Dr. Keller is by no means a stranger in Mcgenry, as his profession has brought him to this village for more 'than twenty year past. Altho his Chicago business has" grown to such proportion that most- of his time is now spent in that city, he has decided to spend Sunday and Monday of each week at his country home here, and for the convenience of those desiring to consult him he will maintain an office hour at his home from 2:00 to 3:00 o'clock on Monday afternoon of each week. Altho his home here is still uncompleted, the work has advanced to such a stage as to allow the eye specialist to install his equipment and render service to those desiring same. Since acquiring the river property Dr. Keller has spent several hundred dollars in trees and shubbery, while other improvements on the place are being made daily. A radio receiving set is to be installed in the home very shortly, which, together with a chimes clock already installed, will make the home a pleasant one indeed.

While at the steering wheel of his tractor at work in an adjacent field the fatal accident which caused instant death occurred. A nearby neighbor had just left him to go to his barn for a horse to aid in piling the tractor out of a gully from which the engine was powerless to extricate itself. It is the belief that in a desperate effort he released the disc from the tractor, the engine overturning and pinning its occupant underneath. Neighbors end physicians were quickly summoned to the scene, but their efforts to restore life were in vain and the strength of the home went out. A jury was impended for an inquest, which was held immediately, and a verdict of accidental death was returned. Guy Leslie Clemens was born in McHenry March 23, 1874, and was a lifelong resident of the farming community adjacent to this village on Crystal Lake road, where he enjoyed the respect and esteem of all, being closely associated with neighbors, whom he always counted- among his staunchest friends. On March 16, 1904, he was married to Miss Stella Nordquist, who preceded him in death on November 13, 1910. Five children were born to them, three of whom survive him, namely, Ralph, Gertrude and Clarence, together with his aged mother and an only sister, Miss Nellie, who will now assume added duties in the home and guidance of the -bereaved children. Less than two years ago the father of the deceased died quite as suddenly, the patient son reassuming his service and protection in the home, the weight of which must now be borne by the sorrowing mother and heartbroken sister, who is bereft of her constant companion. Funeral services yere held at the home on Sunday afternoon. Rev. Frank D. Adams, pastor of the Universalist church at Elgin, officiating. During the course of his eloquent ^ermon he recited the poem at the clos.e of this obituary, which proved very consoling to the loved ones who cherish the memory of a devoted and exemplary father. Interment took place in Woodland cemetery, the pallbearers being selected from sympathetic neighbors who mourn his loss. They were W E. Whiting, Chas. L. Page, Chas. W. Gibbs, Geo. T. Capon**, ** F. Vasey and C. R. Draper. Beautiful floral offerings, carrying with them cards inscribed with messages of condolence frorn many friends, covered the grave of the departed. * "I cannot say, and I will not say That he is dead, he is just away! With a cheery smile and a wave of the hand He has wandered fail# an unkrtwn land And left us dreaming how very fair It needs must be, since he lingers there, And you--oh you, trim the wildest yearn For the old ttee step and the glad return, Think of him faring on, as dear In the love of there, as the love of here, Think of him still as the same I say, "He is not dead--he is just away.

The boat is being constructed for passenger service on our river and will be added to those already owned and operated thru this summer resort region by the Hunter boat line. The public is invited to call at the factory at any time, where someone will be pleased to show you the big water craft.

Russell, John Her zing and Henry Pasfield, drainage commissioners of district No. 1, Wauconda. It is claimed that the drainage commissioners neglected their duty and did not keep the outlets and other drainage facilities in proper condition and working order. During the past eight years, every time it would rain, water would rise on the Fisher land and wash out the crops. After real heavy rains, the water would rise over the fence posts. This practically flooded the crops and caused the Fishers great loss. They are bringing suit against the commissioners for $7870 to cover the losses caused by flooded conditions. Frank Hironimus, Wauconda, is also bringing suit against the same commissioners on similar grounds. He states that the drainage was neglected by the commissioners and that he sustained losses amounting to $7870 during the past eight years. ^1? . 4 • --~ • vt" Escaped Serious Injury ^ ' ^ Fred Cossman, second son of William Cossman, who resides on the Woodstock road, west of this village, met with painful injuries one day recently when a team he was driving ran away and threw the driver onto the C. & N.

Dherrard of Oak Park, who, besides being an enthusiastic member of the society, is also one of our esteemed summer residents, having a cottage at Pistakee Bay, where he and his estimable family have been enjoying the summer seasons for sonrfe years.

HoWell will have his receiving set at the hall, which assures the gathering excellent entertainment. Respect Traffic Laws Ifeir that the busy season is again upon us Officer Jack Walsh has asked The Plaindealer to warn automobile drivers to hereafter respect the village traffic laws, especially the ruling which applies to the guide posts. The guide posts are simply a safety measure and every driver of an automobile should not only be willing to go around the right side of these posts while rounding a corner, but should also slow down to the proper speed. If every driver of an automobile will abide by the traffic laws of this village we are sure that then will be no trouble. ^ Saw Opening Game at Genoa Quito a large number of local fans saw the opening game of baseball at the State Line park near Genoa Junction, Wis., last Sunday afternoon, when the State Liners defeated the Bossing Billiards of Kenosha 4 to 3 in a most interesting contest.
