Thursday, June 25, 1959 THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER t"'1 K' 'S"I' '{• Twice Told Tales ! • 4 , 4 , ^ ' FIFTY YEARS AGO Taken From Flies of June 17, 1909 Friends of William Starritt were shocked to hear of his un0nely death last Tuesday. Mr. Starritt, who suffered from heart trouble, was stricken while walking on the railroad tracks enroute to his home from Crystal Lake, and his body was crushed beneath the wheels of a locamotive. Mathias Heimer has launched his, new gasoline motor boat and his family and friends are now enjoying the real pleasures thfll our beautiful river affords. The boat has been named "Delia". Mrs. Robert Wright, one of McHenry's oldest and most highly respected citizens, passed away at her home here, Tuesday morning after a long illness. The funeral took place from thfe Universalist church this (Thursday) afternoon. When one remembers that in an^jrdinary column there are 10,000 pieces of type, there are several wrong positions each letter may be put in and therefore 70,000 chances in a column to make errors, besides millions of chances of transposition, he will not be too critical. So you see the perils that beset a printer. The annual banquet of the McHenry High School Alumni association, held at Stoffel's Hall Saturday evening, was a grand success. Sherman's orchestra of Woodstock furnished music and the program was as follow^: Selection, Sherman's orchestra; piano duet, Misses Mabel Granger and Cassie Eldridge; vocal solo, Miss Florence Howe; reading, Miss Irene McOmber; vocal solo, William GaUaher, Jr.; song. Quartette; reacting, Miss Katie Knox. During the banquet, toasts rendered by Prof. W. F. Rice, Ray Page, Leonard Phillips and John Sutton were well received. Announcement has been made of the marriage of Miss Clara Immekus, daughter of Anton Immekus . and Allen Noonan, son of Mrs. Mary Noonan, which took place in Chicago last Saturday. They are residing temporarily with the bridegroom's mother. Deaths the past week include Mrs. Emma Martin, who passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. John P. Weber, Sunday evening; John Brown of Volo, who died at his home in Volo yesterday; and Henry Hettermann, who succumbed at his home in Johnsburg Friday evening, after a week's illness of pneumonia Soldier braves who returned to civilian life the past week include Louis Stoffel, James Doherty, Henry Freund, Edward Rossman, Harry Alexander, Earl Whiting ^nd John Zens. Chris Norager, proprietor of the Orchard Beach resort, left New York today on board the United States for a six week's business trip to Finland. By a strange coincidence, this is the same boat which carried his son to Russia a few years ago. FORTY YEARS AGO Taken From the Files of June 12, 1919 Just as a heavy automobile tr^k had passed over it, the ollwsteel bridge over ,the creek on the Woodstock, road crumbled last Friday forenoon. The crash came just as the .rear wheels of the big truck were leaving the structure and it was due to the expert driving of the man at the wheel that the truck did not go down with the bridge. Village officials were notified and within a short time .Mayor. Olson h^d nrWi making repairs and by Saturday night the structure was again open to traffic. The work of laying the floors in St. Mary's church here is now well underway and the seats are expected most any time. From present indications, it looks as if the new church will be opened July 1. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO Taken From Files of June 14, 1984 . Several local people attended the graduation of the Misses Elsie and Caroline Regner at Grant hospital in Chicago, where the young ladies received their degrees as registered nurses. Elsie is affiliated with the Children's Memorial hospital in Chicago and Caroline is affiliated at the Cook County Hospital. Their sister. Catherine Regner, also, graduated from Grant hospital three years ago. The uncertainty of life and the changes wrought in one fleeting moment was illustrated in the fatal accident which happened Sunday afternoon when Joe Barbian received a fractured neck in a dive while swimming at Griswold Lake, dying early Tuesday morning as a result of the injury. Joe was the 24-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. N. E. Barbian of Riverside Drive. Marriages the past week include that of MisS Florence Etten, of Volo, and Mr. Anthony Hertel of Fremont Center, which took place at St. Peter's Volo, on June 6, and Miss Margaret Hitzel of Chicago, and Mr. Edward Mertes, of Pistakee Bay, which was solemnized at St. Jarlath's Church, Chicago on June 9. Considerable damage has been done by winds here recently. During a brief shower here .Monday evening, one of the shelters at the golf course was blown across the fairways and one of the greens, digging up the green sod. Out buildings were blown over and cupolas blown from barns. In the storm of last week silos were blown over, trees knocked down and the barn at the D. Granger home was demolished.

Vocation Days Sunday I drove my son, Fred, up to St. Nazianz, Wis., where he will stay for ten days. It sure is beautiful country up there and the weather was with us for a change. He should have plenty to tell us when he comes home. Here and There A week ago the Muleski family took Marvin's cousins, George and Marilyn Graber and daughters, from Trevor, Wis., along with their children to visit Santa Claus in Dundee. The Fredrick family had a busy weekend. On Saturday they were in town for a wedding and on Sunday Jot and Sylvia Zabroski of Des Plaines came out with their boat and spent a few enjoyable hours on the water. The children were thrilled with the ride and also the siren on the boat. "The Fritz house had the relations in to help Nancy celebrate her birthday, so if you heard some good music being played that's where it was coming from.

EVR McHenry, I1L Phone 277 Page Seventeen mine and I'm sure I won't forget it for awhile. I received some beautiful cards and gifts and a very nice gift from my secret pal. 4-H Cardinals The girls were sure happy that so many families showed up for their picnic last Sunday. A play was performed by eight of the girls. The father and daughters' baseball team beat the mothers and sons 4 to 1. The food was delicious and more so because it was potluck and you get a chance to try all kinds. After eating, when it began to get dark everyone sat around the fire and there was plenty of community singing. On June 16 twenty of the girls plus Boy Scouts and some of us parents went by bus to Elgin to see the Indian pageant, "The Song of Hiawatha". This performance is put on every year for the Boy Scouts in Elgin and this is live and is something to see. It is simply wonderful. Strawberries On Tuesday Mrs. Mecko, her daughter, Carol, who is home for the summer, son, Mike, Mrs. Beier and myself took our Sisters up to Richmond to pick strawberries. Some of us had back pains but the fruit was so big and delicious that it was worth it. I think I was the only one who didn't want to get out of bed the next day because after picking berries in the morning and sitting on a hard bench for a couple of hours to watch the Indian pageant I was just good for nothing. I think I'm just getting old. Don't forget to let me know what you are doing for the summer. I can't print news if I don't have any, so how about some news. Our opinion of people depends less upon what we see in them than upon what they make us see in ourselves. Annual American Legion CARNIVAL »July 1-2-3-4-5 McHenry.

LOCUST TIME The cicadas always appear on schedule and are due this month in central and southern Illinois. This year's crop comes from eggs hatched in May or June, 1946. Cicadas make a lot of noise, cause a little damage to fruit trees and nursery stock and then die. About June first the injects erupt from the spring-thawed ground and take to vantage points in trees where they spend their twoweek adult life raising their young and serenading. The raucous cicada chorus comes from the males. The seven Illinois broods, some having 13- year and some a 17- year life cycle, are often called locusts. Another invasion 1 is not expected in central' and southern Illinois until 1963 when Brood III of the species, which has a 17-year life cycle, is due to appear. It is not what man makes but what he saves that gives him security.
