Business at Shepard A Son's 'clover dryer has commenced in earnest, and they are now receiving blossoms every day, althought at present not as fast as they would like them. They adver­ tise for 70,000 pounds. • ' , As a proof of the growing popularity Qf the Riverside House, under its new landlord, we understand he has made a contract to lodge and feed one hun­ dred men from Chicago on July 14. Some German society holds an annual meeting here on that day. There is one thing sure, they will be well taken care of at the Riverside. In the Elgin Independent we find the following: "Chas. F. Johnson, who for about three years has been one of the most popular clerks in the employ at C. J. Schultz, is soon to leave for Mc- Henry, 111., where he has accepted a more responsible position with Messrs. John Evanson & Co. We have known Mr. Johnson quite intimately for some time and while we very much regret his leaving us, congratulate him upon his promotion to more lucrative position. Charlie is a good fellow to tie to and we wish him and his estimable yo&ng wife lots of happiness in their new home." Johnson is well and favor­ ably known here, having once before been in the employ of Evanson & Co. He is a young man of excellent busi- neas qualifications, and his many friends here will heartily welcome him back to McHenry. The state fish warden, Fred L». Bock, got after Sam A. French, a Chi­ cago lawyer, and made him pay a fine and costs of $15 for killing a couple of ducks in Fox river. The joke is that for two years French was attorney for the Fox river Fish and Game asso­ ciation and was very active in compel­ ling dam owners to construct fishways. Warden Buck has also recently had arrested for seining, Winthrop Searles, • Jas. Howard, Fred Somerfield, Chas. Angroms, Edson Herendon, Chas. Grover, Fred Koch, John Grover and Wm. Ulcines, who were tried at Bar­ ring ton, and each fined $10 and costs. This is right. Warden Buck means business and violators of the law will do well to go a little slow, , IMPROVE KESOKT PROPERTY Among the busy bodies at Pistakee v Bap this spring were Wm. F. Rohr- beck and his father-in-law, Peter,, D. Gilik, of Chicago. During the past few weeks these two men have made numerous automobile trips out from Chicago for the purpose of improving and beautifying the cottage and grounds owned at Pistakee Bay by the former. Besides the cottage, Mr. Rohrbeck al­ so owns n tract of land and this was cleared of its underbrush and objec­ tionable shrubbery. Thirty-six assort­ ed fruit trees were planted, while about one hundred feet of the land was tiled. During their visits at the Bay the gentlemen also put their boats in run­ ning condition and the next contem­ plated improyement will be the build­ ing of anew boat house. Combining business with pleasure, the two re- sorters also passed part of the time fishing on Pistakee and report some splendid catches, among which were a 17 pound pickerel and a 6} pound large ttouth bass. They have had these two fish mounted and now take consider­ able pride in showing them to their friends. One hundred feet of the road has also been improved along their property and they would very much - like to see this work continued by Other property owners. \t A' jfc-1 I#- fe S$r;' '•Ww- COVNCH.

L0DTL AND - IK.BTOYSIHES^: Chloken feed at M. M. MRS. LODTZ IS LAID AT REST AT STOUGH­ TON WHILE MRS. SIMES IS BROUGHT HERB FROM CRYSTAL LARE Mr*. John D. LodU Mrs. John D. Lodtz, of whose death mention was made in these columns last week, was bora at. Sjpughton, Wis., March 17, 1867, and passed away at her late home in this village on^Tune 14, 1915, aged 48 years, 2 months, aijd 28 days. Luella .Pennewell Lodts was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Whit- tier Pennetvell, -highly. ies^.ecled and pioneer residents of Stoughton, Wis., her death being the first to break the family link of ten children, all of whom, with the aged parents, are left to survive. The deceased was raised in the place of her birth. Here under the careful guidanc# of a kind-hearted father and loving mother she grew to womanhood. She was educated in the schools of that village and continued to make it her home until shortly after her marriage. She was united in marriage to John D. Lodtz on March 2, 1890. After her marriage she and her husband went to Chicago, which city they made their home for four years. They then came to McHenry, where she continued to make her home ever since, a period of twenty-one years. During her residence in McHenry she had come to be known and highly respected by our entire population. She was always of a quiet and unas­ suming nature, yet ever ready to lend her assistance to a worthy cause. She was a member of the McHenry Chap­ ter, O. E. S., in which order Bhe al­ ways displayed a great interest. The high esteem in which she was held by her chapter could not have been more beautifully exemplified than during the last sickness and after the death of the deceased. Each and every mem­ ber of the chapter seemed to take more than ordinary interest in looking after her welfare and care, but their efforts to prolong her life were as naught, as her Master had called for her and she responded to His call peacefully and most willingly. * Besides a large host of friends both here and at Stoughton, Wis., the de­ ceased is survived by a heart-broken husband and one son, Percy Frederic Lodtz. Also her aged and sorrowing parents, seven sisters and two brothers, as follows: Mrs. C. W. Armstrong of Oconto, Wis.; Mrs. Ida Barber of Lake Kegonsa, Wis.; Mrs. Mary Congor of" Stoughton, Wis.; Mrs. E. L. Baumgart- ner of Mildred, Mont.; Mra. W. W. Newkirk of Stoughton, Wis.; Mrs. J. T. Schumacher of Leroy, 111.; Mrs. J. H. Goodearle of Salisma, Mont.; Wm. H. Pennewell of Madison, Wis., and Grant S. Pennewell of Superior, Wis. A short service was conducted by Rev. John M. Ratcliff, pastor of the Universalist church, at her late home in this village at two o'clock on Tues­ day afternoon of last week, after which the remains were- taken to Solon Mills, from which place they were shipped to Stoughton, Wis. The funeral ser­ vices were conducted from the resi­ dence of her aged parents at two o'clock the following afternoon. Rev. T. B. Fisher, pastor of the Universalist church at Stoughton, Wis., preached the sermon, during which he paid a glowing tribute to the deceased. A poem read by the pastor during the sermon follows: When falls the night upon the earth And all in shadow lies, The sun's not dead; her radiance still Beams bright on other skies. And when the dawn star groweth dim Upon the brow of morn, It still shines on tho earthly eyes That miss it grow forlorn. Some other world is glad to see Our star that's gone away. The light whose goingmakes our night Makes somewhere else a day. The feet that cease their walking here, Tired of the way they've trod, With strength renewed go traveling The pathway up to God. The hand whose patient fingers now Have laid earth's colors by,' With loving skill has taken up A higher ministry. , The eyes that give no longer back The tender look of love, Now with a deathless gleam drink in God's beauteous world above. The lips whose sweet tones made us ask If angels sweeter sung, Tho silent here, make heaven glad "With their melodious tongue. And tho her body lies asleep, Our dear one is not dead. She rises thru dark death's bright birth With joy upon her head. And she is just our loved one still, And loves us now no less; She goes away to come again To watch us and to bless. And tho we cannot clasp her haqd Nor look upon her face, Nor listen to her voice again, Nor watch her ways of grace, Still we can keep her memory bright And walk the way she trod, And trust the walk until we come Up to the house of God. Let us be thankful thru our tears That she was ours so long, And try to hush our tones of grief And listen to her song. The remains were laid at rest in Riverside cemetery, the services at the grave being in chargft of the Stough­ ton O. E. S. The ladies representing the five points of the star carried floral offerings of the color each represented. They were placed upon the casket with deep solemnity. Many other beautiful floral pieces were also donat­ ed by sympathizing friends of the de­ ceased. The husband and son, as weil as the sister, Mrs. Congor, who has been here caring for the departed one dur­ ing the past several months, have the heartfelt sympathy of the people of McHenry and the surrounding oountry in this, their sad bereavement.

We are truly grate­ ful to each and all of you and we can never forgetyour kindness. s Sincerely, J. D. LODTZ AND SON. MRS. MARY CONGOR. Mr*. Hanry SlmM [Crystal Lake Herald] Amollie Fredericka Krahn was born in Berlin, Germany,- July 4, 1852, and passed away after a lingering illness at her home on Main street, Crystal Lake, 111., Tuesday morning, June 15, 1915. Her father was a Prussian nobleman and she was proud of her family con­ nection. Coming to this country when but an infant, she, with her mother, stepfather, brothers and sisters, settled on a farm near DesPlaines, 111., and later with the family moved to Bar- rington, where she grew up to woman­ hood and finally married Henry Simes, July 25, 1875. About thirty years of their married life were spent in Mc­ Henry county, several years of which they resided in Crystal Lake. She was the last member of her fam­ ily, her brother, Leopold Krahn, of Barrington having passed away just one month ago--May 15 of this present year. Mrs. Simes was a member df the Methodist Episcopal church and be­ fore her health broke down several years ago was very active in church enterprises. She was a woman to whom religion meant much and, tho physical weakness and suffering kept her from p/ublic church services, especially dur­ ing the past few years, she neverthe­ less found great comfort in the thought of future rest in the "Father's home of many mansions." She loved to med­ itate upon the 23d Psalm--"The Lord Is My Shepherd, I Shall Not Want." This thought comforted her much dur­ ing her last painful illness of fourteen weeks. She departed this life in full expectation of entering that rest--a rest she surely needed, "which remain- eth for the children of God." Those left to mourn her loss are her husband, Henry Simes, also two daugh­ ters, Mrs. Karoline Amelia Johnson of this city and Mrs. Henrietta Chubaroff of Whiting, Ind. Funeral services were held at her late home in Crystal Lake today (Thurs­ day) at one o'clock in the afternoon, following which public rites were held at the Methodist Episcopal church in McHenry, with interment in the ceme­ tery there, where other members of the family are buried. The services thruout were conducted by the Rev, Dr. T. Atkey Brewster. A large num­ ber of friends and relatives were in attendance to pay their last respect*. The minister spoke, from a text pre­ viously selected by the late Mrs. Simes, namely: "In My Father's House Are Many Mansions"--John 14:2--and his words were full of hope and cheer, especially to the Christian believer. To the stricken family his inessage was surely a "balm in sorrow--snti- shine after rain."
