McHENRY, ILLINOIS ». fc. vf m- George and Paul Meyers Receive SeiNNfe Injuries 'Within Week One of the most unlucky • families in McHenry is that of George Meyers, the local teamster, whose two sons met with severe injuries within a week. The senior George Meyers, it will be remembered, has met with quite a number of Occidents during his residence in this village, the most severe of them befalling him a few years ago, when a heavy plank fell and hit. him on the head with such force that he hovered for days between life and death. The accident laid him up for several months. His eldest son, George, fell from a tree here a couple of years ago and broke both arms. At Elgin last Wednesday he again suffered a broken and two fractured ribs while unloading a telephone pole from a truck. He is employed as a lineman with the Chicago Telephone company and was also employed by the telephone company at the time he fell and broke both arms. This accident occurred in this village. Last Saturday morning ' Paul; Meyers met with a severe injury in Chioago. whei^ he is now employed by the Becker Roofing company. The accident occurred about 10:30 o'clock in the morning and as a result he is now confined in the county hospital in that city. Paul is employed by the company: as a truck driver, who sometimes assist their co-workers on roofing jobs. On this occasion he was at work on a roof of a two and one-half story building and while descending the roof ladder and in the act of passing* from there to an extension ladder the latter began to slip away from him along the eave troughs of the building, precipitating the worker to the cement sidewalk below. Fellow workers who'saw him fall rushed to him at once, expecting to find him dead, but fortunately he was alive and, strange as it may seem, still conscious. He was rushed' to the • county hospital, where, upon examination, it was found that hi? left arm was broken at the wrist, a dislocation of his right arm at thf wrist, broken left hip \ and severi bruises to his face. . • ' ' His brother, Phil, who resides i^ this village, and who is also employed by the same company, bUjt with another gang, arrived at th'i hospital about seven o'clock that evening and after a short wait wss able to see his brother when thfy were taking him to an operatir-g table. Paul was able to talk about the accident and told his brother that he knew the instant that he felt the ladder slip that he was about to meet with a severe , accidcnt. He threw out his arms and turned his head in1 his downward flight and in that way he believes that he saved himsejf from more severe injuries, if not death. Paul weighs a trifle over 200 pounds and the wonder is that he came out of it as luckily as he did. His fractured members have been put into a cast and word , from Chicago is to the effect that he will be removed to some other hospital just as soon* > as his condition will warrant it. His wife is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Pint of this village and reside at 2853 McLean Ave., Chicago. They have three children. The company by whom Mr. Meyers is employed insures all of their men and the company will, no doubt, see to it that he is given the very best of care while : confined at the hospital. All hospital and doctor bills will be borne by the insurance company, while hi.'j pay from the company will go on just *s if he -were working. McHenry friends sincerely hope that his recovery as well as that of his brother will he complete and speedy. Sugg«»tioa For Monument The Plaj.ndealer is in receipt of a letter from Geo. Conway of Detroit, Mich., wherein he submits a drawing for a soldiers' memorial for "McHenry. George served his country during the late war and enlisted while employed near this village and therefore his interest in McHenry and especially n monument for the boys. "While some sort of a memorial to the boys is sure to be erected here at some future time, tie committee feels that more funds must be secured before the work can go on. At a meeting held here some time ago it was decided to raise money for this fund during the winter months and we believe that this suggestion is ty be followed out in due time so that[ something definite along this line/ can be deeided cm by spring.

The second house stood on or near the spot now occupied by the house on Waukegan street occupied by Dr. and Mrs. A. I. Froehlich. A third house stood on the property now owned by Dr. C. H. Fepers. This house was built by Mr. Kimball's grandfather, The fourth, a school house, has long since given way to the Universalist church. A fifth house occupied the site now the home of Mrs. Michael Justen on Elm street. Just across the street from this was the Merriman property, now kne&n as the McHenry House. This was originally the old court house and was moved to this site following the removal of the county seat to Woodstock. At this time the place was being used as a hotel. The Henry McOmber house, south of the old laundry building, was the seventh frame building. This house still stands. The eighth was a little frame building which stood on the property now owned by the Masquelet estate on Elm street. This house was occupied as a residence by Mr. Kimball's parents in in 1850. The ninth was a stone blacksmith shop located where Selling's garage now stands. This shop was owned and conducted by the late Richard Bishop, who, besides conducting a general blacksmithing business, also manufactured plows. The power used in grinding the plows was furnished by a horse. Mr. Kimball was employed at the shop for a time, his duties being to drive the horse, for which he received three shilling a day. The tenth was a frame hotel building . which stood on the site now occupied by the Riverside. This was originally a log house, but a frame addition had been built to same before Mr. Kimball's arrival here. The hotel was then conducted by a family named Baldwin. It was destroyed by fire in the early fifties. The eleventh frame building still stands just across the street and south of the Riverside hotel and is now owned by Mrs. Nizzie Holly. The twelfth was a frame building south of the Lawless' block on Elm street. This was occupied as a harness shop and was conducted at the time by William Hankins, father of the Hankins brothers of Riverside fame. This building was moved in the early fifties arid is now the home of L. F. Newman and family. The next house in order was owned by Mrs. Gates and stood south of the present Anton Engeln building on Water street. The fourteenth was a frame hotel, which still forms a part of the J. J. Buch hotel property near the river bridge. The fifteenth and last of the frame houses occupied a site now owned hpr N. E. Barbian on Water street. Besides remembering every house and its exact location, Mr. Kimball also talked at some length regarding occurrences of fifty years at > Among other things he told of tinoriginal highway across Boone creek which crossed the stream at a point leading to what is now the south end of Park avenue, where the H. Wightman livery barn stood for many years. Many a time has he driven a team of oxen across Boon' creek at this point, he added. Hfr wrst pay for farm labor was $12.00 per month and this wage held good for a number of years. "And farming wasn't as easy work in those days, as everything was done by hand," he ventured. However, he admitted that it wasn't all work and no play as many are the good times that he was able to recall, and thus we complete our journey over a half century in McHenry township; Don't Throw Stones Now that a freeze-up of the mill pond is expected at any time parents are once more agked to warn their sons against the practice of throw ing .stones on the frozen surface.
