T3atah Sherburne, pioneer of McHenry, celebrated her one hundredth birthday anniversary at her home with her daughter, Mrs. Clayton Harrison, near Ringwood, on Wednesday, Aug. 17, 1932 Mrs, Sherburne spent the day pleasantly and quietly, receiving the congratulations of her many friends in calls and many cards of good wishes. A reception for Mrs. Sherburne was held during the afternoon and many friends and relatives brightened the day for her by their presence and words of greeting. The home was a bower of flowers and she received many other gifts and cards of good wishes. Her daughter, Mrs. Harrison, was assisted in serving refreshments by her daughters who were present with their children, making four generations who passed the day pleasantly together. Mrs. Sherburne has seven great-grandchildren and ever so many great step-grandchildren. Mrs. Sherburne has lived with her daughter for only four years and previous to that time she lived in McHenry, doing,.~her own work and taking care of her garden and flowers, even during her advanced years- Mrs. Sherburne ts gracious and kindly and speaks to her guests with a charm characteristic of her beautiful, Christian character and her peaceful, pleasant personality. She is deeply interested in the welfare of her old friends and enjoys meeting and visiting with them, her only regret being that she cannot hear their voices because of her deafness. Mrs. Sherburne ts a remarkable picture of the heroism of the ages as she sits in her comfortable rocker in the home of her daughter, with the unusual record of five score years past, in which she has seen the march of time triumphant to the present age; she has seen the western wilds of a century ago changed into busy cities and prosperous villages; she has seen the Indian and primitive log cabin give place to modern civilization and palatial homes; the axe and the TOPNOTCHERS :'kw •- . ^ to Cot JOHMSGOOARID OIPN tfiQ ONLY MAAj FOUR HIGHEST AWABD? eft A, US ARMY-CAe (bnqrm>iQna/Jtfecfo/cf \ Honof, (%>D/jpf/'/x/iiMed &rt//ep$pd<?i!, Up Dirfin qmfAedJeri/icpQw <?/id, ^ CXp DfWfdfro,% cf tip u.

Related to Daniel Webster. Mrs. Sherburne's grandmother, Lydia Webster, was related to Daniel Webster and her grandfather, Thomas Colby, fought in the Revolutionary war, in which contest two of her uncles gave their lives. Her father, Ira Colby, was born In Danville, Caledonia county, Vermont, on Dec. 27, 1808, and was of English descent. He remained in his native state until 1840 when he came to Illinois and settled in McHenry. His brother came to McHenry in 1832 and returned in 1840 to Vermont, telling his brother that it was much easier to earn a living here than it was around Montpelier so they returned to Illinois.

He was completely paralyzed and was taken immediately to the Woodstock hospital where he died Friday morning about 8:30 o'clock. Reinholtz and his brother had come to McHenry with several other young friends to spend the day at McCollum's lake. They had been near the beach all day playing ball and enjoying their vacation, but dii not go swimming until afternoon. Reinholtz, in an attempt to dive off the pier, must have plunged straight into the water and his head struck the bottom of the lake. He was completely paralyzed as a result of the accident and nearly drowned. The injured youth came to the surface of the water, but was unable to swim and almost drowned before his brother and other members of the party realized that he had been injured and went to his rescue. He was unconscious when taken to the Woodstock hospital, where every effort to aid him failed and his condition gradually grew weaker until his death early Friday morning. At an inquest held by Coroner E. H. Cook Friday morning at Woodstock the jury returned a verdict of accidental death caused from diving in too shallow water. The brother, Charles Reinholtz, and his friend, George Maier, were witnesses who told of the accident. J He is survived by his parentsu?Mr. and Mrs. Bruno Reinholtz, his brother, Charles, and two sisters, Mrs. Mabel Smith and Florence Reinholtz- Funeral services were held Monday afternoon from the home in Chicago with burial at Mt. Hope cemetery. Drowra in Bangs Lake Bangs Lake at Wauconda claimed its first drowning victim of the season Thursday afternoon when Norbert Wisenenski, 17 years old, of 1021 North Ridgeway avenue, Chicago, lost his life near the diving tower. .The body was in the water one hour and fifteen minutes before it was recovered and all efforts at resuscitation were unavailing. The youth went to the lake to spend the day with his mother, two brothers and a sister and after a hearty picnic lunch Norbert said he would swim out to the diving tower and spend the afternoon. Before the distance was covered the boy cried out for help, and before aid could reach him he sank. There is no life guard at Bangs lake and swimmers tried in vain to reach the body for more than an hour. The body was taken to Chicago for burial.
