TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Feb. 20, 1947) Relatives and friends helped two former residents, Mr. and Mrs. W.H. VanNatta of Crystal Lake, celebrate their golden wedding anniversary Sunday, Feb. 16, the real anniversary date is Feb. 17. The couple lived in this vicinity for many years. Mrs. VanNatta is the mother of Robert Thompson of this city. Those from here to attend the McHenry County Business and Professional Women's meeting in Woodstock, Feb. 17, were Mrs. Peter M. Justen, were Mrs. Peter M. Justen, Mrs. George Collette, Mrs. H.A. Steffan, Mrs. Paul Schwerman, Mrs. Elizabeth Pich, Mrs. C.W. Goodell and Miss Ethel Jones. According to Ray McGee, chairman of the recent March of Dimes drive in McHenry township, local residents supported the campaign very adequately with a large amount of money being collected. Old timers will read with regret of the passing of Charles Doty Schoonmaker, 73, who died Feb. 14 at his home in Geneva, following a heart attack. Mr. Schoonmaker at one time editor of the McHenry Plaindealer came to this city before the turn of the century on a bleak March night in 1898. His first recollection of McHenry, as he later told friends, were not flattering to the little town he later grew to love. Spending his first night at the Riverside House operated by the John I. Storys, he later recalled the ice covered river, the snowy ground and leafless trees which greeted him from his hotel window. This im­ pression was soon dispelled after taking over his new duties as foreman of the mechanical department of the newspaper. At that time he was employed by M.F. Walsh of Harvard, who owned the paper with Senator Granger, Judge Donnelly of Woodstock, Will Cristy and others politically bound, the organization being known as the McHenry Plaindealer Co. Mr. Schoonmaker was later appointed editor of the local paper and retained that position until leaving McHenry seven years later. A very lovely mid winter wedding was solemnized Feb. 15 at St. Genevieve's church, Chicago, uniting in marriage Miss Miriam Beunzli of Chicago and Mr. Eugene Miller of McHenry. Two people were injured Friday morning when the automobile in which they were riding collided with a truck on State Rt. 120 near Lily Lake. The injured were Mrs. Norma Porter and Arthur Finley, both of Wonder Lake. The anniversary of fifty-five years of married life will be celebrated by Mr. and Mrs. John Phalin of Richmond road, Feb. 24. The couple and their eight children will enjoy a dinner at Art and Lee's restaurant. Mr. and Mrs. Harold Steffan and children, Marie and (Paul, attended the wedding of Miss Evelyn Steffan and Raymond Krog at an 8 o'clock candlelight service at the Presbyterian church in Elgin, Feb. 15. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Feb. 22 1962) Norbert Sauers, third grade student at Harrison school, Wonder Lake, suffered bruises and internal injuries while sliding on his sled when it collided with a car. Lakemoor's Company 2, volunteer firemen of the McHenry Township Fire Protection district were called to the Russell Weyland home at Griswold Lake Sunday evening where flames caused extensive damage.

For the first time, a Chicagoland Lawn and Garden Power Equipment dealers association meeting was held in McHenry. The February meeting was held Tuesday evening at the McHenry Country club with the R.G. Howe Distributing Co. of McHenry as host sponsor.

He is a member of the American Association of Hospital Accountants and the National Exchange club. Friends in McHenry will be happy to learn that Rev. John J.

IN CLOSING With the icy conditions we have been having I have heard of many people falling down, including myself, luckily no serious injuries so far and I sincerely hope there are none to come, so be very careful if you must venture out as it is im­ possible to know where the ice is under the new fallen snow. My sister in Chicago was not one of the fortunate ones as she is home nursing a broken ankle she acquired on her way to work. Welcome to the "Fall Down Club" Iva, along with my friends and neighbors who are also members. See you next week. Non-delinquent kids still outnumber delinquents about 75 to one.
