JOSEPH HEIMER IS DEAD WAS FOR MANY YEARS A PROMI­ NENT BUSINESS MAN. Was Born at Johnsburgh Fifty Year* Ago --Conducted MO Henry ROIIHF For Many Year*--Funeral Largely Attended. Joseph Heimer, one of the most well- known and highly respected citizen* in McHenry, hade farewell to this world at about five o'clock Tuesday mofrni'ng, July 7, after an illness of abnnt six years. While his death was not unexpected, yet, when it is considered that he was up and around the house the day previous to his departure, the shock of his sadden ending came as an almost nnltearable blow to his griefstrickeii and estimable wife rtnd soa. The deceased was born on the old Heimer homestead at Johnsbnrgh on February 7, lfS/jH, thus making him fifty years and five months of age at the time of his death. He was brought up and grew to manhood nnder the family roof wher« he was born. He faithfully assisted bis parents uutil at the age of hblMtK. twenty, when he went to Chicago to enter the employ of the packing firm of Tohey & Booth, at that time located on the corner of 18th and Purple streets. His connections with this firm wa* short in duration, as he entered into business for himself shortly after going to Chi­ cago, successfully conducting a hard­ ware establishment up to the time of coming to McHenry. He was united in marriage to Miss Josephine Knhuert at St. John's Catho­ lic church in Johnsbnrgh by Rev. H. M. Fegers on May 3, 1883, who, with one son, Chas. J., are left to survive. Be sides these he leaves four brothers and two sisters, as follows: Mathias, John and Henry of this place; Stephen, Mrs. Kate Napp and Mrs. Gertrude Wecker of Chicago. One sister, Mrs. Peter Niesen, crossed the dark sea abont two years ago. Mr. Heimer, with his family, moved to McHenry in the spring of 1892, at which time he purchased the McHenry House of Theo. Meyers. After gaining possession of this hostelry, he, thru hard and consistent work, succeeded in mak­ ing the place one of the most %x>pular hotels in the county, his ever jovial disposition and welcome hand being duly responsible for his successful busi­ ness career here. tn a business way the subject of our sketch was an honest, upright and courteous man and au earnest worker. Socially he was beyond equal, being as he was, ever ready to entertain those with whom he came in contact. His popularity extended the county over, and we donbt if there is a person that ever visited his place who regrets tbe acquaintance of Joseph Heimer. He retired from active bnsiness life in August of last year, when the McHenry House became the property of Peter Moritz of Chicago. Since his retirement and up to the time of his demise, the deceased followed every medical advice and took every precaution at his demand to prolong his life, but the grim reaper has thus taken him away. Mr. Heimer also served onr village in the capacity of alderman for a number of years, always discharging his duties to the general satisfaction of our people. He was a member of the McHenry C. O F. No. 594, the members of which order paid their last respects by turning out in a body at his funeral, as also did the members of St. Clara Court W. C. O. F., of whioh the heartbroken widow is a member. The funeral was held from St. Mary's Catholic church, of which the deceased was a member, on Thursday moruing last at 10:30 o'clock, the funeral being one of the largest ever held here. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. A. Royer, assisted by the Revs. J. F. Kirsch of Chicago, Paul Bourke of McHenry and S. Wolfgarten of Johnsburgh, the latter preaching a most consoling and fitting sermon. The floral contribu­ tions were many and elaborate. The remains were laid to rest in the family lot in St. Mary's cemetery. CARD OF THANKS. We, the undersigned, wisb in this way to extend our heartfelt tbanks to the many kind friends and neighbors who lent their assistance and extended their sympathy during the recent sick­ ness and death of our beloved one. Al­ so do we wish to thank the members of both orders ,pf Catholic Foresters for the respect shown at tbe funeral, and especially do we wish to thank tbe do nators of the beautiful floral offerings.

MIM Fraaem Kullie RUM PUK* to the Land of Happiness. Again has it become our sad duty to announce the death of one of McHenry's fairest and most highly esteemed daugh­ ters, Miss Frances Einilie Buss, youngest daughter of Mrs. Elizabeth Buss, who gave up her spirit to the command of her Master at ten o'clock last Saturday moruing, July 11,1WW, after an illness of about six months. The news of her death came as a sad blow to the members of her family, as well as to the large circle of admiring friends. She first began' to complain about six months ago, but not until eight weeks ago did she or even the members of her fUmily consider her condition sorions. In fact she faithfully attended to her duties as chief operator at the local exchange office of the Chi­ cago Telephone company day after day until two months ago, when, upon the advice of the family physician, she underwent an operation at Mercy hos pital in Chicago. At first it was be­ lieved by those nearest to her that the operation had proven very successful and that she was oti the road to recov­ ery, bnt these consoling thoughts bad uo more than been set in the minds of those caring for her when her condition took a very decided change for the worse, and. notwithstanding the fact that everything that could be was done for her by loving hands, she gradually grew weaker until He. unto whom all trust. uinst lie laid, called her to her heavenly reward. Frances Entitle Bn*s was born in Mc­ Henry on September 27, 1880, being the youngest of a family of eleven children, two of whom, with the father, had previously laid away their worldly troubles and joined the ranks of depart­ ed ones. Those left to mourn her un­ timely calling away are the heartbroken mother, five brothers and three sisters, as follows: J. B. and Jacob of Mc­ Henry; Joseph of Nachusa, III.; John of Spring Lake, Mich.; Chas. G. of Chi­ cago; Mrs. John Stoflfel of this place, Mrs. H. B. Do we of Ingleside, III., and Miss Li«ie of Chicago. Besides these she leaves a large circle of relatives and friends, who extend to the sorrowing family their heartfelt sympathy. The deceased was born and raised in the Roman Catholic faith and has al­ ways been firmly attached to its teach­ ings. Her educational foundation was laid in the little German school that once stood on Washington street near St. Patrick's Catholic church. Later she attended St. Mary's parochial school, where, with a large class, she prepared herself for her first holy com- mnnion, which blessed sacrament was bestowed upon her in June, 1897. Having thus finished the course at the parochial school, she, upon the opening of the McHenry pnbljc school in the fall of the same year, entered that institution to complete her education. Right from the beginning Frances proved herself a determined an.l hard working scholar, each day finding her at her accustomed post, unless sickness or some other cause interfered. Among her class­ mates she became a great favorite, and also among her unconntable friends and acquaintances. On June9, 1904, with a class of thirteen, she graduated from the McHenry high school with high honors. Sad to say she is the second of the class to pass away, Miss Hellen E. McGee having been the first. About four years ago she entered the employ of the Chicago Telephone com­ pany as operator at the local exchange, and dnring tbe last year has acted in the capacity of chief operator. Her services to the company have, during these years, been honest, faithful and true, her chief ambition in this world of labor being for the dispensation oi her duties first and then to partake of tbe pleasures that were accorded her. Frances was possessed of a sweet and loving disposition, always pleasant to those who came in contact with her either in a bnsiness or social way. Possibly the greatest number of her friends were made dnring the four years that her services were at the disposal of the telephone company, her kind, courteous and accommodating ways winning her new friends daily. Never again will that sweet voice answer "number, please," but forever will her beautiful life remain in the memory of those who so dearly loved and admired her. A more pure or noble young life has never or will ev;er*enter that king­ dom that has been prepared for those who follow the teachings of tbe church. The funeral was held from St. Mary's Catholic church at 10:30 Tuesday morn­ ing, tbe Rev. A. Royer performing the last sad rites before a large congrega­ tion that had gathered to pay their last respects to a loved one. The M. M. M. club, of which the deceased was a mem­ ber, turned ont in a body, acting as honorary pall bearers. The floral con­ tributions were most beautiful. The remains were laid to rest in peace be­ side those of her father and two sisters. CARD OF THANKS. We, tbe undersigned, wish, in this manner to publicly thank the many friends and neighbors who so kindly extended us a helping band and sympa­ thized with us during our recent sick­ ness and after our sad bereavement. MRS. E. Buss AND CHILDREN. A. J. OLSON A WINNER WILL CARRY COUNTY BY OVER­ WHELMING MAJORITY. Expects Majorities in Both Lake and Boone, the Other Gonntles of the Klghth Senatorial District. If the Republican primaries were to be held this week, A. J. Olson would doubtless receive the Republican nomi­ nation for state senator by an over- candidacy is also receiving strong sup­ port from all classes of Republican vot­ ers throughout the entire district, and The Plaindealer believes that the streng­ th of Mr._01son'scandidacy will steadily increase from now nntil the primaries are held. Mr. Olson needs no one to vouch for his honesty and integrity, as a large number of the farmers throughout the district sold milk to him long before he became a resident of this county and Woodstock never had a more public- Deering binder twine at Wm.

He is making al­ most a house-to-house canvass of Lake county, and has tbe assurance of a big vote there, and also expects to receive a large vote from certain parts of Boone county. The farmers and dairyman of the entire district are almost unanimous iu their support of Mr. Olsou's candi­ dacy for state senator. They alone could nominate him, bnt Mr. Olsou's spirted, generous-hearted, enterprising and better citizen than Mr. Olson. Every Republican voter of the district who will vote for the nomination of Mr. Olson for state senator can rest assured that no man now rnnning for that office from this district is better qualified to fill that position, or, if elected, will fill it in a better and more conscientious manner than A. J. Olson. A FORMER RESIDENT Away at Freedom, Oklahoma, at Ripe Old Age. The following clipping, concerning the death of a former McHenry resident, taken from the Freedom (Okla.) paper, will undoubtedly interest some of our readers: Harriet C. Mead was born in Pitts- ford, Vt, March 7, 1810, died June 21, 1908, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Chas. C. Annis, of this place. Left fatherless wheu bnt a child, she was taken into the home of Mr. Lifing, where she remained nntil 18 years of age. She went from this place to Lowell, Mass., where she worked in the cotton mills uutil at the age of 22 she married Curtis A. Gale, from which union were born seven children, all of whom are dead except Mrs. Annis. In 1843 they came west and located in McHenry county. 111., later moving to Volo, Lake county, 111. In 1807 Mr. Gale died. In 1883 Mrs. Gale left the homestead and lived with her daughter in Elgin, III. In '86 she married Mr. Payne, who lived but two years. She then resumed her residence with Mrs. Moore. In '98, with her granddaugh­ ter, she moved to Elgin to live with her son, Ward Gale. After his death in '01 she went to Berlin, Wis., where she lived with her sister until '03, when she cklne to Oklahoma. Early in life she was converted and bad been a faithful follower and zealous worker for the Master. She united with tbe Congregational church at the time of conversion, but after coming to Oklahoma she united with the Frieuds church at Alva and was a.member at tbe time of her death. March 6, 1908, she suSeml a stroke of paralysis, which caused her death. Her illness was marked by her consideration and patience with those who waited on her, a characteristic of her entire life. To tbe last she WM cheerful and resign­ ed, comforting those anxious watchers with the assurance "All is well." Rev. Jackson of Alva conducted the funeral services jind she was laid to rest in the Freedom cemetery June 22, 1908. _ Fourth Anniversary IJanre. On Wednesday evening, July 29, Smith's ball at Johnsburgh will cele­ brate its fourth anniversary with a big dance.

That the McHenry people ave alive arid ever ready to encourage any and all bnsiness enterprises that seek to enter our village was again proven at the meeting of the McHenry. Indus trial association at the Pleasure club's room last Thursday evening, when it was decided to offer the proposed Elgin, Woodstock & Lake Geneva Railway Co, ten acres of land on which to erect its power house, car barns and general offices. The following day (Friday) the offer was compiled in legal form and for warded to the company's present head quarters at Elgin, and it now remains to the decision of the railroad people whether or not they wish to make Mc Henry their headquarters. Being located as it is, at about tbe central point of the proposed line, Mc. Henry, with its natural advantages, is very favorably considered by the pro­ moters, and its possibilities of securing the railroad headquarters is at the pres­ ent time most flattering. Jnst how soon onr people may expect a definite answer to their offer is a ques tion that cannot be satisfactorily an swered at this time, bnt a representa­ tive has given the association an assur­ ance that the answer would be forth­ coming within thirty days at the most. The Plaindealer is pleased to note the enthusiasm and encouragement that has been awarded this important question, and never again can tfie outside world point to the people of McHenry as "a bunch of dead ones." Onr people, thru their words of encouragement and very liberal contributions, Lave thus shown that they are very much alive and are ready to assist in making McHenry a city. 1'ncla* loin Wait Al l Kight. It was with an air of general satis­ faction that one of the largest crowds that ever attended a tented exhibition left the show gronnds at the close of the'old, but yet always new) prodnction of Terry's I'nele Tom's Cabin Tuesday evening. Terry's company so far sur­ passed all the other Uncle Tom com­ panies that had ever visited McHenry that comparison is beyoud the qnestion. Not only is the company a well balanced one, but a strictly reliable one. So far as the production itself was concerned, we donbt whether there is another com­ pany now traveling that plays the piece more in its entirety than does the Terry company. One of the big features of the company is that it carries one of the best bands of any show that has ever struck town. The concert in the eveniug was great. Should Terry ever visit McHenry again we believe the tent will be too small to accommodate the audience. Binder Twine! Binder Twine! Deering binder twine, the best twine made.
