HOMER WATTLES Given a Tory Pleasant Surprise On Gold­ en Wedding Anniversary. Golden weddings are beginning to be quite common in this vicinity and today we have the ^extreme pleasure of an­ nouncing the third anniversary of this nature to be celebrated in this vicinity within one month's time, and in each instance the old people are enjoying the best of health, considering their ages. The last of these three anniversaries took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Wattles last Saturday, November 4, the event being kept a secret to the chief participants, Mr. and Mrs. Homer Wattles, who were «*iven an invitation to spend the day with their son, F. H. The surprise was a most complete one, as neither of the old folkB was aware of what had been planned weeks ahead nntil they entered the home where they were met and greeted by about forty relatives. Althoug shocked by the un­ expected sight which greeted them the victims soon overcame their nervousness and joined in the festivities. The house was most beautifully decorated with yellow and white chrysanthemums. When the noon hour had been reached the guests sat down to a very sumpt­ uous repast which had been prepared for'them by Mrs. F. H. Wattles. The afternoon was also spent in merrymak­ ing, making it one of the most pleasant days ever spent by those present. Many beautiful as well as oc^tly presents were left to the elderly couple as a kind me­ mento of the rare occasion. Mr. Wattles was born at Sidney, Del­ aware county. New York, July 5, 1881, making him seventy-four years of age. He grew to manhood in New York state and at the age of 20 years decided to come West, which he did in the fall of 1851, settling in McHenry. For two years he worked on farms about Mc­ Henry and also assisted in the construc­ tion work when the railroad went through. His next venture was to pur­ chase a farm three miles weBt of town which he successfully worked for a term of several years. On Novenber 4, 1865, at the home of A. H. Hanly (home now occupied by Hanly Bros ) he was united in marriage to Miss Libbie Sherman, the ceremony being performed by J. R. Mack, who was at one time pastor of the Universalist church in this village. Mrs. Wattles is also a native of New York state, having been born at Volney, Oswego county, New York, January 29, 1829, making her 76 years of age. At the age of ten years, she; in company with her parents and another family from New York, als o came West, com­ ing here by wagon. It was a most tire­ some journey bnt in those days over, land journeying was all the rage as rail­ roads were not too plentiful. The Sher­ man family settled on the farm now oc­ cupied by Clifford Sherman, on what is known as Sherman's hill. She made her home here up until her marriage to Mr. Wattles. After their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Wattles continued to work the farm which the former had previously pur­ chased, up until 1868 when they dis­ posed of it and purchased the farm now occupied by Arthur Whiting. They re­ sided on thiB farm up until eleven yean ago last May, when they moved to town and where they have since resided. Those from a distance who attended the anniversary last Saturday were Mes­ dames David Frazer and Hiram Scovill, both of Chicago. Mr. Hille took a pic- tnjrft^ the group during the afternoon.

Try it OLD CITIZENS CALLED FROM THIS WORLD TO THEIR HEAVENLY REWARD. Nicholas Barbian Dies at Hte Home Here at the A(e of 94 Years-- Mi*. John Knox Called Suddenly. Since The Plaindealer's last visit to the citizens of McHenry there have passed awajr two of our old and most highly respected citizens, Nicholas Bar­ bian and Mrs. John Knox. The former passed away last Thursday afternoon while the latter answered to His call last Saturday forenoon. Nicholas Barbian was born at Wad- eren, Germany, June 29, 1811, and died at his home on Broad street at the ex­ treme old age of 94 years, 4 months and 4 days. He came to America in the year of 1842, settling in Chicago, where he waa engaged in the cooper business. He continued to live in Chicago hntil the year of the great Chicago fire in '71, he being one of the unfortunates in hav­ ing his place ruined by the disastrous flames which swept the entire business portion of the city. Mr. Barbian came to the conclusion that he would not re­ build in the city, but instead moved to McHenry, where he again started in business on a small scale. He continued the business in McHenry for a number of years nntil his age finally compelled him to quit. Twenty years previous to his coming to McHenry the deceased was united in marriage to Miss Mary Pauly, who, with eight living children, is left to mourp the death of a most kind and loving husband and father. Three children, Mrs. L. Dimmel, Miss Barbara and Joe, have preceded their father in death. The living children who are left to mourn are Jacob of San Francisco, Cal.; F. J., John J., Anton G., N. E. and Miss Susie, of McHenry; Mary of Denver* Colorado, and MrsrE. C, Mull­ en of Oak Park, 111. Besides these there are also twenty grandchildren and one great grandchild. Mr. Barbian was the eldest child in a family of seven and was the last to die. The cause of death cannot be attributed to any particular illness but was largely due to extreme old age. He has been gradually urowing weaker for the past year, but not until two weeks previous to his death was he confined to his bed. The funeral was held from St. Mary's German Catholic church, of which be was a devoted member, last Saturday morning at 10:80 o'clock, the last sad rites being performed by Rev. M. W. Barth. The services were attended by a host of sorrowing relatives and friends who followed the remains to their rett. ing place, where they paid their last tributes to one they had loved and who was always held in the highest esteem by all who knew him. The floral offer­ ings were most beautiful. Those who attended the funeral from a distance are as follows: Mrs. H. Schomer and son, George; Mr. Jacob Wolf and danghter, Marie; Mrs. Bar­ bara Banwich, Mrs. Kathrine Meyer, Mrs. Jacob Thelen, Mrs. Kathrine Bar­ bian, Mrs. Mary Schultz, Mrs. Mesline, of Chicago; Mr. and Mrs. Jas. G. Pauly and danghter, Helen, and Mrs. M. Schu­ macher of Elgin. i CARD OF THANKS. We wish thru The Plaindealer col­ umns to thank the many kind neighbors and friends who have during our recent sad bereavement rendered us so many very kind deeds. " R THE BABBIAN FAMILY. MBS. JOHN KNOX. At 10:80 o'clock last Saturday morn­ ing after an illness of only a few hours Mrs. John Knox passed away, the result of an attack of apoplexy. Deceased was born in Ireland on May 81, 1887. When sixteen years of age, she, in oompany with her parents, came to America, settling near Ringwood. Two years later she was united in mar* riage to Mr. John Knox, who died some eighteen years ago. The union was blessed with eleven children, four of whom are dead. The living members of the family who are left to mourn are Mrs. Walter Bclgsr, Mrs. J. Doherty, Mrs. M. A. Conway, Michael, Mary, Alice and John, all of whom reside in and around McHenry. Mrs. Knox was a member of St. Pat­ rick's Irish, Catholic church, of which she was always a hard and earnest worker. She was of a kind and loving disposition always doing everything pos­ sible for her children and all others with whom she associated. She was held in the higeet esteem by all who knew her and in her death McHenry has lost another of its best and most worthy citizens. The funeral services were held last " Monday morning at 10:80 o'clock from St. Patrick's Catholic churcbr^Rev. P. M. O'Neill officiating. Interment took place in the cemetery adjoining the church. The funeral was very largely attended. - CHESTER NOGLE DEAD. Chester Nogle died at the homeof%fo parents, Mr. and Mrs. I. A. Nogle, at Williams Bay, Wis., on Friday, Novem­ ber 8, after an illness of about two months. Mr. Nogle was taken ill about the middle of September, but not until three weeks ago was his illness considered serious, when it was learned that he was attacked by a very bad form of ty­ phoid fever, which disease, it is sup­ posed, waa contracted from drinking water from a well at the Woodstock. An analysis of the water by a skilled physician resulted in the finding of typhoid germs. Mr. Nogle was the only child in the family and consequently his untimely death came as a very serious blow to the heart broken parents as well as to his many friends in and about McHenry. He was a member of the local camp of Modern Woodmen and his death is rtie fourth to occur in the camp since its inauguration in 1884. Mr. Nogle has during ttie past six years be®ti employed on farms near McHenry, having worked for Will Sayler for five years and dur­ ing the past year has been in the em­ ploy of Clifford Sherman. He was of a jovial disposition and well liked by all who had the pleasure of his acquaint­ ance. For his employers he always proved himself a most valuable helper and in social circles was a favorite. The funeral was held at Williams Bay, Wis., last Sunday, the services be­ ing in charge of the Woodmen, eleven members being present FAIR AND FESTIVAL / At Central Opera House Beginning M«r- ter K ironing.

Mr. Brace Wheelock Starrltt and Minn Clara Mae Thompnon Are United in Ma­ trimony--Reception at Riverside. The Universalist church at McHenry was the scene of a very effective au­ tumn wedding at high noon, Wednes­ day, November 1, wbfen Rev. A. Roberts officiated at the marriage^ of Bruce Wheelock Starritt and Clara Mae Thompson. The churoh was beautifully decorated with chrysanthemums, carnations and ferns. A pretty feature was the selec­ tion of Misses Margaret Sutton, Edna Hunter and Margaret Ward to act as ushers. The young ladies were dressed in white and graced the occasion very uniquely. The ceremony was witnessed by about one hnndred guests. The wedding march WAS capably rendered by Miss Ella Thompson, a cousin of the bride. Immediately after the ceremony the bridal party and their guests repaired to the Riverside hotel, where a recep­ tion was held, and the happy con pie were given the heartiest congratulations and most sincere wishes for their future happiness. The banquet was spread in the dining room of the hotel, where covers were laid for sixty-eight guests The tables were prettily decorated in the same flowers and colors which were prominent at the church. A five-course dinner was served and each guest was given a prettily decorated menu card as a souvenir of the day. At the conclu sion a toast was proposed for the future prosperity and happiness of Mr. and Mrs. Starritt, to which all responded heartily. The bride was gowned in an Imported cream chiffon robe, heavily embroidered in delicate shades of pink, blue and cream, over a foundation of cream satin. She wore a bridal veil and car­ ried bride's roses. Her bridesmaid, Miss Effercine Johnson, was attired in a most becoming and attractive gown of pale gray crystal crepe, trimmed with light touches of pink, and cream lace. Her hat was of gray chiffon, trimmed with pink roses. The groom was attended by Floyd Thomspon, a nephew of the bride. Mr. and Mrs. Starritt were the recip­ ients of numerous presents, both hand­ some and useful, as well as tokens of the esteem of their many friends. The bride is the only daughter of Thos. Thompson and is a young lady of charming personality, being gifted with the traits of character which have en deared her to her many friends, leader in every social function, she is one who, it is safe to say, has never been known bat to. be admired and respected. The groom is an exemplary young man, upright, honest, industrious, and with an outward manner which proves his deeper feelings of kindness of dis position which have won him a place among the best young men of the com munity. He has been employed for the past several years by the American Ter ra Cotta and Ceramic Co. at Terra Cot ta and is trusted and respected by the officers and his fellow workmen. He if to be heartily congratulated on his choice of a bride, who will prove a kind and loving wife, while she has as a life partner one whom she may justly look to with pride, and trust to him her life long happiness. The day was celebrat ed also as the bride's birthday. Mr. and Mrs. 8tarritt left Crystal Lake at 6:40 for a short trip. They were showered plentifully with rice by several friends who bad learned the time of their departure. After their return they will reside on the farm owned by the bride's father* in Nunda township. Mr. and Mrs. Starritt have started out under the most auspicious circum­ stances and are followed by the best wishes of their friends. May every blessing attend them and the best that life affords be theirs. The Plaindealer joins with the many friends in extend­ ing congratulations. Lut Dance of Season.

MORE ENCOURAQINQ THAN EVER Contracts for Building the New Kleetric Railroad are iMt, Men connected with the proposed Chi­ cago, DesPlaines & Fox Lake electric have been quite active of late and have been in communication with the village authorities of Palatine and other places along the line which the road in event it is built will tike. G. W. Bryson, president, and W. Lewis, secretary and treasurer, inspected the proposed route recently and stated that the road would surely be started in the spring, making the assertion that contracts had already been let for the furnishing of 6eventy- ponnd rails for 43 miles of road. W. S. Reed, an experienced contractor, it was stated, had the contract for the con­ struction work. It was definitely stated that the road was connected with the Lake Street L project and that the terminal would be on that line at Market street The'line as surveyed from Oak Park runs west to the DesPlaines river, cross­ ing over to west side, thence north to DesPlaines, thence northwest past Mt Prospect, along south side of North­ western railroad, which it crosses at the cut on John Russell's farm, contin­ uing parallell to C. & N. W. R. R. with slight deviation through Arlington Heights to Palatine. The line rtns straight to Lake Zurich road, where it turns north on the east side of the street to Quentin Corners school house, where it crosses to the west side of road, mak­ ing a direct line for Lake Zurich, passes through the park and near Zurich Hotel thence on to Wauconda and McHenry. Surveyors and engineers have been going over the ground the past few weeks to decide on a definite survey. MoHenry will be the north terminal of the line according to present p'.ans. The road from Chicago to Palatine will be constructed first and put in operation as soon as possible. A handsome sub­ station building with the necessary machinery will be buiit at that place. The overhead trolley will be used and the equipment wiii be the best to insure speed and safety. OUR WEEKLY PICK-UPS ITEMS'PICKED UP ABOUT TOWN DURING THE WEEK.
