OIVIL WAR MOTHER Of GOOD HEALTH (Continued from Front Page) year* old and settled in McHenry. Her father, William McCollum, was born in West Virginia but when he was three years of age, he went with his parents to Fairfield county, Ohio, where he lived until 1834, when he came to Illinois and on the 14th day of July they made their camp on the west bank of McCollum's lake, which bears their name. There were six children in the family, Almira, Samantha, Peter, Samuel, George and Margaret. Many Changes During Century Mrs. Button is one of McHenry's oldest pioneers Where she has' lived through an age of development and progress and she has marveled, in turn, upon the invention of the telephone and telegraph, the automobile, radio and flying machine and has watched with keen interest their development. One of the great events of the early life of the settlers here was the occasion of the arrival of the first train and the years of 1854, 1855, and 1856 were eventful ones in the annals of the county, for they witnessed the completion of throe railroads through the county. There was a little Indian village near the McCollum home and the Indians used to visit them and exchange some of their game for some of the home cooked breads and other things which they liked. Mrs. Button, as she sits alone today, happy to greet her old friends and cheered by the thoughts of her loved ones, is an embodiment of the race tf the pioneers of McHenry and of Illinois whose type is the heroism of the ages and whose sons have won for us freedom in the various wars of the nation. " She comes from a race which had the breadth of vision to know the limitless possibilities of the west, the spirit to develop them and the courage and persistence of success. From her home in this city she looks abroad todfiy and her eye is clear to see the grand result and in the enjoyment of this vision she has won the right to claim its triumph. FRANK A.
