Mrs. Masquelet Was first taken ill about two weeks ago and since that time she grew steadily worse until the angel of death brought an end to her sufferings. Her death is a particularly sad one as it followed so.closely after that of her husband, who passed away only eight short months ago. Our people extend their sincere sympathy to Miss Gertrude and Frank, who have made their home with their mother here, who by her death are now left orphans. The funeral took place from St. Patrick's Catholic church on Wed­ nesday . morning of this week. ,?1QbiL- uary will appear next weekT » R«v. Earl A. .R*b*rtt Once more the Great Father has seen fit to call home a faithful servant from amongst us in the person of Rev. Earl A. Roberts, A. B. An almost impenetrable gloom settled down upon a certain home down id Raton, New Mexico, on Tuesday, June 2, when Bro. Roberts heard the Great Call home after an illness of about six weeks. Not only that home, but homes in Clayton, N. M., where he labored for his Master, and homes of our own town of Mchenry were hushed ,ln awe of the departed life we had all learned to know so well. < When we remember with what sac­ rifice and utter devotion he labored amongst us and how often his heart ached for our good, we begin, to see the life of the Christ shining forth and exemplified in his suffering and trials. But Jesus 'tells us that "Whosoever shall 'lose his life for My sake shall tind it." We are all certain that he has found a broader, deeper and richer life1 with his Lord and Master. His big soul has been cut loose from the narrow confines of mortality and is now expanding and glorifying God in His presence. v F. A. SHIPLEY, Mra. Elliafcath Nitrnt* Mrs. Elizabeth Nieman, second daugh­ ter of Mr. and Mrs. James McDonald of this village, passed away at her late home, 4146 Frenshaw St., Chicago, on Friday, June 12, 1914. About four weeks ago the deceased underwent a serious operation at the West Side hospital in Chicago. The operation appeared to have been a most successful one as she was able to return to her home shortly after same was performed. Her husband And members of her family were more than pleased with the manner in which she had improved and last week she felt quite strong enough to go out and do a little shopping. However, a turn for the worse came on Wednesday night of last week. Her condition grew steadily worse and in spite of every­ thing that could be done for her she passed peacefully away on the day above mentioned. The direct cause of her death was cerebral abscess. The deceased was born on the 18th of March, 1868, and passed her child­ hood days at Richmond and Green­ wood. Twenty years ago she was united in marriage to R. W. Nieman of Chicago and ever since has made that city her home. She leaves besides a large circle of friends, a sorrowing huslitind, an adopt­ ed daughter, Alice; a young man by the name of Ray Carney whom she raised from a little child: her parents, Mr. and Mrs. James McDonald of this village; four sistex^s, Mrs. S. W. Brown of Ringwood, Mrs. C. W. Cropley of Solon, Mrs. Walter Peatt of Green­ wood, MM| Mayme Harrison of this alace, ana two brothers, John Mc­ Donald of Richmond and - Thomas of this" village. , Her remains were brought to Mc­ Henry last Saturday and taken to the home of her parents on John street, from which place they were taken to Richmond on Monday morning. The funeral services were conducted in the Catholic church in that village, with burial in the Richmond cemetery. Rev. Hagen of this village performed the last sad rites. Those from a distance who attended the funerai were the following: Mr. and Mrs. Louis Holian, Win. Holian, Miss OUie Dewey, Mrs. Gus Stephman, Walter McDonald, James and Richard Powers of Chicago; Mrs. Theresa Fin- nigan and two children and Mrs. ir'riuak O'Neil of Beloit, Wis.

TtaFAMW*,; Mac Reed, a negro porter, who dur­ ing the past'two weeksKhas been em­ ployed in the Martin B. Schmltt bar­ ber shop, was found dead at that place on Tuesday morning of^this week. "Mac," as he was familiarly known Wthose who had formed his acquaint­ ance, complained of not feeling well on Stifiday morning. He remained in doors all that day and was unable to work on Monday. He consulted Dr. D. G. Wells, who prescribed for him, and at closing time on Monday night he informed Mr. Schmitt that he was feeling consider­ ably better. The deceased was in the habit of making up his bed in the barber shop and evidently retired shortly after closing on that night. On arriving at the shop on Tuesday morning Mr. Schmitt was surprised to find the door locked. Upon entering the place he found the porter lying on his bed as if asleep. Not receiving an answer to his call he approached the negro and found that he was dead. His body was still warm when discovered and from all indications the negro had been dead but a short time. Mr. Schmitt at once called in Jacob Justen and then notified Deputy Cor­ oner Dr. C. H. Fegers. The body was then taken into the undertaking*rooms next door, where the inquest was held over the body that afternoon. After the witnesses had been care­ fully examined the jury returned a verdict to the effect that the deceased had come to his death by apoplexy. The jury was composed of the follow ing: F. G. Schreiner, foreman; Wm. Simes, Joe N. Miller, M. M. Niesen, J. C.yHolly and Louis Smith. "Mac" came to McHenry from Har vard about two weeks ago. On his arrival here he informed a Plaindealer reporter that competition at Harvard had reached a point where someone had to make a move and after looking over this village decided that McHen­ ry offered a good field for his line of work. During the two weeks that he was in McHenry he apparently made good as he was planning on renting a suite of rooms. ' . In view of the fact that he was a stranger here very little of his past is known. A number of his colored friends from Harvard and Woodstock were over at the inquest on Tuesday and ventured the information that he had been at Harvard for three or four years previous to his coming to Mc Henry. Among his earthly possessions was found a key ring, the check of which contained the following inscrip­ tion: "Old Home, Waco, Texas." It was also learned that he had a sister living at 619 Elm street, Bon ham, Texas. A wire was sent to her.

Large catches of blue gills and small bass have been reported by anglers of late. A few rive^^aod lake excursions have already been enjoyed this season. The season opened earlier than usual this year. A number of new launches have al­ ready made thefr appearance along the river and lakes. The dances at Mertes' resort at Pis­ takee Bay are proving even more pop­ ular than last season. Don't forget the Fourth of July pic­ nic at Nell's Columbia park on Fox river near the Johnsburgh bridge. ' • As the Fourth comes on Saturday, hotel owners are already receiving or­ ders for room reservations for the two days, July 4 and 5. The hotel owners and proprietors of McHenry, along the river and at the Bay report an increased business during the past four weeks over'that of a year ago. The exceedingly hot weather of two weeks ago undoubtedly accounts for this. The cool days of the past week have been a drawback to the resort business Automobile traffic has been quite small, while cottage owners and rent­ ers who contemplated coming out this week have postponed their trip until it warms up, Which we7 hope will be soon. Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Knoblauch of Chicago have rented one of the Lasch cottages on Fox river, near McHenry, and will pass the summer there. Mrs. A. H. Kingsley and son of Chicago will also pass the greater - part of the summer at that place, while Mr. Kings- ley will be a frequent week end visitor at the place. Mr. Kingsley until last fall conducted the resort bearing his name on the east shore of Pistakee Bay. > George Harding of Elgin, who for a number of years has passed his summer vacation at his cottage at Rosedale on Fox river, near this village, has dis­ posed of his interests here and in the future will pass the summer season at Williams Bay, Wis., where he is now erecting an open air dancing pavilion. The pavilion is being constructed on property adjoining that of Allen Walsh, also a former Elginite. The pavilion" will be formally opened on July 4 and in view of the fact that it is the only place of amusement at that resort Mr. Harding's friends are predicting great success for the place^ Mr. Walsh is conducting a summer resort hotel at that place and since going there a year or more ago he has enjoyed a splendid patronage. iNwwi it NiH*n>"k BrUi» One of .the first ui-owuiugs off the summer season in Lake county was recorded at Pistakee lake Sunday aft­ ernoon, when Harry Martin Scher- pingham, a resident of Chicago, fell from the railroad bridge near the shores of that lake and was drowned before aid could get him from the water. Accompanied by his son, John A. Scherpingham, the victim left his home in Chicago Saturday for a two daysP outing. The two men had spent Saturday afternoon about the lak^ fish­ ing and boating. According to those who saw and talked with them the son wanted to return to Chicago early Sunday morning. The father, how­ ever, insisted that they remain for an­ other day's fishing. After giving a reluctant consent to this, the son, on Sunday afternoon, prepared the fishing tackle and the two set out from the hotel at which they had been stopping. On the day before they had fished from a boat, but Sunday the father thought that the fishing would be better from the Nipper-sink railroad bridge a short distance from the shore and so the boat for the time being was fastened to one of the piles. The two men mounted the bridge and cast the^r lines into the water. They had been fishing for nearly an hour, when the elder Scherpingham felt a tug on his line and started to reel in. In some manner while attempting to land the fish the man fell from the bridge into the water below. He sank to the bottom and never came to the surface. It is thought that the strong undertow at that point carried the body under the piling of the bridge and fastened it among the heavy timbers. When it was seen that the man did not come to the surface several men who had been attracted to the scene removed their clothing and dove into the water to search for the body. After more than an hour of diving after the. body it was taken from the piles and removed to Fox Lake, where an inquest was held Monday. When the remains were first discovered an effort was made to revive the victim, but this proved unsuccessful. The re­ mains were shipped to Cnicago Mon­ day afternoon. The victim was sixty- six years old and was a businessman of some prominence in that city. .
