Sherburne, in this village, on Tuesday afternoon, April 6, 1897, by*Rev. J. R. Clark, Clayton C. Harrison of Ringtrood and Miss Floiyi W. Sherburne of McHenry. j The McHenry Creamery company commenced taking in milk on Tuesday morning and in a few days expect to get in shape and everything running smoothly. The services of Chas The farm house of John May, onehalf mile north of Johnsburg, on what is known as the old Frett farm, was totally destroyed by Are, together with its entire tcontents, on Thursday afternoon last. The family barely ed what clothes they had on. The re was caused by a defective flue. About six o'clock on Thursday evening last our citizens were startled by that dread alarm of fire and in a few minutes the streets were thronged with men, women and children. The fire originated in an empty ice'house connected with what is known as the Howe block on the corner of Water and Pearl streets and before it was subdued it had destroyed the whole Howe property, consisting of seven buildings, including stores and residences; also the saloon building and residences o^ A. Engeln and the residence and barber shop of Geo. Rosenbergef on the south side of the prop- ! erty. It was only by the superhuman efforts of our citizens that our village was saved from total destruc tion. A strong northeast wind was i blowing and the burning shingles were (carried to the extreme portions of the village. During the time many build i ings were on fire. The Universalist church barely escaped destruction. In all six families" were made homeless, |viz., John Young, George Overocker |D. B. Woodburn, Fred Karls, Anton (Engeln and Geo. Rosenberger. Jos, I Bishop, who had a barber shop in the Howe block, succeeded in saving the most of his furniture. The spread of the fire was so rapid that yery little of the contents of the other buildings were saved and that in a badly broken condition. The losses are afe follows Anton Engeln, building, stock and furniture, $6,000; insured for $1,200 Geo. Rosenberger, building and furni ture, $1,500; insured for $600. G. F Boley, $500; fully insured. Howe block, $2,500; insured for $800. Hie loss of the tenants of the Howe block wiii probably foot up about $600 with no insurance.
