Saturday, February 18. An infant daughter was born on Thursday, February 9, and the death of the young wife and mother followed in a little over a week's time, due to peritonitis. Everything that medical skill could devise and loving and cheerful hands could administer was done,, but to ho avail, and the sweet young life passed out into the hands of her Maker. Esther Mary Miller was born in McHenry, 111., October 1, 1894, and was the third child of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Miller. She grew to young womanhood in the village of her birth and after her school period she accepted a position in the local telephone exchange in McHenry and where she was employed for over seven years as an operator, holding her position up until the time of her marriage to Raymond J.

And Jastly, and by no means least of her many womanly virtues, she was a mother, in every sense of Che word, and in the bloom of life she gave her all, never complaining, cheerful to the last One sometimes may doubt the wisdom and acts of an all-wise and Heavenly Father when a mother, who in her time of greatest need *to her family, is stricken and taken away. But such is the law of life and with faith we rise to the realization of the importance of leading a life of love and devotion to the principles of a true Christian spirit so that we can have that hope and' confidence, as did the deceased, in being prepared to pass on to that World Immortal. Thus we say, not ov^r wish, but Thine, 0 Lord, be done. The grief stricken family toft to mourn the early departing from this life of this precious soul are the husband and two small children, Donald, aged twenty-two months, and Jane, but 8 days old; the mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Miller of McHenry; a brother, Louis J. Miller of Woodstock; a sister, Mrs. Louis Smith, and a brother, Harold Miller, both of McHenry. Funeral services were held at the Catholic church in Woodstock Monday morning, February 20. Requiem high mass was said by Rev. Pather Conway. The bearers were: J. Conway, Frank Daly, James Green, Frank J. Green, John Karls and George Sullivan. Following the services the remains were conveyed to McHenry, where interment took place. The large attendance at the foiwrtl and the large number who followed the remains to their resting place was an evidence of the countless friends possessed by the deceased and her husband. The floral pieces were many and beautiful and were a mute testimony of the love and esteem with which she was held by all. Thus her life's chapter is closed, but her memory will forever linger with those she loved and who loved her implicitly. stricken husband and piece orchestra will furnish the music and the price of dance tickets is $1.00.

DIED AT ELGIN John Wegener Passed Away at Elgin State Hospital F: A! Brtler Has Worked Ha*d io Obtaining So^Many Signatursa to the Petition F. A. Beller, who has interested himself in route No. 20, the proposed state highway which passes thru this village, to such an extent as to canvass the village in an endeavor to secure signatures to a petition favoring the Waukegan street route, has completed the task and this week brought to this office for publication the petition as well as the names of the signers. After the publication in this paper the list will be taken to Springfield. It follows: ' "n fS Col. C. R. Miller, State Road Commissioner.'-';.'^^'"'. We, tiie undersigned, being residents of the Village of McHenry Illinois, (including West McHenry), County of McHenry and State of Illinois, respectfully petition that state road number 20, from Waukegan to Woodstock, be completed as soon as practicable. Especially do the people of McHenry wish to have this road extended from Volo due west through McHenry in as straight a line as possible, bringing the road along Waukegan street in McHenry. If we can do anything to co-operate to bring this road west from Volo we will do it and we stand as a united body of McHenry citisens for this road at the earliest possible time. McHenry, because of its location, is in the center of a great automobile traffic, in the summer months, leading to the Lake Geneva, Fox Lake, Pistakee Lake and many other lake regions, and we feel that the cement road as asked for herein will be of great benefit to thousands of travelers and is a necessity at the present time. We hope the state authorities, will givo us immediate action. '» v RespectfuBy, J. W. Smith, non-resident, but a theatre owner; C. G. Berner, shoemaker; John Vycital, hardware; M. M.
