JACK (LORETTO) WALSH planning. ; McCarthy, psychotherapist, of il Lake, will talk of women's As Women's History Week, March 6-13, is coming to an end, it seemed fitting to the McHenry Business & Professional Women's club that in addition to citing the ac­ complishments of 10 "'Remarkable American Women" they should also pay tribute to one of the truly "Remarkable McHenry Women". A good example is Mrs. Jack (Loretto) Walsh, who was born in 1873 and raised on Irish Prairie (located around the area that is now known as McHenry Shores). During a period of time when it was unusual for children to attend school beyond the early grade school level, she was a member of the first graduating class of McHenry high school in 1892. At that time, both grade and high school students attended school in a brick building which was later taken over by St. Mary's church. The school now known as Landmark was built in 1894. Mrs. Walsh taught in a one-room country school located on Barreville road on Irish Prairie at a starting wage of $18 per month. For tran­ sportation, she rode horseback to the school and started her own fire in the building except on occasions when the late Walter Bolger, who resided across the street from the school, took pity on her and had the wood stove going strong when she arrived early in the morning. She also taught for some time at a school near Hartland, 111. which was quite a trip from McHenry. In September of 1900 she became the bride of Jack Walsh, who served as McHenry's only policeman, and they made their home on the corner of Main and Third streets, residing there all of their married lives. At the same time, she quit her teaching job (not by choice, but because at that time it was mandatory that a married woman could not teach) and raised four children, Ellen, Pender, Earl and Katherine. Mrs. Walsh, undaunted by her inability to pursue her career as a teacher, diverted her interests and boundless energy to civic pride, working for the betterment of the town and schools. Her deep com­ passion for the poor and needy was evident especially during the depression years when she gave much of her time to acquiring clothing and food for those in need. She was also always available to offer comfort to the bereaved and troubled. Mrs. Walsh had been president of the early McHenry high school PTA; president of the Woman's club; was active in religious organizations at St. Patrick's Catholic church; and utilizing her love for writing, covered general news for the McHenry Plaindealer a couple of days a week. She was chairman of the local Red Cross chapter for 25 years, en­ compassing WWl and WW II; had groups of ladies meet in her home to knit sweaters, socks and wristlets for soldiers; and did much traveling for that organization. Proving to be a woman far ahead of her time, Mrs. Walsh was extremely influential in the passage of a bond issue to build the McHenry Com­ munity high school building, which is now East campus. Daring to take any risk for what she believed in, she. publicly took a stand at rallies and spoke before various groups in behalf of the issue. Her sincere concern for people and local activities was expressed until the time of her death in 1959 at the age of 86 years.
