Thursday, June 13, 1963 THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Pa§e Eleven Twice Told Tales Fifty Years Apo Taken From The File® Of May 29, 1913 A team representing the little hamlet of Greenwood came over to McHenry last Sunday afternoon and for four innings threatened to show McHenry up on the baseball diamond. Wesley Peterson, the one-armed wonder, was in the box for the visitors and pitched a splendid game. The. visitors out-hit the locals by two swats, but their six errors were sufficiently plenty to give McHenry the game. Owing to the prevalence of much contagious disease among the pupils of the institution, St. Mary's parochial school has been closed during the past two weeks. New cases of diphtheria are reported right along but thank goodness all are oi a mild form. Quite a number of McHenry folks were seen in Johnsburg Sunday. They say a camel can go nine days without a drink but evidently some refuse to be camels. The Dundee canoe club will enjoy their annual Decoration Day cuting again this year. The club will have their craft shipped to Nippersink channel this Thursday evening and with favorable weather will cruise the waters of Fox Lake tomorrow.

They expect to make several stops between McHenry and Elgin and will complete their trip to the Watch City some time Sunday. A carload of oil has been on the tracks for sometime, but owing to the continued rain storms the work of putting same on our streets has been delayed.

Conway for the renting of a large strip of ground located just east of Fox river for the site of the camp. William Claxton was called to Chicago for jury service on Monday morning of this week and just how long he will be in there is not known at this time.

Like many old timers, Jake Buss thinks McHenry is the greatest little city on earth. He was high in his praise for those who put over that centennial with flying colors. What's more he thinks another reunion on a smaller scale would gc over big. We think so too. McHenry likes to have the likes of Jake Buss come home.

Millers, were united in marriage at St. Mary's church on June 1. 4 Fifty Years Ajfo Taken From The Pilef^ Ot June 5, 1913 / There are probably pie in McHenry ;;^&lize the great number of automobiles and motorcycles that pass through McHenry daily, especially on Saturdays and Sundays during the summer months.
