The eltlzaip ol MoHmvj were shocked Uat ***** to learn ol the sudcfen death of Charles P. Johnson, which occurred at his late home, at 1116 Morton avenue, Elglh, early that morning following & two days' illness. Mr. Johnson came home from his work on Tuesday night of last week apparently in the best of health, but during the early hours of the following morning Ibe complained to his wife of feeling ill. Soon afterward he took on a high fever and at about five o'clock in the morning he Buffered a severe hemorrhage. The hemorrhage came on while his wife was out of the bed room and in response to his calls she'ran to his assistance and found t hat her busband was in a very serious condition. Medical a\d was at once summoned and the hemorrhage was stopped. A trained nurse was brought into the.home and in spite of all that his loving wife and medical attention could do he passed away on the above mentioned day after less than two days' intense suffering. The hemorrhage was caused thru infection qt his heart. The deceased was the son of Samuel H. and Eugenia Johnson, natives of New Jersey and of Yankee descent. He was born at Andover, N. J., on the 9th day of SeptemSer, 1869, and was 42 years, 10 months and 10 days of age at the time of his death. His father met a tragic death when the subject of this sketch was a child of only two and one-half years. His father at the time of his death was employed as ex­ press messenger. He was oaught between two cars while in the afct of coupling same and was crushed to death. After his father's dqath Mr. Johnson was taken to the home of his irrandparepts in the New "jersey town where he was raised. He received his early education in $he -schools of his home town and at ' the age jit sixteen he again went to make his home with his mother. * He then took up the Study of sta­ tionary engineering and worked at t hat trade bs apprentice for four years. He was later employed as engineer at Newark, JST. jf., whece he remained four or flye years. His mother then moved to New York city and he went with her. He follpjred his vocation in New York city up to the time of his mother's death, which occurred a few years after the Jjmiil; moved to that metropolis. After his mother's death he, with three or four young men companions left New York city for the West with the intention of taking up railroading on their arrival at their destination. When Kansas City, Mo., was reached Mr. Johnson was standing in the rail­ road station when he was approached by Rev. Oliver, inventor of the Oliver typewriter. Mr. Oliver took a liking to the young man and questioned him sis to what he was doing and where he was going. Mr. Johnson Informed his questioner that he was with a few friends and that they were bound for t he West to take up the work above mentioned. After a few moments' con­ versation the distinguished stranger induced the youn£ engineer to go to Epworth, la., wh?re he was given em­ ployment in the first Oliver typewriter factory. Mr. Oliver had purchased an old creamery building at that place, where he started the manufacture of the typewriter that has long since be­ come famous. Mr. Johnson was em­ ployed as engineer at this plant for about a year jand a half, w;hen the type­ writer company moved their plant to their present location at Woodstock, i ll. The deceased moved with the fac­ tory and held the job of engineer at Woodstock for ten years. He gave up his position in the factory toaccept a pnaitinn oa anmnaAtt MpwfU pMifa_ tal Lake Flour & Feed mill, the change being made for the reason that the work at Crystal Lake was a great deal lighter and more to the deceased's lik­ ing. In October of the year 1910 he went to Elgin, where he was given the posi­ tion of engineer in the Elgin city high school, his application being one of twenty-five that had been handed in for the job. In August of last year Mr. Johnson was transferred from the high school to the city pumping sta­ tion, where he was stationed and worked faithfully up to the time of his sudden and unexpected illness. Mr. Johnson was considered one of the best and most capable engineers that ever called Elgin his home and has the honor of holding the first en­ gineer's license ever issued in the city of Elgin. Mr. Johhson was converted and joined the Methodist Episcopal church in his home town at the age of nine and ever since becoming a member has proven himself a true Christian. At the time of his death he was a member of the M. E. church at North Crystal Lake, where his letter now lies. In everyday life the deceased was a man of a kind and sympathetic nature and was held in very highest esteem by all who ever made his acquaintance. During h1g short residence in Elgin he has made many warm friends, who regret his sudden death deeply. He was married to Miss Carrie A. Mimes, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hen­ ry dimes of this place, at the home of tier sister, Mrs. H. M. Chubaroff, who at that time resided in this village, on August 8, 1908. He leaves a grief- stricken wife and one brother, Samuel O. Johnson, a passenger oobductor now residing at Hoboken, N. J. The deceased was a member of Sil- verleaf camp, M. W- A., of Elfin and also a member of the National Asso­ ciation of Stationary Engineers. He carried insurance in both societies. Short funeral services were conduct- ,ed !>y Rev. Carpenter of the Elgin Methodist church at his late home at <me o'clock on Saturday - afternoon His body was brought to McHenry on the afternoon train and taken to the home o^his wife's parents on Main street. The funeral services were held at title M. E. church here at eleven o'clock on Sunday morning with Rev. W. A.Cross officiat ing. Interment was made in Woodland cemetery. After closing up her business affairs at Elgin Mrs. Johnson will come to McHenry to up her home with her parage. Her njany friends here extend her their deepest"sympathy in this her hour of sadness. CARD OF THANKS. We wish in this way to thank our neighbors and friends who so kindly assisted and others who offered their assistance in our recent sad bereave­ ment. MRS. C. P. JOHNSON AND MR. AND MRS. HBKBX SIMES. MI*. SMmWrlir. Mrs. Henrietta Rosenberger, whose death occur red at her late home in this village on Wednesday morning of last week, and mention of which was made in these columns in our last issue, was one of McHenry'a oldest as well as most highly esteemed resi dents. The deceased has been in declining health for a number of years, but not until February of this year did her ailment cause her to spend more or less of her time in bed. Since Febru­ ary she has been a great sufferer and in spite of all her pains she never com plained and never revealed to her only living daughter, who cared for her at all times, her true suffering. During all her long illness the daugh­ ter extended every care and help that love and a care-taking daughter could give a suffering mother and in spite of every effort on her part as well as that of the attending physician, the de­ ceased passed peacefully away. Miss Henrietta Bleier was born in Naile, Germany, on April 18, 1834, and was a trifle over seventy-eight years of age at the time that she answered the call of her Master's voice. She grew to womanhood in the place of her birth and was also married there, she being united to Mr. George Rosenberger on October 31, 1861. The latter preceded her to the final reward on November 13, 1910. Six years after her marriage she with her husband came to America. The family first re­ sided in Elgin, where Mr. Rosenberger was employed as a printer. Two years were passed there, when 'the family moved to this village and where the deceased continued to reside up to the time of her departure. Mrs. Rosenberger was a member of the Zion Lutheran church at this place and was always considered one of its most faithful and devout members. She was one of those grand old women who were in part responsible of making this the great country that it now is. Her sympathetic nature and kind heartedness made her a woman to be beloved by £^1 who shared her ac­ quaintance ami in her death McHenry has lost another of her best citizens and mothers. She was the mother of seven chil­ dren, of whom only one is left to share the sorrows that follow the taking away of one so dear,, six of the chil­ dren dying in infancy., Miss Henrietta Rosenberger, who has always made her hoipe with her mother, is the only living member of the family. Besides the heart-broken daughter, the de­ ceased leaves one sister, Mrs. John Ahrens of Chicago. v The funeral was held from the de­ ceased's late home at eleven o'clock on Friday morning of last week. The last sad rites were conducted by Rev. Laufer, pastor of the church of which she was a member.' The remains were laid to rest in Woodland cemetery be­ side those of her husband. CARD OF THANKS. I wish in this manner to extend my heartfelt thanks to the many kind friends who extended their sympathy and help during my mother's late ill­ ness and after her death. The kind deeds are fully appreciated and I cannot find words to express my sincere grati­ tude for the many kindnesses shown me. Miss HENRIETTA ROSENBERGS^.
