A/taother was called to her final reward on Saturday, Feb. 23, 1935, v. hen Mrs. Mary Justen, wife of Jacob Justen of the Green street firm of Jacob Justen & Sons, furniture and undertaking, died at ll;30 a. m. at the age of 73 years. She had been in poor health for several years although she was confined to her bed only the last wetk before her death when her heart be* came worn out. Mary Buch was born in North At* terbuiy. Mass., on April 10, 1861, and was the daughter of Joseph and Kathrine Buch. When quite small, she moved with her parents to Ohio, where they remained only' a short time, deciding to move farther west and came to Illinois, where tjhey vjere among the poineer farmers of this vicinity. Coming to McHenry with her parents at the age of three years, she grew with the community and saw this city develop from a small village ox only a few primitve homes to the size that it is today. On February 5, 1884, she was united in marriage to J^cob Justen at St. John's church, Johnsburg, the ceremony being performed by Father Greenbaum, pastor of the church al that time. The ceremony took place ! in the old church which was destroyed J by fire several years ago. To this union was born nine children, four of whom preceded their mother in death. " ' V Celebrated Golden Wedding . Just a year ago, on Feb. 5, Mr. ai.d Mrs. Justen celebrated their golden wedding, spending a happy day -tfith their children, relatives and friends and rergiying h<>*ntifui flnwprs and gifts- Having lived practically their entire lifetime in this .vicinity, there is 'probably no one who was better known or more highly respected than Mrs. Justen. During the passing years she had been a constant help to her husband and children, assisting in the store as well as caring for her home, living over the store for many years until her new home w&s built in 1915. Mrs. Justen is survived by her hus hand, Jacob Justen, five children, Mrs. Kate Freund,. George, Albert and Mrs. Jack McCarroll of McHenry and Mrs. Henry Heimer of Walkerton, Ind.; one sister Mrs. Magdalena Bohr, one brother, John Buch, both of McHenry; seven grandchildren and one great-grandchild. She was a member of Riverview Camp, Royal Neighbors of America, df gt^CUum's Court* Woam*fl Gfttte* Rumors of the collapse of the Agricultural 'Adjustment administrjktion's local milk license agreement were borne out Monday when the advisory council of the Pure Milk .association voted to instruct the directors to ask Washington officials to suspend it. , About 300 members of the council attended Monday's meeting in the Auditorium hotel, Chicago. Thejt voted to instruct officials of the Pure Milk association, co-operative bargaining agency for 18,000 dairy farmer members, to continue their efforts to bring about individual contracts between dealers and producers to take the place of the AAA code agreement. Dicker With Milk Distributors It. was indicated that the advisory council's instructions would be acted on immediately so that the demand can be made on Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace and "Chester C. Davis, AAA administrator i i Washington. Reports have been current for a week that the milk. producers would ask suspension, of the license under which milk has. been sold for several months. For everal days the Putt Milk asociation has been negotiating with Chicago distributors for milk contracts between dairymen and distributors. A breakdown of the AAA license plan was indicates several weeks ago when producers and dealers reached a private agreement to increase milk prices to $2.20 a hundred pounds (4.7 cents a quart) from $2 a hundred (4.30 cents a quart). Again Control Milk Price The practical effect of the license suspension will be to place the cooperative farmers' association and the Chicago milk dealers again in control of the local riiilk price situation. The" farmers and dealers determined the January milk price- themselves, since the AAA official monthly farm price w&s not posted until ihe two groups had aeted. The agreed price was submitted to AAA officials for formal approval. olic Order of Foresters and of the Christian Mothers of St. Mary's church. Funeral services were held Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock at St. Mary's church „ with Father Stimler officiating. Undertakers of the county attended the services in a body. Burial was yi St. Mary's cemetery, with nephews and cousins acting at< pall-beafers.
