H.; Dec. 5,1810 and died March 25th, 1897, consequently was 86 years of age. His father died in Jknnary 1818 and he went to live with an uncle, remaining with him seven years/ He then, (when only 15 years of age) went to Boston, walking the greater part of the way. He worked several years in the ship yards as carpenter, and for several year# in Baltimore and New York, in July 1837, at the age of ^7 years, h^ came to Illi­ nois, crossing the lakes on the old steam­ er ^olumbus/' landing in Chicago when that city was only a small hamlet. He crossed the Chicago river in a flat-boat, there being no bridges across the river at that time. He came directly to McHenry county, taking up a claim. Shortly afterward he went to New Orleans, where he worked at ship build­ ing for five years. 'Returning to\Mc­ Henry county he was married to Caroline Colburn, Sept. 27,1846, who died Oct. 1, .1853. Two children were born to them. He was married again to Phabe Haley, J uly 2,1854, who died Dec. 28, 1894, a little more than two years^tgo. Six daughters blessed their union, one dying in infancy and Elma dying May 20,. 1881, aged 19 years. The remaining children were all present at the funeral, which occurred at his late residence, at Ringwood, on Sunday, March . 28, Rev. Slade, of Elgin, former Uuiversalist pas­ tor at McHenry, officiating, assisted by Rev. Straub, the present pastor. Not­ withstanding the extremely bad con­ dition of the roads, there was a large at­ tendance. His death was from heart trouble, after an dllness of four weeks, and took place March 25. TEMPERANCE LECTTRE." By request of the ladies of Richmond, Rev. W. J. G. Meehan will deliver a tem­ perance lecture on Sunday evening, April 4, 1H97, at the Opera House, in Rich­ mond. It is needless to add anything regarding Father Meehan's lecture, for he is not only well known as a pleasing speaker but he is most favorably appre­ ciated by all Americans in McHenry as an advocate of that grand cause. All are invited. All are welcome. Come one and all and fill the Opera Hall In the words of Archbishop Ireland, "Onward, friends, let temperance be your war cry. Let others who know you better than I do and who are less confiding than I in your intelligence and your true sense of religion, talk to you of going slowly. I bid you go with the wings of.electricity." COM, Secured Good Positions The many friends of George G. Smith, of this village, and his estimable wife, will be pleased to learn that they have received lucrative appointments, under the new administration, at the Northern Hospital, at Elgin, and will enter upon their duties April 1st. At a meeting of the new Board of Trustees, held at the Asylum on Tues­ day of last week, George G. Smith was appointed Storekeeper, and his wife third assistant Supervisoress. They are both fully qualified for the positions to which they have been chosen, and as we said before, their many friends will rejoice at their good fortune. EVERY human heing, however small, and insignificant, has a place to fill and a great work to do that no one else can do for him. There is always some aching brow that we can sooth; some rugged pathway to bemade more easy to travel; some heavy burden that we can assist our fellow traveler in carrying up the hill of life, and some dark life that is bpvved down with gri^f and despair, that we can brighten. Every one has his place and vocation and it rests with him­ self to find them. Be new, in every sense of the word; find your places and go to work, for life at best is short and what we do must he done now, for to-morrow may be too late. Hone6t, true men are what the world wants to-day and "pre­ tension is always despicable," it matters not from whom it comes. Beautiful Sea Shells. Every one admires them.

All you wBo pass by the way look and see if your sorrow is like unto mine;" Again the destroying angel hasentered the home, and taken to Heaven the youngest flower and son of William Doherty. Through the parental. hives of, his heart there is a sad wave of trouble which by no means has abated, and the ark of his felicity sees no land. Yes, long before the dove goes forth to return with the olive leaf of hope it has pleased God to call his baby boy, thus adding a great deluge of trouble--one that would crush a Csesar, or, in the European countries, if it should be, a potent monarch. It would throw a nation into a gloom of weeping, and the inhabitants would bedeck themselves in black to show their sorrow. The silken thread is snapped, for this little rose bud is wanted in Heaven to adore his Creator, for in His wordB, Suffer little children to come unto me." In all truth it is sad. Yet why should a parent regret that his son was summon­ ed to sing celestial hymns with the Cherubim, the Seraphim, the Thrones, the Dominations, the Principalities,' and the Powers, who incessantly chant the praises and adoration with one sweet, melodious, angelic voice, Holy, Holy, Holy God. We are by no means harder in heart than the rich monarch, but we christians, believe in an all-wise and omnipotant God who gives and takes, hence we must profoundly bow to His holy will, and it is this which causes the unavailing tear to be dried. Oh God it is a beautiful thing To see the immortal soul take wing, Good bye, proud world, I am going home To abide with Jesus aud Him alone. The angel of death is roaming through the laud, Can yoU not almost hear his wing beating in its flight? Therefore be prepared, for we know not the hour when he comes. Go where you will, let this be your thought. Take Jesus as your model and His cross as your standard. The false lights of a vanishing world dazzle many men, but in God fhey shall find the light which is immutable and it shall never fail for it is fed from the heart which was pierced on Mount Calvary, hence it will shed its rays forever till the apocalyptical angel proclaims that time shall be no more. Keep your houses garnished and filled with precious virtues humility, charity and fraternal love. Keep your lamps trimmed and burning till the midnight hour. Refresh your­ selves with^a good conscience. By so doing death will have charms greater than all terrestial triumphs and it will gleam infinitely higher than the valleys of sorrow. The leaves have their time to fall, The flowers to wither at the north wind's call, But God being the creator of all, Death ushers us into His celestial hall. The funeral took place at 3 p. M. Sat­ urday. The dear little one was buried from St. Patrick's church, in this village. Rev. W. J.G. Meehan accompanied the remains to the tomb singing the Canticum Zacharial, Miserere Mei l)eus Psalm 50, aud the Deprofundis Psalm 129. We unite in sympathy with Wm Doherty in his bereavement and do hope in unison with the prayers of his depart­ ed wife and angelic child that the sun of his felicity is about to dawn in the near future which is the sincere wish of his many, many friends. COMMUNICATED. OBITUARY. MRS. WILLIAM PAGE died March 22nd, 1897, at the home of her daughter, Nettie, in Chicago, after a short illness of three days. , She had been troubled with stomach and nerve trouble of long standing, which terminated in the en­ largement of the liver, which in time af fected the heart, causing death to come suddenly. She was of an extremely ner­ vous temperament, which bore hard on her after the death of her husband in June, 1896. Grandpa Page said, just be­ fore he died, that "grandma would not live a year after he was gone " iNine .months has only passed to fulfill his statement. She had no desire to pro­ long her days and often expressed her willingness to go and meet the loved ones who had gone before. She was a christian in the true sense, and though she made no outward public profession except as a communicant of the M. E. Church, of which sbe was a member for many years. She was a constant bible reader, and emulated the teachings of the meek and lowly Jesus in herhomelife. She was born in Yorkshire, Ergland, in 1826, coming to New York when 7 years of age. Has been a resident of Illinois 41 years. She is next to the last of the older Harrison family, having one sister still living in Pennsylvania. She married Wm. Paige, in Rome, N, Y., in 1848, and was the mother of eight children, five of whom are living to mourn her loss. She was a loviDg mother, Who knew a mother's love, With tenderness and affection, That comes only from above. Her heart was with her children, Her thoughts for them to care; Their likes were hers to cherish, Their ills were hers to bear. She was buried in the family lot at McHenry, Rev. Clark officiating.
