Hobart, 79 years old, - -'Classed away at her home in Ostend, ' ^est of this city, Friday night, Aug. ' • *% 1929, after an illness caused by ' gardening1 of the arteries. Mts. Hobart, who spent her entire •• lifetime in this vicinity, was one of . ~^|he old settlers of this region, where , - iihe was well known by everyone in . neighborhood as well as in the "V 4jounty. Her wide acquaintanceship -•-a|ras due largely to her work as cor- Jespondent for the McHenry Plainealer and Woodstock which won for -< Jfcer many friends and constant read- ,. 4re of her items. Jjj Probably a greater number of in- "lerested readers will regret the loss . #f Mrs. Hobart's weekly articles more t^plhan those of any other correspondent • '^tor the local newspapers and her tithfulness to the work has* beep orthy of much commendation. Mrs. " *.• jBobart took up the work of gathering tews for the Ostend neighborhood in r -Ijhe long ago and during all of the , years that followed was faithful to )ker task,not because of financial re- Jliuneration, but because she enjoyed the work and desired that the affairs V#f the farm community in which she lived be a part of the news of the day. She recorded the farm activities and ^he comings and goings of Ostend feople and oldtime neighbors and undreds of friends everywhere Iearn- ^ £d. to look forward to reading Mrs. t' Jlobart's column. Hers will be a hard m . 1 jilace to fill for her quaint and free #nd Natural mode of writing won for , ' Tier many friends and constant readers, as w^Jl as the many years devott -fd to the work which made her corres- %,fcondence the best known and never failing news column of the paper. During the past few weeks the Ostend colutan has been missing and her friends have known that nothing but illness' could • have caused her to cease the work. Now the busy hands --r~i§nd active body are at rest and a va- «tancy has been made in the home ' Circle which will be mourned by loved ones and friends. Mrs. Hobart, who was the daughter of Peter and Sarah Francisco, would have been 80 years old if she had lived until Nov. 29, but her activity made her appear much younger. Bora Here In 1849 She was born on Nov. 29, 1849, near McHenry, where she has always made her home. She was a teacher until she was married on May 27, 1878, to Henry C. Hobart. Besides her husband $he is survived by two children, Mrs. Nina Sherman of Woodstock and Roy Hobart, who lives at home, and two brothers, Warren Francisco of Woodstock and Myron Francisco of Wauconda. One daughter, Sadie, preceded her in death •on Dec. 10, 1911, as did also two sisters, Julia Lincoln, who died June 14, 1928, and Ammie Francisco, who died March 20, 1927. Mrs. Hobart loved her .home and •was never happier than when at work about the pleasant farm home. Funeral services were held Sunday Afternoon, Aug. 11, at 2 o'clock at the Methodist church in this city with Rev. N. A. Sunderlin of Woodstock officiating. Impressive vocal selections •were rendered by Mrs. Greenlee and Mr. Coonrad of Woodstock an'! the body was laid to rest in the family t lot at Woodstock cemetery. Pill bearers were T. A. Abbott, E. Jecks, W. A. Sayler.Ben Hutson, &-<$ ; Fred Eppel and Clyde Clark. '5* • Among those from out of town who |l Attended the funeral of Mrs. Hobart ipl ^ t3unday were: Mr. and Mrs. Earl Lincoln and family, of Harvard; Clara Lincoln, of Alden; Mr. and Mrs. Leon Lincoln, of Delavan, Wis.; Frank "Hobart, Mrs. Lucy Thomas, Merritt Thomas, Mr. and Mrs. William Thomas, Mrs. Emma Dwelley. Mr>. "Warren Fish, Mr. and Mrs. Clifford "Sherman and family, Mrs. L. Allen, Dora and Harry Allen, Mr. and Mrs. . Harry Brott, Mr. and Mrs. Mark Hut *on, Albert Francisco, Mrs. Ed. lerce and son, Mr. and Mrs. Frank fska, Warren Francisco, Mr. and Mrs. Earl Sherman and family, all of Woodstock; Peter Sqhultz, of Ringwood; Charlie Hobart, Mr. and Mrs. Glen Cole, Mjerle Hobart and Mrs. Laura Randall, of Richthond; Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Thomas, of Ringwood; Mr. and Mrs. Harry Turner, of Solon Mills; Mr. and Mrs. Harry Francisco, Mr. and Mrs. Myron Francisco and Mr. and Mrs. Alden Worden, of Wauconda. Last Sunday was a busy day at the McHenry Country club with the semifinals for the C. W. Stenger cup being played, as well as the qualifying round for the club championship. The 1-hole golf course is beautifully green, the fairways are in excellent shape and the velvety greens are perfect, making a day's play a highly enjoyable one Golf enthusiasts from various states are to be found enjoying the course dbring the summer season, all of them having only words of praise for the condition and appearance of the grounds. Among the guests who have enjoyed many games at the local golf course lias been Harry T. Gallagher of New York City, who has played not less than eighteen holes every day during the past two weeks. Mr. Gallagher, needless to say, is a golf fan and recorded some very pretty scores during his stay here. He reports the condition of the fairways and greens as much more verdant at this time of year than those of his home course, "Southward Ho," at Long Island, N. Y. "Birdies" have been the favorite with some of the players at the country club for some time but now "eagles" are becoming the popular thing, with two of them being made on the eleventh hole of 345 yards, Tuesday afternoon. This hole has a par of four, which was beaten by two eagles made by Harry T. Gallagher and E. E. Bassett during their game cn Tuesday. The first eagle was made by the club secretary, E. E. Bassett, with a 200-yard drive and 145-yard second shot, which sunk for an eagle two. This in itself is remarkable for eagles are few and far between, but this feat was immediately duplicated by Harry Gallagher, who made a drive of about 300 yards and sunk his approach for an eagle on the same hole. Many players are elated to get a par of four and swell with pride when they get a "birdie" of three, but to get an eagle on this hole is very unusual. No doubt Mr. Bassett will just practice on this one hole hereafter and here's hoping that Mr. Gallagher will come on often from New York to sink eagles afr the McHenry County club. Well to get back to our story, the contest for the Stenger cup, weHl say that the survivors for the finals next week are R. C. Klehm and A. J Mayer and it looks like a closely contested battle of thirty-six holes that will be played to determine the win ner next Sunday. R. C. Klehm defeated H. A. Remke 2 up and A. J. Mayer talked away with George A. Remke to the tune of 7 and 6. In the first match Klehm turned in a neat gross of 86, which was a hard score for Remke to buck against with a two handicap to beat. In the second match Remke yras a little off his regular game while Mayer turned in a gross of 82. Well, next Sunday will tell the stoj-y and all we have to prophecy is thtfti the winner -will either be Klehm or Mayer. The club championship qualifying round was played last Sunday, also. This was a 36-hole medal play prize tournament with full handicap allowance and some fine prizes awarded. H. A. Remke copped the prize for low gross with a score of 161 and will have his choice of a Steel-shafted club or a silver medal engraved with his name. J. N. Sayler received the steelshafted club offered for low net prize with a score of 144, while the golf bag offered for second low net was 8MALL GRAIN CROP SHOW LIGHT QUALITY Rust Damaging To Oats Crops--, County Has Weather Reporter at Marengo The past week has been a busy one for the farmers in this vicinity Who have- been threshing their grain and practically all of the threshing machines have been pulled out of their winter quarters, put into shape, and started on their season's work. The threshing season will be much shorter this year than usual due to many fields of light quality grain. Oats seems to have suffered more than barley this year, as the rust was particularly damaging to many fields and although the straw is about a i normal supply much of the grain is j light and below standard in quality. The recent rains have helped the! growth of alfalfa and clover and the | corn is making good progress during the last few weeks and with continued warm weather it promises to be a good crop. McHenry county has an official weather reporter in the person of N. V. Woleben of Marengo. Mr. Woleben is equipped with standard United States weather bureau Instruments for taking maximum and minimum temperatures, barometer reading and has a standard rain gauge. His records are not only interesting but useful and the agricultural interests are indebted to Mr. Woleben for his good work. The rainfall for July as reported at the Marengo station Was 2.69 inches which is a little -below normal. The largest single downpour was 1.11 inches. The average temperature for the month was a little higher than normal. The. June rainfall was 8.3 inches, which was more than double the normal rainfall over a period 6t twenty-five or more years.
