Mrs. Margaret Haemanil, pioaeer resident of McHenry townahip, and whose parents were among the first settlers at Johnsburg, pasSed away at her late" home in this village early last Friday morning, following an illness covering a period of two years in duration. Margaret Schmitt was born at Munk, Germany, a town near Mein and Coblenz, on Feb. 27, 1882, being the second oldest child of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Schmitt. At the age of ten her parents, with the family of five children, left their native country and set sail for America, the perilous voyage consuming seventy-two days. The craft hadn't been at sea but a few days when Mrs. Schmitt was taken quite seriously ill and for some days her condition was such that her dear ones gave up all hope of her recovery. It was during the crisis that the husband (and father of Mrs. Huemann) made a vow to erect a chapel upon his arrival in McHenry in case Mrs. Schmifct's life was spared. In fulfillment of this sacred vow the little chapel, which still stands near the Chapel Hill Country club, was erected by Mr. Schmitt the year following his arrival in this country. Upon the family's-arrival in America, they came direct to McHenry township, settling* on what is still known as the old homestead on the east banks of Fox river, near Howell's Villas. Here Mrs. Huemann grew to womanhood. She was united in marriage to John Huemanh in Johnsburg's first log church on September 14, 1864. The couple first went to make their home with Mrs. Huemann's parents, where they resided for a short time, when her husband purchased the farm almost directly across the river, and what is still known as the HuemaVin homestead. Here she continued to make her home until about twenty years ago, jvfyen her husband gave up farming an^l came to JfcKenry to reside. _ Mrs. Huemann was the mother of twelve children^ ten of whom are living, as. follows: Joseph, Jacob, Mrs. Katherine May and Mrs. C. M. Adams of Johnsburg; Nicholas, Fred, Rose and Mrs. Joseph Diedrich of this village; Hubert of Warren, Idaho; Mrs. Nick Freund of Chicago. She also leaves twenty-eight grandchildren, twenty-five great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild. The deceased was a devout Roman Catholic, a member of the Christian Mothers' society of St. Mary's church and up until the time that her age prevented same always took an active part in events given by and for the church. Like all others of that early type, she was a Woman of industry, honesty and kind hearted and above all other things was ever looking after the comfort and welfare of her family. The funeral took place from her late home on Elm street at two o'clock Sunday afternoon and thence from St. Mary's Catholic church, where the last rites were accorded her by the pastor, Rev. Chas. Nix.. Interment was made in St. Mary's cemetery. That there hasn't been a serious automobile accident within the corporate limits of the village thus far this season is a wonder when the carelessness of some drivers is taken into consideration. Auto traffic jams have been quite frequent during the past several weeks, especially at the intersection of Gr^en and Elm streets, but thus far McHenry has been lucky enough to escape a serious accident. Every once in a while a stranger is heard to comment upon the lax observance of speed and traffic laws in McHenry. One driver, on his way to Lake Geneva, Wis., is credited with the remark that McHenry is the only towr. he passed thru where he felt safe to travel at a good rate of speed without being stopped. As stated above, McHenry has been very fortunate in escaping as well as she has but we cannot expect to be lucky always. Owners of cars here at home should set an example by careful driving.
