He died following a major operation which he underwent the previous day, Jane 27. The deceased was born on a farm on the Crystal Lake road, south of McHenry, on June 3, 1861. He was the aon of James and Johanna Doherty, both of whom were natives Of Ireland. He attended the country schools in that vicinity when McHenry was bat a few decadee old. Although he had intended to attend college, sickness prevented his leaving at the time, so he took up the trade -of a building contractor, and was responeible for the erection of several of the buildings and homes in the city which stand today as a tribute to his handiwork and skill at his trade. One of these is his late home on the southwest corner of Green and Washington streets. BuUt Farmers Mffl Another of theee structures Ka Doherty was contractor for is the McHenry County Farmers Co-opera*- tive Association, more simply known as the "Farmers Mill" in West Mc Henry.

THESE-DAY JCOTIC* OF DVTSIIT TO WKD TO BE ABOLISHED Of STATE Effective next Tuesday, the Illinois msrriage hygiene lsw will be amended to make it easier, less confusing and less costly for altar-bound couples to obtain a license, County Clerk Baymond D. Woods explained this week. The three-day notice of intent to wed -- priginally put into the law to curi> "gin weddings" -- is to be ibol ished. In its place will be the provision that oouplea may obtain their tt sense on the day following the date shown on their mescal certificate and anythne within * ftfteen-day period thereafter. Licenses continue to be vaBd for a thirty-day period after is sua nee. Another: important provision of the amended taw is thst requiring the prospective bridal couple to sign the medical certificate in the presence of the exsmining physician. This will prevent fraud that has been noted in the psst in cases where "John Jones" took the medical examination and "Sam Smith" was the one who obtained the license. With the witnessed signatures of the bridal couple on the medical certificate, it will now be possible to compare signstures when s couple appears at the county clerk's office for a license to wed. Couples applying for a license in Illinois must still undergo tests for venereal disease. By requiring the applicants to wait at least until the day after date on their medical certificate before applying for a license, the lawmakers believe "gin weddings'* will be prevented. TTiere was a time when IlHnois couples could avoid local hygiene laws by going to Indiana, Iowa or Missouri for a quick, unhampered ceremony. But Indiana and Iowa joined the list of states putting health restrictions into their marriage laws, and Missouri remains as the only border state open to Illinois persons who want marriage without submitting to physical examination.
