Thursday, January Jfi/ 196$ THE Iktcii^tY PLAINDEALER' Section One - W:- • "r !" |?.F5 This picture of the old Fred Justen hotel at the intersection of Elm Street and Riverside Drive, is of another era. The vin tage of the model cars shown above may give an indication of the year (if you are willing to admit you were part of it). The impressive structure, once a hub of activity when the Chicago-McHenry trip was more time consuming, is now the Riverside Hotel. . Long time residents of the city tell us that this corner onced housed a log cabin built by B. B. Brown. It was about 1864 that John Smith constructed the building which has overlooked so much local history for the past century. Mr. Smith was the grandfather of Mrs. Laura Smith Sprouse, now residing in Stanwood, Wash., and a relative of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Thompson. Mr. and Mrs. Clinton Martin and Earl Whiting of this vicinity. ' Editor's Note --'A family history of John Wire Smith came into our possession for a short time this week, and wo found its contents most interesting. SAFEGUARD YOUR HEALTH KNOW ABOUT NOSE DROPS Have Winter colds gotten you' into the habit of using' Hose drops? You may be soothing membranes this way--and inviting lipid (fatty) pneumonia, too! this disease can result when j mineral oil and other oily substances-- a common component in many nose drop preparations •--are "breathed" into the| lungs. Common victims are infants I who haven't yet learned to cough and adults whose cough [ reflex has been blunted by age or illness. A fairly large amount of nose drop dosage will trickle down into the respiratory tract of a normally healthy person, as well. Here the oils--which can't be absorbed by the lung tissue -- will collect and remain for an indefinite period. It is when they accumulate to a sizable degree that they interfere with air sacks and encourage infectiori. Signs of fatty pneumonia include fever, cough, labored breathing and chest pain. Oil droplets may be found in the sputum. An X-ray may show the shadows of oil deposits in the base of one lung or both. The best preventive measure is to use nose drops which are prescribed by your physician and to administer them in the proper way.. 1. Place /the patient on his back with his head tilted far back and turned slightly to the side being treated. / 2. Place the patient on his side--with ho pillow--allowing the solution to stay in contact with the membranes of the lower nostril for several' minutes before turning to the ofo posite side. He decided to try his fortune in Illinois in 1^41. He bought the log tavern owned by Brown, and in' February of 1843 moved his family there, still holding his farm at Griswold Lake, which to this day' can be seen near the bank of the lake. The tavern was £f mixed construction, with a frame building on the corner, the Upper story of which/"was used as a hall for dances and other purposes. McHenry at that time^ was the county seat of McHenry county, which included Lake county also. This hall had been used as a court room and there was a log jail under it, but at the time John W. Smith took possession, another building was used as a court house. During court, the tavern was full and beds were made on the floors to accommodate the lodgers. Many noted lawyers and judges were in attendance, some travelling long distances, for their circuit was large. In this way, J. W. Smith made the acquaintance of a large number of men of his time. He was postmaster during the time he occupied the tavern. The mail was brought once a week on horse back from Chicago,' the mail carrier going as far north as Janesville. Postage at that time was twenty-five cents per letter, paid by the receiver. There was no bridge across Fox river then, but at a ferry just below the tavern a scow was used as a ferry boat and was "poled" across the stream. There were no Indians then living In that part of the country, but at certain times of the year, numbers of them came down the riyer in canoes, hunted and fished as long as they pleased and then returned to Wisconsin. Sometimes small parties strolled around the country and into the homes of the settlers. COURT BRIEFS William V. Haynes of McHenry pleaded not guilty to disorderly conduct and his trial date was set for Feb. 2. In Branch III Court, with Magistrate Joe Ritter presiding, William Dreyer of McHenry was fined $100 (suspended) for violation of ordinance, $15 costs and one year probation. Dennis Meyer of Palatine, in the same court, was charged with possession of alcoholic liquor in a motor vehicle and received a $50 fine and $15 costs. Michael McEvoy of McHenry was charged with acceptance of alcoholic liquor by person of non-age and was fined $50 and $15 costs.
