feel free to use our toll-free telephone number (800-252- 8980).
