ADOLPH TIETZ DEAD PtfftM Away at Her Late Home FHdaj Montag _ Mrs. Adolph Tietz, who during the past five years has made her home in McHenry, passed s^ysy at h^r late home on Elm street last Friday morning. The deceased had not been well for some time past, but was able to be up and around until five weeks ago, when her condition became ser­ ious. She grew steadily worse from day to day and notwithstanding that everything possible was done for her by the family physician as well as the members of liter family, her strength gradually faded away until death brought a relief to her suffer­ ing. The deceased, whose maiden name was Augusta Thorn, was the young­ est of a family of eleven children Her parents are dead, while of the eleven children she is the seventh to pass away. She was born on a farm near Theresa, Wis., where she was raised and grew to womanhood. She was united in marriage to Adolph Tietz in Chicago On July 20, 1890, and for twenty years after her marriage she continued tp make that ity her home. Five years ago her husband purchased the McHenry bakery and from that time until her death she made her home in this vil- lnp. She was the mother ef three chil­ dren, as follows: Elmer, who was killed by being run over by a coal wagon in the city of Chicago. He was twelve years of age at the time of the fatality. Adolph, who returned home only a short time ago, after serving a four __ year term in the United States navy, and Lydia, who is at home. Besides the two living children, she leaves a grief stricken husband, three sisters and one brother. The sisters and brother all reside in Wisconsin. Mrs. Tietz, during her residence in McHenry, made many friends here. She was always a familiar figure in the little Elm street bakery, where she could be found busying herself at almost ally time of day or even­ ing. She took a great interest in the business and always proved a big help to her husband. She was a member of the Riverview Camp, R. N. A., proving herself a good work­ er for the cause at all times. The funeral was held on Sun­ day afternoon from the Universalist church, Rev. John-Ratcliff, pastor of the church, performing the last sad rites. The Royal Neighbors • attend­ ed the funeral in a body, while the church was quite comfortably filled with friends of the deceased, who had come to pay her their last es­ teem and respect. The remains were laid to rest in Woodland cemetery. The family has the sympathy of our people in this, their darkest hour.

Closes The news of the closing of the Cit­ izens' State bank at Crystal Lake last Friday morning caused quite a sensa­ tion thruout McHenry county and no little amount of anxiety to the direc­ tors, stockholders and depositors of the institution. The Plaindealer is not going into details regarding the clos­ ing of the bank, as most of our read­ ers are already quite thoroly informed thru accounts which have appeared in the metropolitan papers. We will ven­ ture to say, however, that conditions at Crystal Lake are about as serious as pictured in the big daily papers and altho-an effort is being made to reopen the institution at an early date, we are reliably informed that this is scarcely possible. Fremont Hoy of Woodstock, who controls sev­ eral banks in McHenry county, in­ cluding the Crystal Lake State bank and the Hoy bank in this village, of­ fered to take over the bank that is now in such serious trouble, but up to the time of going to press no definite action has been taken.
