CENTURY-PLUS OF FAMILY HISTORY (Continued from pog« 1) J \ ; charts, the large colored photos of the Eifel villages, old time photos, and maps! A late afteroon sun streamed through the stained glass windows of St. John's as the Rev. James G. Gaynor, pastor of St. Mary of the Assumption church, McHenry, of­ ficiated at the Mass. He replaced the Rev. Leo Barel, St. John's pastor, who was called out of town due to illness in his family. Unlike the usual family reunion, the Freund Fest brought together degrees of relationship ranging from first to eleventh cousins. States represented were California, Oregon, Missouri, Colorado, Nebraska, Ohio, Minnesota, Michigan, Florida, Iowa, Illinois art^ Mississippi. Among those taking part was Mrs. Gertrude Davis, last living grandchild of the immigrant Johann Freund of Engeln, Germany. At 93 years of age, she traveled from Mississippi. Johann Freund was born in 1808 and im­ migrated to this country in 1842, the fourth immigrant from Eifel to this area. Similarities and differences were discussed by the cousins in at­ tendance. They found that they retained a fondness for playing the German card game Euchre, and for drinking beer. Also, the name Freund is pronounced in the German way in Wisconsin and some communities in Michigan; in others, such as John- sburg, it is pronounced like Friend. Dr. Freund and his wife, Astrid, were overwhelmed by the response to, and interest in the event. Much of that interest centered around the display which included the 18-foot chart of the another reunion, Dr. Freund suggested that it be in the Eifel region of the Rhineland, where the Freunds originated. However, since some of these villages have less than 10 homes, facilities would need to be made in a larger, nearby city. It was between 130 and 140 years ago that the ancestors of the Freunds made their fateful decision to emigrate to this country, where they found opportunities beyond what arty of them had anticipated. Many of their descendants remaind and left their own heritage for future generations. MUSIN - AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) could probably make a nice profit. The caller, a former Chicago school leacher. observed that many children living in that metropolitan area had never seen Lake Michigan except from i he shoreline. Is it possible there are many living in McHenry who have never had the pleasure of a leisurely ride on the Fox river0 If that is true, isn't it time we capitalized on a natural attribute as other communities have done?

Plaque Old Stage Stop McHenry County Historical society Historic Sites chairman, Shuji Kimura of Crystal Lake, recently announced that the society's eighth plaque will be placed on the John A. Kennedy house built about 1853. This stately old brick house, which com­ bines the features of Federal and Greek Revival architecture, is located at 17817 Route 14, west of Woodstock. It was once a stage stop on the old Northwest Stage line. In 1950 it was purchased by the Lyle Paulsen family. \ Long recognized as a landmark in the area, the Kennedy house served as an overnight stage stop just prior to the rise of the railroads in McHenry county. During the heyday of the stages, relay stations were set at intervals of 12 or 15 miles, where fresh horses were kept to replace the worn ones. A journey from Chicago to Galena took two days regardless of whether one took the northern or southern route, and a stage passenger was likely to pay a fare of from five to six cents per mile. In an effort to encourage and publicize local preservation efforts like those of the Paulsens in the restoration of county historical structures, the Historical society has been awarding plaques. The brief ceremony will take place Saturday, Sept. 11. at 1:30 p.m. and the public is cordially invited to attend. Light refreshments will be served immediately following the presen­ tation For additional information concerning historic plaquing, contact the museum at 815-923-2267.
