The following article is clipped from the Lake County Independent: "Lake county people will be sur­ prised to learn of the death in Chicago on Sunday of Otto Muerhke, at one time one of the prominent leaders of the Democracy in western Lake coun­ ty, and who for years conducted the Muerhke hotel at Fox Lake. "His funeral was held at McHenry Henry Tuesday, Sept. 10, and his death was not generally known in Lake county. "Muerhke had worked for some time in a wholesale house in Chicago in the liquor department and, it is said, he had contracted consumption, which brought on his demise. v "Muerhke was well known for y&ars and for "a long time he made a success­ ful hotel proprietor. It was he who held the annual game dinners at his hotel for years, the mecca for poli­ ticians and the place where many good times were had by hundreds of Lake county men." McHenry friends Of Mr. Muerhke cannot understand the article. There is one thing that they are certain of and that is if Mr. Muerhke is dead he was not buried in McHenry, as stated in the article above. McHenry friends of the former Fox Lake hotel proprietor believe that there is a mistake somewhere and that Mr. Muerhke is still living.
