A Landmark On The Move MIKE FREUND HOME ON THE MOVE STAFF FHOTO-WAYNB^GAYLORD Living quarters on the corner of Green and Elm streets? Hardly, although the home being moved south on Green served as a pleasant rooming house for hundreds of persons, dating back at least to the 1930's. The property was purchased recently by McHenry State bank for future expansion. Later, the home was sold to Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Amici of Front street, Who had the home moved this week to Sorensen road, near Edgebrook Heights. The house estimated to be about ninety years old1, was constructed by Peter J. Freund of Woodstock for his son, John F. Freund, of McHenry. The latter was the father of Mrs. Mike (Mary) Freund, now 92. She and her husband purchased the home in 1940 and the couple resided there until his death in July of 1971. Mrs. Freund left to reside with her children following a broken hip a year later. The move from the corner of Richmond road, just north of Elm street, to the south part of the city was an ambitious project. Utility poles and large branches of trees had to be removed for passage in the block near East campus. As the two-story, nine-room residence passed through the Green street business district, the unusual sight attracted almost as many persons as a parade. A landmark has left the corner it has occupied for almost a century, but fond memories will remain with the Freund family. MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) recent months, to be sure. But this week Mrs. Ethel Hartman came to the defense of the post office, at least as it concerns our McHenry operation. She showed us an envelope addressed to her with this address: Bay township,, near Pistakee lake and bay, McHenry. Without dela> the message reached her. Kind words are welcome at a time when most people seem to enjoy finding fault.

Nick Norlovk of LaGrange, informed county police that a marine radio-telephone was taken from his boat last week while it was secured at Har­ mony Resort, 614 Bald Knob road, McHenry. Police caution bicycle owners to be alert to the fact that numerous bicycle thefts have oeen reported in the city in the past two weeks. About a dozen bikes have been taken from inside garages, yards and from in front of business places where they were left unat­ tended.
