Hnemann Had Figured In Mc- Henry's Business Life For Mere Than a Quarter of a Century •Nicholas A. Huemann, who for more than a quarter of a century has been classed among McHenry's successful business men, passed away at his late home on the corner of Elm and Court streets at ten o'clock last Saturday morning following a three months' confinement to his home. Nicholas Alexander Huemann, son of - the late John and Margaret Huemann, was born on the o}d family homestead on the west shore of Fox river, about twc> miles north of this village, on Feb. 15, 1889. Here he was reared and grew to manhood. He attended the parochial school at Johnsburg, made his first communion and-was confirmed at St. John's Catholic church at that place. Early in life he acquired an ambition to became a clerk and when seventeen years of age he gained the consent of his parents to go out and realize his ambitioti. He came to McHenry, where he secured employment at the general store of Perry & Owen; which at the time was located in the building now occupied by the McHenry bakery. Thru faithful service he continued in their employ until 1896, when the firm sold out to Owen & Chapell. He also worked for a short time for the latter named firm. In 1895 he and his brother, Hubert M., opened a jewelry and music store in the building now occupied by the J. E. Hauswirth shoe repair shop. It was not, however, until the following year or so. that the subject of this sketch took an active part in the conduct of this business. In 1897 Mr. Huemann acquired his brother's interest and later on took into partnership the late Joseph Schneider. Some years later he disposed of his interests in the business to his,partner, Mr. Schneider, when he opened up a new store on the West Side. The business on the West Side developed quite rapidly, until he had found that same had outgrown the THE NEW CONSTITUTION To Be Explained Here By R. H* Brandon Monday, Evening Thru the efforts of the Community club of McHenry the voters of this community will be given the opportunity of having the new constitution explained to them at aeneeting which is scheduled to take place at the Empire theatre hare next Monday evening.

The attendance, considering the very inclement weather, was very good. In fact, the splendid turn out gave evidence that the long vacation had not dampened the interest of the members in the least nnd if the opening meeting may be taken as a tions in the present condition in order {criterion future meetings of the club to obtain the best results in govern are sure to develop into much good mental affairs. Some time ago, thru the efforts of some of our leading men, it was recommended to call a constitutional convention for the purpose of examining and, if necessary, redrafting of the constitution. As a result of this agitation a constitutional convention was called and delegates were elected te undertake the work. They have been engaged for nearly three years in serious and exhaustive study of the questions involved. The delegates to that convention were from all sections of fhe state and represent practically all elements. While the document they have presented may not be perfect, it is believed by many that the proposed new constitution, taking in all details, will reach far better results in obtaining the good administration of government £han the present one does. Rodney H. Brandon, supreme secretary of the Loyal Order of Moose, with headquarters at Mooseheart, 111., and who was one of the delegates to said convention, has kindly consented to speak to the men and women of this community upon the new constitution on the evening above mentioned and it is hoped by the officials of the McHenry Community club that the theatre will bo well filled on that occasion. . The election for the ratification of the new constitution will take place on December 12 and in order to vote little frame quarters he first occupied intelligently everyone should be First Methodist Church The Sunday school will meet promptly at ten o'clock. The classes are progressing splendidly with their work, indicating the good all-round effort of our teachers.

Observed Armistice Day Besides the two bdnks, a number of other business houses and concerns in the village observed Armistice day by the closing of their respective places of business last Saturday. Old Glory decorated most of the business houses and many of the private residences. There was no special observance in McHenry. Taps were blown on our streets at eleven o'clock by J. E. Hauswirth, who was accompanied by two ex-service men. • • *v Attend Funeral at Green Bay Mrs. Hubert Freund, Mrs. Jacob F. Justen and John Meyer of this village and Mr. and Mrs. Joseph J. Schmitt of Spring Grove attended the funeral of their aunt, Mrs. John Mies, at Green Bay, Wis., last Friday. They left for the Wisconsin city on Thursday and returned home last Saturday evening. Saw "The Perfect FaaP* The members of the Just Us club of this village enjoyed a theatre party in Chicago last Friday night, when they saw Ed. Wynn in "The Perfect Fool" at the Illinois theatre.

A cordial invitation is extended to all. Tickets, 90 cents; tax, 10 cents; total, $1.00. and which has been supplanted by the present modern business block erqgted by him some years ago. Mr. Huemann was unmarried and devoted his entire life to his aged parents and sister, Rose, with whom he made his home during these many years. His strict integrity in the conduct of his business, his ever willingness to please his customers and his true obedience to the laws of God and nature are only a few of the many rich traits of character he possessed. Altho he had autos and motor boats, he never seemed more content than within the circle of his loved ones and therefore found little to interest him outside of his place of business and his home. i His greatest activity outside of his store and home was given over to St. Mary's Catholic church, of which he was a member ever since its foundation in McHenry. Here he was never found wanting when it came to fairs or other social doings and no matter what his assignment may have been he was always found at his post of duty and did whatever he could to bring the occasion to' a successful conclusion. He is survived by four sisters and five brothers, as follows: Mrs. Katherine May, Mrs. C. M. Adams, Joseph H. and Jacob of Johnsburg; Mrs. Joseph Diedrich, Fred W. and Rose of this village; Hubert M. of Wallace^ Idaho, andMra. Mary Freund of Chicago. The funeral iool^ place from his late home and thence from St. Mary's Catholic church at ten o'clock on Monday morning of this week with Rev. Charles S. Nix, the pastor, officiating. A most fitting tribute was paid the deceased by the pastor during the sermon which followed the celebration of requiem high mass. The remains were laid at rest in the family lot in St. Mary's cemetery. Cartoonist Buys Home at Lake Geneva Our people as well as hundreds of summer resorters along this summer resort region will be surprised to learn that Sidney Smith, who with his family has been spending the summers at his home at Howell's Villas, on Fox river near this village, has purchased a new home at Lake Geneva, Wis., where the family will spend their summer vacations in the future. Mr. Smith has been one of the active members of the Chapel Hill Country club and is also a member of the McHenry Country club and lie and his estimable family will bo greatly missed here in the future. posted. Come out next Monday night and hear just what the changing of the constitution really means to the people of#tis great state of ours. An invitation is extended to both men and women voters of McHenry and community. HOME TALENT ENTERTAINMENT To Secure Christmas Tree Fund} Next Thursday Evening A home talent entertainment, the proceeds of which arc to be deposited in the community Christmas tree fund, is to take place at the McHenry school gymnasium on Thursday evening of next week, #Nov. 23. » The committee in/ charge of the coming entertainment is doing everything within reason to bring the event to a financial success. The program to be presented will be varied and is sure to please those who attend. The girls of the school will also conduct a home-made candy booth. The cause is a worthy one, indeed, anct the efforts of the committee to raise money in this manner should have the co-operation of our people in general. In fact, the school auditorium should be filled to overflowing next Thursday evening. First Universalis* Church Once the enemies of the church called it an angel factory, and the epithet was at least in some measure deserved. The great hope of the Christian was to escape from this life for the community at large. In calling the meeting together, President W. L. Howell expressed great pleasure at seing so many present and hoped that the same cooperative spirit that had prevailed in the past would continue in the future. On account of the fact that the first meeting was an open one, roll call was omitted, altho it is estimated that more than fifty members were present. After calling upon* a report vfrom the various committees, the chair asked if there was any new business and if so time would be given over to discussion of same. The chairman then called upon the secretary, Peter M. Justen. m Mr. Justen expressed the thought that it is now an opportune time for the men and women voters of McHenry and vicinity to become acquainted with the new strte constitution which will be up for ratification at a special election to be held on Dec. 12. He believed it the general rule that people everywhere in the state were uninformed as to the new constitution 'and that a talk along these lines from some one posted on the matter would not be out of order. After a twenty minute discussion on the matter, it was finally voted to instruct tile secretary to invite a speaker to McHenry next Monday evening? Another notice regarding the meeting will be found elsewhere in this issue of The Plaindealer. While the sewerage proposition was touched upon, arguments were very short. In fact, if there were any opponents to the improvement present at the awaiting they failed to let themselves be heard. One of the matters which eama up for a lengthy discussion was that of tl^ proposed cement road from Volo to McMenry, thru, this village, and thence on to Woodstock. The various1 discussions • brought out the information that m bid onnsaction l& had>been opened in the office of the state highway department on the 30th day of October, but there seems to be a great deal of misunderstanding as to the location of that particular section on route 20. > Some of those who- were heard to express themselves were of the opinion, that it was the Volo-Mc- Henry* strati h that had been up for letting,*white others felt just as certain that the stretch referred te was that lying beween Thompson's corners, in Greenwood township, and Sherman's hill west of town. It is an established fact that surveys on route 20 stop at the Mrs. Kennebeck farm on the east and Sherman's hill on the ifest and, while several sur veys have been made thru the village^ no definite route has yet been chosen. Simon Stoffel, in explaining this situation, told the gathering that the governor and state highway department had made the survey in this manner so as to give the people of McHenry an opportunity to decide into another. He knew the evils of just where they wanted the road lothis life, but since he knew nothing of j cated in passing thru our municipalthe next he dreamed it would be; ity. Two petitions, signed by several AUTO SKIDS AND HPS OVER Ralph Bitter, One of the Victims, Is f Rushed to Chicago Hospital Ralph Ritter, son of Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Ritter of this village, lies at„the West Side hospital in Chicago suffering from a severe spine injury as the result of an automobile accident in which he and four companions, all from this village, figured shortly after two o clock last Sunday afternoon. The five young men left McHenry shorty before two o'clock in a Ford touring car owned by F. L. Newman and driven by his son, Bernie. Others in the party besides the driver and Mr. Ritter were Thomas McCabe, Joseph May and William Kennebeck. The machine was headed for Crystal Lake, where the boys had planned to pass the afternoon. On reaching a point near the small bridge at the foot of Pain's hill, just this side of Crystal Lake, the driver suddenly lost control of the wheel and before the occupants of the machine had time to realize what was happening the auto struck the railing of the bridge and then turned over. Of the five William Kennebeck was the first to extricate himself from beneath the car and within a very short space of time all of the young men had been assisted from the wreckage. On reaching Mr, Ritter, however, his companions found that he was helpless and at once realized that he had been more or less seriously injured. Two of the boys ran up the hill and to the nearest farm, where they asked for help. The farmer started right out with his car, but had scarcely reached the top of the hill when he discovered that he was out of gasoline. A passing car, occupied by two Elgin young men, took Mr. Ritter into their machine and rushed him to the office of Dr. Hull at Crystal Lake. After giving the young man, who was found to have been partially paralyzed, first aid, the Crystal Lake physician prepared him for a trip to the West Side hospital in Chicago, to which city he was taken on a $rain leaving Csystal Lake about six ojclock in the evening. Late word from the Chicago hospital is to the effect that * altho the young man's injuries are very severe there is a possible chance of his- recovery. His parents have been with him almost constantly since he was taken to Chicago. Just what caused Mr. Bitter's injury none of his companions are able to explain. He was riding in the rear seat of the car and sat between Kennebeck and May, both of whom escaped with but a few alight scratches and bruises. The driver of the car escaped injury, but young McCabe, who occupied the front seat, received quite a severe injury to his eye and was more or less bruised. In fact, his companions rescued him from his perilous position underneath the machine just in time, as he was almost strangled when aid was given him. The car which figured in the mishap is a total wreck and in viewing it one wonders how any of the occupants escaped with their lives. Mr. Ritter is very popular among the younger set of McHenry, is a valued employe of- the Terra Cotta factory and his many friends thruout this section feincerely hope that his injuries will not prove as serious as first thought and that he may soon recover. fffflS OF.

For most of these the future is dark, or at any rate, blank, j the powers that be to understand just Hope is gone, and hbpe is one of the where McHenry does want the road.

Mr. Stoffel urged that our people get together, agree on one route that will do the greatest number of people the most good and then ask the state to go ahead and build the road. The vote affirming Mr. Stoffel's suggestion was unanimous. Supervisor Stephen H.

Apparently there are nu>te inliMtt this fall than has been the case in years. At least one would draw this conclusion on hearing local hunters tell of their baggings. The increase in the number of cotton tails is undoubtedly due to the fact that there were few severe rain storms during the early part of the season. Wet weather usually drowns many of the young rabbits during the spring of the year. f The Plaindealer has been asked to correct an erroneous report which has been circulated about the village during1 the past week in regard to the closing for the season of the MeHenrg Country club course.
