CHRISTINA SCHREINER DISS Had Been a Resident of Motor Many Yeai^ - •U Mrs. Christina Schreiner, for more than half a century a highly esteemed citizen of this city, passed away at her late home on Park ave., late Thursday evening, following an illness covering a period of six weeks duration. Prior to that time she had been in declining health but it was about six weeks before her death that she took to her bed. Christina Molidor was born near Johnsburg on Feb. 13th, 1861. Her lot was no different than that of scores of others who lived in those early days and through whose hardships, struggles and sacrifices assisted in their own individual ways, to assist in making history as it concerned the woods and rolling praries of this community. She remained with her parents and family until her marriage to Peter Schreiner which occured at Johnsburg some fifty-three years ago after which she came, with her husband, to establish a home in this city and where she has continually made her home every since. Mrs. Schreiner was the mother of ten children, five of whom are left to mourn her passing. Three of those who preceded her in death, passed away in infancy; Mrs. Albert Bristol passed away at Elgin some two years ago and one son, George, made the supreme sacrifice while in the overseas service of his country during the late world war. Her husband, a civil war veteran, passed to the greater beyond thirteen years ago. The surviving children are: Mrs. Albert Krause and Mrs. Joseph W. Bother* mel of this city: John Schemer of Elgin; Mrs. Patrickjtelleher of Elmhurst, 111., Mrs. Perc Molton of Joliet. There are also left, to mourn, eight grand children, one great-grand child and one sister, Mrs. John Glossen of Freeport, Minn. The deceased was a member of St. Mary's Catholic church and also the Christain Mothers' sodality and, with the exception of the past few years, she was active in her church as also the sodality. Mrs. Schreiner was a'woman of many good traits of character, outstanding among which was her great love for her children and her con stant devotion to them. She was always a kind neighbor and friendly to everyone. It always pleased her to be doing some little kindness toward others and never was she found missing when misfortune and sorrow had visited the homes of relatives, friends and neighbors. The funeral took place from her late home and thence from St Mary's Catholic church at 2:00 o'clock last Sunday afternoon with interment in the family lot in St. Mary's cemetery. The last sad rites were read and the sermon preached by Rev. Paul Germer, who is assisting Rev. Charles Nix. A very pleasing tribute to this good woman was the large assemblage of relatives, friends and neighbors who turned out at the funeral and in this visible manner showed their last earthly respects to one that they had so dearly loved and respected during the years she dwelleth Ik our midst. Those from a djjKvce who attended the funeral of the late Mrs. Christian Schreiner here last Sunday afternoon Were as follows: Mr. and Mrs. Sweetie, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph McDonald and children, Mr. and Mrs. Bert Bisnett, Mr. and Mrs. Perc Molton and daughter of Joliet; Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Smith, Mr. and Mrs. A1 Monroe, Ray Smith, Bert Driscol, Mrs. George Molton and John Schreiner of Elgin; Mr. and Mrs. Emil Schreiner Farewell SUMMER WE HMIE HA® IN A U)N0/ lAlft TIME.

Barnes said that Vint Lumley came to him with those indictasents on the Hoys and said he told him they were no good. Said he advised to take them to Charles Deneen or some other man. Said Lumley said, «C. P. I'd rather have your opinion than any other man.

Barbain, aged 21, former resident of McHenry, was killed Friday afternoon, when he accidentally came in contact with a high voltage wire in the Artifical Ice company in Chicago, where he had been employed since April 1. At about 1:25 in the afternoon Mr. Barbian was working in company with several others in the engine room of the plant.

He was a graduate of the McHenry high school and also attended theUniversity of Chicago, where he earned for himself membership in the Sigma Beta Phi. He was always one of the most popular boys in his class and was well known in other cities as well as in McHenry for his athletic ability.

Mr. and Mrs. Adams are spending their honeymoon on a tour through the northern states. good game for the Badger state team Rein went the balance of the way and while his mates worked frantically to regain the lead as taken by McHenry in the second inning and which they succeeded in doing in the fifth inning, Rein was unable to hold McHenry and as a consequence the battle soon developed into a see-saw struggle, first the visitors in the lead and then the home team and this continued until the sixth when Davison began to show some of his old-time form and held the home club safe. Davison, by the way, did not exhibit his very best wares in t the first six rounds and consequently was spanked quite regularly. He also walked three men and hit two of the enemy, which, all told, was not so good. And to make matters even harder for Jess, his battery mate, Kingsley, reported with a very sore digit. The member caased Kingsley so miich trouble and 'pain that he was forced to leave the game. His place, behind the plate, was then taken by "Shrimp" Tornquist, who came in from short, while Bailey, a late employee in the Florida league, but last year a regular oo the McHenry gang, took Tornquist's place at short. Considering all things, McHenry's lot was not the worst in the world. We won and that was enough.. All of the fans are willing to pverlook any and all shortcomings.

Brds In last week's issue of The Plaindealer an error was made in the Devoe Paint display ad, by placing the wrong dealer's name at the bottom. This error was made by an employee of this office. We desire to make a correction and inform the public that John R. Brda is the local dealer for Devoe paints. Mr. Brda carries a full line of this brand and they are good paints, too. Another ad appears in the columns this week. If in the market for paints, look it upw .• _ : : r NO. 15 FAMILY REUNION AT JOHN SCHAID HOME There was a very enjoyable family gathering at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Schaid on Green street on Sunday, when the brothers and sisters of both Mr. and Mrs. Schaid assembled so that they might all meet again, as they live considerable distance apart. After a sumptuous chicken dinner was served the afternoon was spent in recalling the olden times. Both families had their pictures taken in group. After a supper in the evening all the guests departed for their respective homes, assuring the host and hostess that this day would long live in their memories. Those present were: Mrs. Nick Van Dyke and daughter, Frances of Humphrey, Nebraska, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Karls and Mrs. Elizabeth Rothemel of McHehry, Mr. and Mrs. George Schaid and daughter, Lillian, of Griswold Lake, Mr. and Mrs. Math Glosson and daughter, Genevieve, and son, Elmer, of Sherman Hill, Mrs. Margaret Keisgen, Mrs. Elizabeth Knoll, Mrs. Mary Pekzosky, Mrs. Ida Bremer and Mr. and Mrs. William Schaid and son, William, of Chicago, Mr. and Mrs. John J. Schaid and family and Mr. and Mrs. John Molidor of VoUk crowd, who had left McHenry at various hours of the day, had no trouble in finding the beautiful room reserved solely for their comfort and decorated as was the rest of the building, with flags and banners of all sorts. At seven o'clock they marched in a body into the banquet room prepared for the "First Division" which consisted of Aurora, Libertyville, McHenry, and two or three other Kiwanis organizations. During the banquet the customary entertaining songs, speeches, and toasts were given and everyone was made to feel right at home. A very pleasing demonstration was given when the McHenry delegates came into the convention hall where the older Kiwanians had met at various times during the two days, September 15 and 16, to elect new officers and to prepare for the reception of new organizations. Seated in the very center of the large hall, the representatives of our city had a fine chance to hear and see the events of the evening. First occured the installation of officers when the recently elected officials took the places of those whose terms had already expired. Appropriate remarks and speeches given for the occasion. A very interesting program followed in which many of the prominent men of Illinois and Eastern Iowa took part. Lieutenant governor Ross of Toronta, Canada, gave a fine talk on "Internationalism," while Ray Crossman, international trustee, gave a very interesting speech on the "Message of the Kiwanians." Jules Brazil, Comical entertainer of the evening, took the crowd quite by storm and not one of the 1,800 present was unwilling to give him the credit of being the most original comedian ever seen, for he did not quote others, but used his own wit and talent to create something amusing. At the close of the program the district governor, Mr. McDavis, presented the Kiwanis charter to Mr. J. Scott Matthews who responded with a very clever speecly. An American flag was then given to the McHenry delegates by the neigh-, boring Kiwanians of Libertyville. The acceptance speech was very ably given by Vice President C. W. Stenger. Mr. Matthews closed the evening's ceremonies by giving one of the best speeches of the event as a boost for McHenry and the principles of the Kiwanians. The convention ended at 11 o'clock and the McHenry people completed the day's enjoyment by dancing for a while to the strains of the Oriole orchestra on the "Board walk" between the hotel and the lake front. ^ The entire aggregation from this city express themselves well pleased by the friendly spirit exhibited toward them by the other Kiwanians. Now that the organization has begun in earnest, it will not be long before others will join and it is hoped that the membership will soon be increased from thirty-five to fifty. The organization meeting of the McHenry Kiwanis club was held last Friday evening at the West McHenry State bank, at which most of the charter members were present. George W. Kimball, assistant secretary, from Chicago, was also present and outlined the work of the Kiwanis clubs. The by-laws were gone over and explained. Mr. Kimball made the statement that the Kiwanis is now larger than the Rotary and more widely distributed over the United States. It is non-political and non-sectarian. One interesting fact established by Mr. Kimball, and one feature wherein lies the strength of Kiwanis, is that the average attendance at the weekly meetings is 75 per cent of its membership. The local organisation was com* pleted by the election of seven directors and one district trustee. J. C. Thies being called to fill the latter jxjet. The seven directors chosen were: C. J.
