ABOUT OUR EDUIOII MANY COMMENTS RECEIVED ABE '; editor Denver, Colo., June 10, 1935. Mr. A. H. Mosher, i Editor of The Plaindealer, ™ McHenry, Illinois My Dear Sir: , ' Someone was kind enough to forward me ji copy of The Plaindealer which celebrated sixty years of strenuous and efficient work for the people of McHenry and vicinity, and I can- Hot refrain from a word of appreciation at this time. Well do I remember the beginnings of The Plaindealer away back there in the early days of my experience as a printer and editor, and^I also remember how the founder of The Plaindealer, Jay VanSIyke, used to write a column in the Woodstock Sentinel about the year 1873 under the heading of "Splinters," that contained many sharp barbs and much of humor having to do with the Woodstock people of that day, and that I remember enjoying as a kid of eight or ten summers. From that day until the good now, The Plaindealer has splendidly filled its place as a' purveyor of the happenings of the village and county and I recall some of its past editors, Schreiner, Schoonmaker, Walsh and others,' with pleasure, for they intelligently and faithfully filled their niche in the temple of truthful news jjjtlllitry *j*n thaa tf TwITaOsS eArWeAcrttfe «dl/l lb\*y. theA eAaMr«llyn Ub mi rds in ^ * the game in McHenry county. The pictures and names of pioneers that appear in your special edition are many of them familiar to me and 1 recall the records of these pioneers with pleasure, especially such ones as Richard Bishop, James B. Perry, James S. Ladd and dozens of others, for they have to do with my memories of other days as I was extremely happy' to be one of the purveyors of news at the county seat, where my name now appears every week as I present to the readers of The Sentinel the doings of thirty years ago, which is a joyful service just now, when the sun Is sinking towards the west and the days of sixty years ago till now are almost a reminiscence, although still clear in my mind. I enjoyed the letters you published from M. F. Walsh and other old-timers, who have left their "imprint" on the glowing record of the past. My congratulations again on your splendid anniversary issue, which was so pretentious that it might well have been compiled in a much larger community, with more facilities for doing the work. Yours very truly, CHAS. A. LEMMERS ASKS MORE "WAY BACK WHEN" Chicago, June 12, 1985. McHenry Plaindealer: Your sixtieth anniversary issue ;s splendid and of great interest. The long letter of Mr. Bennett is good enough to be a classic. The entire paper is replete with old time information that might for the most part have been lost but for this timely issue. Wbuld that we might have more of it, which could be gotten now that people realize what is wanted. Why not have a column, more or less regularly, for old reminiscences and historical data furnished mostly by correspondents? Yours, C. 8. OWEN ^ A PRETENTIOUS EDITION Bemidji, Minn., Mr. Charles F. Rentals / ^ • McHenry, Illinois My dear Renich: I appreciate very much the copy of the Plaindealer that I received this morning.

The paper has had but three owners since then, in 1898 passing into possession of a stock company. Succeeding owners have been Frank ,G.
