WOODSTOCK TO PLAY FREEPORT FIVE TONIGHT FOR SECTIONAL TITLE. Results Last Night WOODSTOCK, 32; Rochelle, 29. Freeport, 21; Rockford, 14. Game Tonight 8:30—Woodstock vs. Freeport. Well, Woodstock fought its way into the finals of the sectional tournament last night by defeating Rochelle by a 32 to 29 score. The boys coached by Larry Dale just managed to nose out the Ogle county aggregation after getting away to an early lead in the game. Slowing down to a walk in the final period almost cost the locals the game. They stepped into a 10 to 6 lead at the quarter and were out in from 17 to 15 at the half. Three periods found them in a 31 to 20 lead. However, in the last quarter they seemed to go "stale" and only scored one point while the Rochelle outfit climbed within striking distance of a tie with only a minute or two to play. Fortune smiled on the locals however and the game ended with the Dalemen having a three point lead. It was quite a battle and again, the locals showed their offensive power but again disclosed their big weakness on the defensive side by falling apart in the last quarter. Tonight the boys face Freeport at 8:30 for the sectional title. It should be a battle because Freeport pulled the unexpected last night and defeated the favored Rockford team by a 21 to 14 score. There will be no consolation game. Over at Waukegan Dundee came through with a 34 to 24 victory over Proviso to earn the right to play Waukegan for the sectional title. That means both the winner and runner up of the Crystal Lake tournament have reached the finals of the sectional. The Blue and White need your support tonight. If you are going plan on going early.

THE EDITOR CLOSES THE BOOK ON THIS EDITION The editor wants to acknowledge defeat as this issue goes to press. With the aid and cooperation of others, some more competent than he, we have gone on and on in the work of producing this Eightieth Anniversary Edition and until now with the goal before us of completely bringing into passing review the old Woodstock for the benefit of the people of the new Woodstock of today. When we started on this task we appreciated it was no small undertaking, but now when the work should be finished, we must acknowledge that we have just begun and the Edition must go to the people only partly done—and indeed so small a part. Little did we realize in the beginning of this undertaking what a rich heritage those people of the old time Woodstock left to us, the people who are making the Woodstock of today. Only now, when the task is supposed to be completed does the editor realize feeble his effort has been, how little we have accomplished compared with what there has been to do. On the next page we have passed in review the names of some two dozen or more families who had a prominent part in the Woodstock of before the Civil war, all through the many sections of this edition we have pictures and stories of the olden days, there are about 400 pictures in this edition, and still as we pen these last lines to close the last pages there pass in review before our mind's eye literally dozens and dozens of names of families which we have not even mentioned. We acknowledge defeat. We started out to try and do a complete job-it can't be done, and we reluctlantly give up—let the printers close the last pages and turn over the results to our readers to be judged, not as a finished work, but merely as a milestone in the progress of events. History never changes, but after all, it is an endless story and the writing of it is never completed. We go on and on, but we never finish. ;When Mr we think we have accomplished some- ! thing, we really find that we have j only opened up more and richer fields of discovery than those we have been reviewing. And so it goes—our work on this edition is finished, but only for today. This is only the beginning, and after a few days of relaxation, we are going to resume this work again, and through the columns of the "ALBUM" carry on some of the things we have left undone in this Eightieth Anniversary edition.
In that column we want your help. Those of you who do not think we have done a good job, that we have given no mention to this or that which should have been presented, you help us, bring in your old albums, let's I look them over and get out those pictures, so that we can carry on the story of the old generation and the old Woodstock for the good of the new. CHAS. F. RENICH, Editor.

Gallows From Which Dacey Was Hung In Court House Yard July 16, 1886. [photo] Only Legal Hanging In McHenry County Was That of James Dacey of Chicago, Fifty Years Ago
The above picture shows the gallows from which James Dacey, convicted Chicago killer, was hung in the court house yard at Woodstock, on Friday, July 16, 1886. The gallows were loaned to McHenry county by Cook county and were erected on the court house grounds, to the north of the court house. They were erected by Simon Brink, assisted by his two sons, Fred S. Brink and Charles S. Brink. The latter did the painting. The men standing on the gallows, from RIGHT to LEFT are Asad Udell, sheriff; a Mr. Harper, deputy sheriff from Cook county; Simon Brink, who constructed the scaffold; Fred S. Brink, his assistant; Charles S. Brink, who painted it, and another deputy sheriff from Chicago, who is leaning against the scaffold. Dacey paid the penalty for the murder of Alderman Gaynor in Chicago, May 13, 1884. There was much excitement in Chicago over this killing, which occurred, if our memory serves us right, in a saloon quarrel. Dacey was brought to McHenry county for trial on a charge of venue. There were two trials, as we remember it, the last being on the question of sanity. The whole thing was a long drawn out affair. Luther Laflin Mills, state's attorney of Cook county, prosecuted the case, while Attorney T. D. Murphey of Woodstock had charge of the defense. The hanging was postponed once or twice. The story of the hanging as it appeared in the Sentinel, on July 22, 1886, is as follows: "DACY EXECUTED! Paying the penalty for the murder of Alderman Gaynor of Chicago, May 13, 1884. Dacey's last Night "James Dacey's last night on earth was passed in a quiet manner comparatively speaking. He slept, or feinted the sleep, a greater part of the time, but when he awoke in the morning was as boisterous and profane as ever, carrying out to the last, the threat that he made just after his insanity trial, that he would make it as uncomfortable for Sheriff Udell and his attendants as he could, until the day of his execution. He refused to take any breakfast and his guards were unable to get him to make a change of his clothing until Father Clancy arrived about 8 o'clock, when he became quiet and did as requested. Sheriff Udell used great care in making all necessary arrangements and they were as near perfect as possible. The doomed man was taken from his cell about 12:30, and on arriving at the scaffold, ascended the stairs with a firm step, never flinched as Sheriff Udell bound his legs, arms and adjusted the noose, but met his fate manfully and without a murmur, his last words being: "This is the happiest day since I came into Udell's hands." After everything had been made secure, the fatal drop occurred and James Dacey was dead without a struggle. In fifteen minutes the jury, composed of the following named gentlemen, reported life extinct: C. E. Cook, M. D.; P. W, Blanchard, M. D.; E. V. Anderson, M. D.; 0. Ballou, M. D.; Leo Galitzki; W. W. Cook, M. D.; R. M. Curtis, M. D.; Ed L. Herick, M. D.; M. W. Thompson, M. D.; R. I. Piper, M. D.; Wm. B. Hart, M. D.; E. O. Gratton. M. D.; John S. Cummings and P. S. Martin. The execution was witnessed by about 150 spectators. The day was bright and beautiful, but the event caused no excitement whatever, there not being as many people in town as usual on Saturdays. Sheriff Udell used every caution, in case of an emergency, and had 67 deputies sworn in for the occasion, but under the circumstances one good woman with a broom-stick would have filled the bill just as well, as our city was never more quiet or orderly than on that day. The body was immediately lowered into the coffin and turned over to Patrick Dacey, a brother, who took it to Chicago on the 4:52 train."
Thomas Charles Was 92 Years Old Last October 9th. THOMAS CHARLES [photo] Thomas Charles was born at Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire, Wales, October 9, 1844. He came to the United States with his mother and brothers in 1853, crossing the ocean in an old sailing vessel which took seven weeks to make the trip. His father had been in the United States for two years and the family settled in New York state at Wales Center, near East Aurora. When his older brother, Timothy, returned to New York for a visit, after having served his time in the Civil war, he brought Thomas back to Illinois in 1866, where they worked at the Stewarts in Hebron township, In 1871 Mr. Charles managed the Hebron creamery and in 1872 he managed the Richmond creamery. In 1873 he married Mary Stewart and they operated one of the Stewart farms. Robert Stewart Charles is the only living son of this marriage. In 1878, Mrs. Charles died and in 1881 Mr. Charles married Emma Corelia Murphy of Greenwood township. They continued to operate the Stewart farm until 1882, when Mr. Charles purchased a farm in Seneca township. After living in Seneca for two years, he purchased the old Murphy homestead in Greenwood township, which Mr. Murphy had purchased from the government. In 1912 this farm was sold to a son, Fred C. Charles and Mr. Charles moved to Woodstock, where he now lives. Mrs Charles died in 1925. His children are Robert S. and Fred C. of Greenwood township; Paul L. of Winnipeg, Canada, and Emma O. of Woodstock.
MRS. MARGARET MEYER [photo] Grandma Meyer Will Be 94 Years Old On April 2. Mrs. Margaret Meyer, who on April 2, 1937, will celebrate her 94th birthday, is one of this city's oldest residents. Her keen mind, good hearing and eyesight make her seem much ycunger than her years. She is a regular theater visitor, is interested in events of the day and cannot be beat for telling tales of early days upon her arrival in this country from Germany. Grandma Meyer has lived in Woodstock 35 years, since coming here several years following her husband's death, 43 years, ago, to live with her daughter and husband, the H. H. Bosshards. Later when her son, Edwin F. (Chief) Meyer, became associated in business with Mr. Bosshard, she established a home for him and continued to be a companion to him and his wife in their home, after his marriage. Since the death of her only son, his wife, Mrs. Genevieve Meyer, is carrying on in the home, where the elder Mrs. Meyer receives every possible attention from her beloved daughter-in-law. The Sentinel is happy to count Grandma Meyer one of its warm friends and sincerely wishes that the remainder of her days may be blessed with the joys which are due one whose life has been filled with good deeds to others.

AN EXPLANATION
The editor finds that there are literally dozens of family names that must be presented to our readers, in order to do justice to this subject. When we began making researches to obtain the facts and dates appearing under this title we thought we could complete a thorough survey for this Edition, but it is impossible, and we must leave its continuation for the future issues of the Daily Sentinel. To merely mention in the Ridgefield, Greenwood, Queen Ann Prairie, Kishwaukee Prairie, South Dorr and the Seneca localities, there are dozens of pioneer families, which we have wanted to include; in Woodstock there are old families such as the Bachmans, Schaafs, Leidigs, L. H. S. Barrows, Garrisons, Burgers, Eckerts, Gallaghers, and many, many others. This task has just begun, we are turning this Edition over to our readers as it is, but the work of reviewing the old families will be continued as it was begun some months ago, through the column of the "ALBUM" in the Daily Sentinel. —The Editor.

Dr. Hyde West Called Home In His 48th Year DR. WM. HYDE WEST [photo]
When Dr. Hyde West was taken from us on May 11, 1933, at the age of only 48 years, as the result of an untortunate accident, there was a hush of stillness and sorrow over the loss of so popular and valuable a citizen as he had been during the years he had been among us.
ISAAC H. FAIRCHILD Was born March 6, 1816, at Liberty, N. Y., came in 1837 to McHenry county and settled on some land near Woodstock. In 1855 he moved to Woodstock and for fifteen years labored in the cause of the American Bible Society in Illinois and Kentucky. In 1879 he moved to the farm east of Woodstock which is still known by old timers as the Fairchild farm. He was a prominent supporter of the temperance cause and preached in many churches in this county.
McHenry County Bar Association McHenry county is represented in the legal profession by some of the most outstanding lawyers in the country. For years the county has been rated high in this profession and today with many of the older members being called by death, younger members are stepping forward to take their places, not only as practicing attorneys but in the judicial field. In the past year or more the legal profession of McHenry county has been hard hit by the grim reaper. Death has called such prominent members as Judge Edward D. Shurtleff, who for years has been prominent as an attorney, legislator and jurist; Charles T. Allen, who served as assistant state's attorney and later county judge, as well as enjoying a number of years as a practicing attorney and David R. Joslyn Sr., who probably was one of the most able trial lawyers in the Middle-west.
In Judge Allen's place has been elected a popular young member of the county bar association in Henry L. Cowlin of Crystal Lake. The place left vacant by the death of Judge Shurtleff has not been filled and the people of the Seventeenth Judicial district are waiting word from Springfield that will bring a call for a special election. During the last year the legal profession of the county has seen a change in the office of State's Attorney in the election of William M. Carroll, one of the younger members of the association. Attorney Carroll succeeded Vincent S. Lumley, who for some twenty-six years rendered to the people of McHenry county as State's Attorney a service which has long been recorded in the halls of the legal profession of the county as one which has no equal on the record books. State's Attorney Carroll has selected as his chief assistant, Don A. Wicks, a young Woodstock lawyer, born and educated in Woodstock, who promises to give to the McHenry county people good service, as has been rendered in years gone by. State's Attorney Carroll retired from the State Legislature after serving six years to become the county prosecutor. Although much younger than his predecessor he has the ability and the desire to give to the people similar good service as was given by Attorney Lumley over the period of years he served in office. In looking over the roster of the county lawyers we note the names of Charles P. Barnes and D. T. Smiley, both of whom served in previous years as County Judge. We also note the name of L. D. Lowell, one of the older members of the association, who served as State's Attorney. We note the name of Charles H. Francis, who served the Eighth Senatorial district as representative at Springfield. There are some members of the association who are not in active practice of law, such as William S. McConnell, William R. Cairns, Charles S. Northrup, and Eugene R. Hoy. Also listed are the names of Oliver F. Field of Woodstock, who is in the legal part of the insurance department at Springfield and Hamilton O. Hale of Crystal Lake, who is now practicing in Chicago. The county bar association has one woman member in Hazel Black Cherney of Fox River Grove. She does not engage in active practice in the county.
The name of Paul J. Donovan could be added to the list, although he does not engage in active practice in the county. He is connected with the Borden-Wieland milk company in the legal department. Attorney Donovan has been seriously ill for more than a year, during which time it was found necessary to amputate part of one leg to save his life. He is.much improved at present, which is good news to the many readers of this paper. He is a son of the late John D. Donovan of Woodstock.
At present Judge Ralph Dady of Waukegan is supervising the work in the circuit court here. He is handling all of the work in Lake and McHenry counties, while Judge Arthur E. Fisher of Rockford is taking care of the judicial work in Winnebago and Boone counties. Again we say that in McHenry county there are located many of the most prominent and most talented men in the legal profession. Following is a roster of the membership of the county bar association: Russell Allen, Gary.

ST ANN'S MISSION EPISCOPAL
In January of 1933 a group of Woodstock Episcopalians got together with Archdeacon Ziegler of the Diocese of Chicago and Reverend Chapman of Harvard and established the Mission of Saint Ann in Woodstock. Reverend Chapman of Harvard was appointed Priest-in-charge. For a time services were held in the homes of the various communicants. Due to the kindness of D. F. Fesler the Mission was invited to hold their services in the bungalow at the Alemite plant. Accordingly an attractive little chapel was made in the bungalow and the Mission continued there. Several memorable services were held there, including the ones presided over by Right Reverend George Craig Stewart, Bishop of Chicago and another by Bishop Fawcett of the Diocese of Quincy.
In the fall of 1934 the Mission rented the house at 468 West Jackson street and moved there. Reverend Chapman was succeeded by Father Edwin B. Thayer, who also served the Mission at Crystal Lake. The next spring Reverend Thayer left to take the parish at Morrison, Illinois, and the Mission became the active charge of Archdeacon Ziegler, and remained so until his election to the Bishoprice of Wyoming. During his incumbency, he was assisted at Saint Ann's by the following seminarians from Seabury-Western Seminary at EVanston: Mr. John Schwer, Mr. Percy Gough and the present incumbent Mr. Justin B, Edwards. The Mission at present has for Priest-in-charge the Venerable Frederick G. Deis, Archdeacon of the Diocese of Chicago. The Mission has been greatly assisted by the work of the Saint Ann's Guild, who have been a loyal and active group. The membership has been increasing, and the Mission is daily getting on a more sound basis. The building fund is steadily increasing, and if the Mission is able to continue to progress as it has the past few years, the future should see a church of their own and the rating of a parish.
Legion Auxiliary Plans Future Activities Card Party March 31. The American Legion Auxiliary held a pleasant meeting on Thursday evening at Legion home, with Mrs. Freeman Giesselbrecht conducting the business session, following the opening of the meeting in the usual impressive manner. The president gave a splendid report of the recent patriotic conference, and Mrs. Leslie Tryon gave the report of the County council meeting. The organization was happy to find that the rubber matting was already laid on the kitchen floor. The public card party was also discussed, the date to be Wednesday evening, March 31, and the Auxiliary, is asking the cooperation of other organizations as to the date. On Thursday, April 8, the group of ladies will serve the Boy Scout Executive Banquet. Members are urged to attend the next McHenry Council meeting on April 2 to be held at McHenry, at which time the department president, Mrs. Josephine Soliday, will mdke her official visit, with Mrs. Marian Thompson, district director and her mother, Mrs. Eva Springer as guests. Mrs. Chris Klabunde having resigned as historian due to changing her residence to Harvard before long, was honored by being escorted to the platform by the sergeant-at-arms, and was presented with a lovely gift from the local unit. Mrs. Klabunde graciously thanked the group for the gift and their thoughtfulness of her. At the next meeting here will be a historian elected to fill the vacancy. After a social hour, the social chairman of the evening, Mrs. Albert Pierson, and her committee, Mrs. M. Soenksen, Mrs. Theo. Clyde, Mrs. Merle Brimhall and Mrs. Louis Wendt, served a delicious lunch, suggestive of St. Patrick.
FREE METHODIST This society was organized in 1865. The services were held in the homes of the members until the church at Pleasant Valley was built. The first resident pastor, Rev. M. V. Clute shepherded the church from 1866 to 1974. Rev. M. L. Vorheis, as a local pastor directed the interests of the church until 1884. The following ministers served during the next decade. C. S. Spalding, 1885; John Taylor, 1886; B. P. Clark, 1887; J. J. Schuyler, 1888-89; J. J. Hales, 1890; P. W. Newcomer, 1891-92; John Harvey, 1893-94. It was during Rev. Harvey's ministry that a small brick church was erected at the corner of Jefferson and E. Jackson, the site now occupied by Odd Fellows Temple. This church was a neat, modest structure, comfortable and cozy, and was dedicated free of debt. The ministers who served this church were C. B. Wetherell, 1895-96; J. G. Rickenbach, 1897-98; H. Crusius, 1899; H. C. Willing, 1900; R. G. Wilkin, 1901-03; D. W. Finsch, 1904-05; H. S. Willing, 1906. In 1906, with an abiding faith in the future, the members erected a new edifice at the corner of East street and McHenry avenue, and has since prospered and flourished at that location. Ministers who have served at the present location are: J. D. Kelsey, 1907-10; W. G. Hanmer, 1911; J. G. Rockenbach, 1912-13; W. M. Kelsey, 1914-16; W. T. Loring, 1917-19; A. L. Wright, 1920-21; J. M.

DENNIS QUINLAN [photo] MRS. DENNIS QUINLAN [photo] Dennis Quinlan was born at Lamont, Illinois, but came as a child with his parents to Hartland township, where he became a highly respected and successful farmer. He married Nancy Evans, who was born at Oswego, N. Y. Thirty-two years ago they moved to Woodstock, where they spent their declining years. Mr. and Mrs. Quinlan had no children of their own, but brought up several children in their home. Among these was Mrs. Ann Maher of Lincoln avenue, who has loaned their pictures to us for this edition. Mr. Quinlan died in 1929, aged 89 years; Mrs. Quinlan died in 1924, aged 82 years.
Mrs. John Ryan Is Club Hostess
Mrs. John Ryan entertained the members of her bridge club and one guest, on Thursday evening. Two tables were in play at auction bridge, and the lovely awards were merited by Mrs. H. T. Cooney and Mrs. Walter Reed of Harvard. The hostess completed the delightful evening with a delicious lunch. Mrs. Frank Daly was the courtesy guest.
THE OLD PEOPLE'S REST HOME "Come in," softly came the voice, as we paused in a door-way. Helpless, bed-fast, suffering, her face looked, with its frame of soft white hair and her blue eyes, so sei-enely happy. "I have just been thanking my heavenly father for allowing me to spend my last days here." Our visitor was following the matron as she made her rounds. "Most of our guests have accumulated a little and invested it in a small home where they expected to spend their last days. But that was lonely, and there was much they could not do for themselves, so they have turned over their home to us, and we are helping them to enjoy what time they have left." This Institution opened its doors for the care of tho aged in 1903. One of the founders who later became its superintendent and chief promoter was the late Rev. J. D. Kelsey. At first it was only possible to accommodate about ten guests, but was later remodeled to entertain fourteen. On the demise of Rev. Kelsey, Rev. C. E. Maxwell became the superintendent, and it was during his term of service that it was brought to its present standard, and enlarged to accommodate eighteen. During all these years the home has been filled to capacity, with many applicants on the waiting list. The purpose of the founders was to provide a comfortable, pleasant home for those who had no convenient place to live, yet had some means they could contribute, which when pooled with others would be ample to provide for them the rest of their life. A survey of the roster shows many names that some of our readers would remember. For during the history of the institution of the 97 who have found this home as a "Haven of Rest" during their last days, nearly 20 percent have been from Woodstock and nearby towns. At the present time one-fourth of the guests are from McHenry county. The Home opens its doors to any desiring a quiet, comfortable cheerful place to live. At present there is an aged minister, a physician, the widow of a Civil War Veteran, the widow of a minister, a nurse and others who have contributed their part in the communities from which they came. Statistics show that those who have come to the home have lived eight to twelve years longer than they had any prospect of living when they came. The home family is in charge of a registered nurse and three assistants. They are always pleased to have friends call and make the acquaintance of the guests. The present superintendent is Rev. N. W. Fink.
THE McFARLAND TRIPLETS These attractive little youngsters are Jean, Joan, and James McFarland, triplet son and daughters of Mr. and Mrs. John McFarland of near Hebron. The only triplets in McHenry county, they celebrated their fifth birthdays on Feb. 2. They have flaxen hair and blue eyes.

CONGRAGULATIONS WOODSTOCK SENTINEL on Your Eightieth Birthday. 77 years ago when the Woodstock Sentinel was celebrating its 3rd Birthday, a young man named George Huntingdon Hartford had just arrived in the city of New York. He found himself in a position that enabled him to purchase an entire shipment of tea and to dispose of it himself, direct to the consumer. This transaction eliminated the usual middlemen's profit and led him to open a small store selling tea and other merchandise to the public at about half the prevailing prices.
With the rapid growth of the nation it was only natural that the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co., with its entirely new principle of doing business, should grow, step by step, from the one tiny store to the organization it has now become. The personnel of this organization, dedicated to thrift and service, felicitates the Woodstock Sentinel and its thousands of friends, and hopes to continue to serve, with them, in the years to come.

PAGE SIX WOODSTOCK DAILY SENTINEL, SATURDAY, MARCH 13, 1937. Eightieth Anniversary Edition
IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL Lesson By REV. HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST, Dean of the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for March 14 JESUS PRAYING FOR HIS DISCIPLES
LESSON TEXT — John 16:5-7; 17:14-26. GOLDEN TEXT — That they may be one', even as we are one. John 17:22. PRIMARY TOPIC —When Jesus Prayed forHis Friends. JUNIOR TOPIC—Did Jesus Pray for Me? INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC— Jesus Praying for Us. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— Unity with God and One Another. The assurance that someone is praying for us is an anchor in a time of storm. Many a man or woman has been on the point of giving up in despair, of yielding to temptation, and has been carried through to victory by the intercession of a godly mother or father. Just to know that someone prays for us is to find strength for the knees that have weakened and for the heart that has all but failed. Infinitely more precious is the truth of our lesson, that the Lord Jesus himself prayed for each one of his followers. John 17:20 makes clear that while he prayed for those who were with him at the time, he also included in his petition all who since that day have come to believe on him because of their testimony. Before entering upon his inexpressibly precious and beautiful prayer, the Lord gave to his followers a promise which was of vital importance. 1. A Promise (16:5-7). Persecution is coming, and Jesus will not be with them to meet the trying hour. He is about to enter upon that final scene in his earthly life, which will bring it to its end in "a place called the place of a skull." How then can he say to them that it is expedient for them that he go away? Because he will send the Comforter, the Holy Spirit. Students of the Scriptures recognize in the Holy Trinity an inscrutable mystery, but receive the teaching of the Bible concerning the ministries of the three persons in the one Godhead with glad and thankful hearts. It is a subject which cannot be entered into here, but which richly rewards careful study. Suffice it to say that while the Holy Spirit has always been active in the earth, he did enter upon a ministry of a special nature when Jesus had gone to be with the Father. The essence of the work of the Holy Spirit is to glorify Christ (16: 14), and in so doing he convicts the unbeliever of sin and guides the "believer into all truth. The mark of a Spirit-filled Christian is that he permits the Spirit to glorify Christ in him and in his service for God. II. A Prayer (17: 14-26).
When one enters the sacred precincts of John 17 he feels that he has come into the holy of holies, and that he would not only loose the shoes from his feet, but also stand silent in worship and in praise. He prayed for me—for me! Each student of this lesson will wish to enter fully upon the meaning of these words as he re-reads them, in the illumination of the Holy Spirit. May I suggest three things which Jesus sought for His children? 1. Consecration (vv. 14-16). No lone is Christ's child without regeneration, but, sad to say, there are many children in his blessed household who are not obedient, not spiritually well and strong. They are in [the world, they must be here, but alas too many of them want to be as much like the world as possible. He prayed that we might be kept from evil, separate from the world, kept by God even in a world that hates him and his truth.
2. Sanctification (vv. 17-21). This means to be set apart and cleansed for God's service. How is it accomplished? Through the truth. His Word is the instrument of sanctification. Little wonder that there is so little holiness of living when the Word has so little opportunity to touch and cleanse the life. This separated life brings God's people into that unity of love—all in Christ, and he in the Father—all bound up in that "one great bundle of love." 3. Glorification (vv. 22-26). When Jesus came into the world in the flesh he voluntarily laid aside the glory which was his, and which still is his, and which he prays that we may behold. "But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image" (II Cor. 3:18). Thus in beholding his glory we also may enter into his likeness.
"JUST KID'S" the Daily Sentinel's Daily Cartoon for the Children.
City Versus Country It cannot escape even a casual observer that the Bible begins with a scene in the garden to end in a city: one may be "nearer God's heart in a garden than anywhere else on earth but certainly the dwelling-place of God is with men."
Giving and Taking Orders He who will not accept orders has no right to give them; he who will not serve has no right to command; he who cannot keep silence has no right to speak.—-Hubbard.

"Put and Take: Quips With a Punch." We have been wondering for quite some time what to write in this column for this eightieth anniversary edition for the Daily Sentinel. Eighty year is a long time and it is just about sixty-four years more than this column has been in existence. There are probably a lot of things we could write about that would be of interest to the readers of this edition but somehow or other we just can't get our thoughts together to write them. Our "Big Boss" has said nothing about us contributing anything for the edition through this column, but we have just taken it upon ourselves to try and fix up something, because we know that in years to come people will look back over the pages of this edition with much interest and we want people to remember that Put and Take didn't take a walk on the day the big edition was published. We are just wondering if you folks on the outside wouldn't like to look behind the scenes of the Daily Sentinel, we mean to join us as we, rather in a humble manner, describe the happenings around the office on just an ordinary day in the makeup of the paper. Well, here we go. About the first signs of life around the office is the appearance of "Bill" Cummins, who generally saunters forth about seven bells, quite some time before the rest of the gang. Just why "Bill" gets around this early is a mystery to us, although everybody around the office has made a guess as to why he gets up so early. Bill just kind of loafs around, even might take a few winks in a chair, until Waiten S. Beardsley makes his appearance about a quarter to eight with the morning mail and the Chicago newspapers. Sometimes we beat Waiten to the office, when he stops for a morning argument about rare postage stamps or some other important issue of the day. There is a mad scramble for the mail and anyone who beats Waiten in looking it over or getting the "funnies" in the papers away from him before he looks them over, is in for a battle. By this time Elmer Metzger strolls in from North street and "Tommy" Wood has completed his journey from the south end of town. The battle for the Chicago papers gets going good about this time. In fact, Waiten has by this time read all the headlines out loud and commented on the plight of Dick Tracy, The Nebbs and Orphan Annie. Emile A. DeCroix arrives about eight bells or a few minutes later and by this time Waiten has his feet off the editor's desk and has started his morning chores. The two linotype operators have started their machines and Omar Claspill has parked his "Chevie" in an open space in front of the office. If "Put and Take" has a streamer line in view and a lead on a couple of good stories he is in quite good humor, otherwise he is rather crabby and slouches in his chair and wonders what he is going to have for the front page. Oh yes, we forgot to mention that several minutes before eight Hugo Nelson arrives and salutes those present with a cheery good morning and keeps on his way to the basement with a song in his heart. Most always Hugo is in the best of humor and shows it by warbling a few notes of a popular song. Eight thirty and all is well, with the exception of answering a half dozen telephone calls, most of them for a most important meeting of Mrs. Jones' card club or the Thursday meeting of this or that Aid society. By this time Eleanor Masslich arrives to take over the situation at the city desk phone. Emile and yours truly feel quite relieved at this point and we settle down to more serious reading of the morning paper. "Bill" Cummins by this time is having his morning's morning at the Pfeiffer soda fountain and Waiten Beardsley has departed on his morning shopping tour for cigars, cigarettes, chewing tobacco and whatever the needs of the force be for the day. Just about now, and it is 8:45 or better, the "Big Boss" pulls up to the curb, if he can find a place to park, with old "611." If he doesn't happen to meet somebody outside the office he has his coat and hat hung up in a few minutes, otherwise it might take any amount of time. He always has a cheery hello for the office gang and his first act is to clip the end of a cigar and then he is set for the day and most of the time well into the night. If it is around election time the associate editors are lucky if they get a chance to write anything for an hour or so while the various issues of the day are discussed by the office gang and the daily morning visitors. If the smoke gets too thick we make our departure for the court house and our first morning round of the square hunting for news. Emile gets busy at his ads, and Omar thinks it is about time to start on an auction bill. Things are going pretty good about 9:30 or so. At the court house we visit the various offices and sometimes strike a story or two and sometimes we return in a gloomy state of mind to see whether Eleanor has rounded up anything. Judge Charles F. Hayes arrives around 10:00 o'clock and if he doesn't bring a tip or two we feel disappointed. Also our good friend Uncle O'Bie, who is more or less a part of the gang. The operators are either knee deep in copy or yelling for something to do. By 11:00 o'clock or so we have a pretty good line on just what we have for the day, although news keeps coming in until early afternoon. The boys in the back room have their hands on the lights a second or two before the noon whistle blows and then it is an hour for lunch. The gang assembles ten minutes or so before 1:00 o'clock in much the same manner as in the morning. The noon mail arrives and everybody looks that over. Then comes the making up of the paper. Sometimes it is 3:30 and many times later when the old press in the basement starts rolling. The carrier boys arrive and the office gang has to make way so the youngsters can look over the exchange papers and in general take charge of things until they depart on their routes. Five o'clock comes and the paper is on its way into the homes. It has been a busy day, but somehow or other the gang kind of hangs around and most every night finds some of them back in the office again. The office is always a hangout for the public in general. Saturday nights the boys assemble upstairs and play a little depression poker. This is the relaxation after a hard week. Many outside friends drop in and either contribute or accept contributions. This is a real organization and is pretty much a part of the office. Of course, as time marches on so does the grim reaper take from the roster of the gang. Gone are the visits of good old "Chief" Meyer every morning. It was his delight to come in and "mooch" a little tobacco to roll his own cigarette and then the next day bring a fresh can as a contribution. How the gang misses good old John C. Miller, who used to make several daily visits to the office. How he used to enjoy those Saturday night sessions and once in a while a specia1 meeting during the week. How the gang around the office miss dear Lottie Anderson and John Metzger. Yes, we could name many of those who have answered the last call who are missed around the office. But it is like the show business, the paper must be published daily with the exception of Sundays and holidays, regardless of God's calling of his faithful. By the way, here we are well near the end of our story and we forgot to mention that George (Pants) Wurtzinger also visits the office every day. He does much of his work at night (don't get me wrong), we mean he writes his sport stories after basketball games and they are ready for the press in the morning. Consider that day lost when the office gang doesn't pull one good joke on "Wurtz" during the day. A grand young lad, this same boy is. Well, folks we could write a whole page now that we have started, but we are not so sure but what C. F. R. will cut a lot of this when he gets his hands on it. Publishing a daily newspaper in a city the size of Woodstock is quite some job. It was general comment it couldn't be done when the Daily Sentinel started. Well here we are on our sixteenth year and going stronger than ever. Probably no where else in the paper is full credit being given for the success of this edition, so we want to speak in behalf of the official Sentinel family in general by saying we all have the greatest of admiration for Charles F. Renich. He has been our friend throughout, all these years and the esteem in which he is held by each and every one of us is beyond words to describe. This special edition is his big ambition in the newspaper game. He has worked hours on it, yes, well into the night on many an occasion. If it meets with your approval just mark it down that much of it has been his effort that has made it a most interesting souvenir edition of the Daily Sentinel. May we conclude by saying we have enjoyed these more than fifteen years association with Mr. Renich and the whole Sentinel staff. If we have contributed in any way to makes the paper successful we are more than satisfied. If we have pleased you in any way through our writings in this column we are happy. We hope that you read the pages of this paper thoroughly. If you do, then stop and think a while and convince yourself that it has been quite some job in assembling all this material. It has been a hard task and those who have labored the most including Mr. Renich, Emile DeCroix, Hugo Nelson, Charles Lemmers and others, will know that their efforts have not been in vain. This is "Put and Take" signing off in the hope that he will live to see the day when the century edition of this same newspaper is taken off the press and that he will be able to continue this story in that edition.

Local Boys Attend Birthday Party In Elgin. Jack and Jim Nevin celebrated their 17th birthday on Mar. 12, and Lawrence Moyer of Elgin, their cousin, was 19 on Mar. 9. The boys celebrated together on Thursday evening at the Fred Moyer home in Elgin. The occasion also honored another cousin, Charles Edgington, who was chosen on that day as Captain elect of Elgin's 1938 basketball squad. The group of boys spent an evening at chess and monopoly, and at the close of the evening, delicious refreshments were served, including the birthday cake. Since the first birthday of the Nevin twins, the boys have celebrated together. The local boys at the party included the Nevin twins, Jack and Jim, their brother, Jean, Gerald and Clayton Peachy and Dick Edinger. Mrs. James Nevin accompanied the boys to Elgin.

MR. AND MRS. CHARLES M. CHURCHILL [photo] Mr. and Mrs. Charles Churchill celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary on October 14, 1936. They were married on October 14, 1871, in Tioga county, Pennsylvania. For more than 52 years they have made their home in Woodstock. So far as the Sentinel has been able to learn this record of 65 years of married life is the longest of any couple now living in McHenry County.

WOODSTOCK'S CITY ADMINISTRATION
Editor Reviews Political Events of County as He Lived Through Them for Past Fifty Years
WOODSTOCK ONE OF BEST GOVERNED CITIES IN ILLINOIS; PROSPEROUS AND
PROGRESSIVE; A HAPPY PLACE TO LIVE
The people of Woodstock are fortunate in having as city officials an organization of citizens who not only have the interest of the city at heart, but also a desire to render efficient services day in and day out though-out the year. This group of citizens is headed by a man who for the past eight years has served as mayor. We refer to William R. Burns. If one were to write a history of the present city administration and the official family of the city in general, it would take more space than could be alloted in this special edition. However, it is the aim of the writer to touch lightly on the high spots of the various improvements made in the past few years and refer briefly to those individuals who make up the organization that operates the various departments which make up the city government.
In Mayor Burns the people have an official, who for eight years has given the people a leadership which has taken the city out of politics. Not only has he acted wisely in the capacity of the city's chief executive, but he has also given to the city time which if paid for by the hour would amount to many times the small compensation received by the mayor for his services. Mayor Burns has been fortunate in having associated with him council-men, who also have given much of their time and rendered invaluable service to the community. Although harmony prevails on the council at all times, this doesn't mean that these men are all "yes men" and think only one way. In fact Mayor Burns and his councilmen differ on various matters, but in the end there is always a display of good judgment and once a decision is reached all of the members of the council join together in seeing that this decision is carried out.
Light and Water Plant
We can point with pride the interest the present council has taken in the Light and Water plant. This plant is one of the finest in the Middle-west and each year the city realizes a heat net profit from the sale of electricity and water to the citizens of Woodstock and to the various industries located in the city. The light and water rates in the city are much lower than in most cities the population of Woodstock. The service rendered the people far excells that offered by any public utility. We do not say this as a criticism of public utilities, but only in a comparative way. Seldom has it been recorded that the citizens have been without electricity. In fact when the power is shut off in Woodstock for any length of time it is front page news. The same can be said about the water system. This service can only be rendered by efficient management and that is what exists in the various departments of the city. Men employed in these departments have a keen interest in their work and it is their aim to keep the wheels of service turning twenty-fours hours per day. We could write a long history of the Woodstock power plant. We have watched this plant grow with the passing years. We have watched the improvements made and these improvements are necessary to keep step with the fast changing world.
Plans For Enlargement
Even at this writing an improvement estimated at some $100,000 is being planned which, if completed, will give the plant a capacity power load much needed. The present administration is in favor of such an improvement and all necessary steps are being made to accomplish it. It will mean the purchase of a new turbine. In recent years the plant has been equipped with much needed machinery and today all modern equipment has been installed, but the need for more power in the local factories has made it necessary to enlarge the kilowatt capacity of the plant. People look with pride at the water softening plant which was installed a few years back. This was a much appreciated improvement and today Woodstock boasts of the finest water system in any city its size in the Middle-west. At the time the water softening plant was installed all of the city mains were cleaned.
Sewage Disposal Plant
Although it was said at the time the recent sewage disposal plant was planned that any city council member who voted for it would never be re-elected, the proposition was passed and approved by the people and today the citizens would not want to return to the days prior to the erection of the present plant, which compares with the best in any city in the Middle-west.
Woodstock streets are well supervised. It makes no difference whether it is summer or winter, the street department is on the job. It is true all streets are not paved and at times some streets are in need of repairs. However, when the weather permits, these improvements are always made. The council has now under consideration the paving of Calhoun street from the railroad tracks to Rt. 47, at the fair grounds, and also the improvement of Hill, the west end of South street and the south end of Dean street. There are. many other things we could write about, such as the tourist park, Olson play grounds, the city park and the public library. The council has taken a keen interest in all these worthwhile projects.

LETTERS FROM FRIENDS
DE PAUL UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF LAW Dear Mr. Renich: Being a frequent visitor to Woodstock, I have had many occasions to use the Woodstock Public Library and to receive the very generous and efficient help of the librarians. In my research work it has been demonstrated that the books in the Library are well selected and fairly ample to meet the normal requirements of the citizens of Woodstock. However, the housing facilities are obviously very inadequate; the reading space is too limited; and there is far from sufficient room for the accommodation of "the book-stacks. In this small space a balcony was erected years ago and the book-stacks are built up to the ceiling. Even under these conditions there are not enough stacks on the premises, to take care of the books and often I have noticed them on the floor because there was no place for them.
I have heard, rather indirectly, that many books are not being purchased because of the lack of adequate space. It is a coincidence that the excellent fire department equipment housed next door to the Library also needs better facilities. Woodstock is very progressive and is a forward looking city in every respect. Look at its splendid schools and churches-its own electric light plant and water works.
Its public improvements are a distinct credit to this city. Without entering into an expensive building program I think, with a re-arrangement of present facilities, provision could be made for both the Public Library and the Fire Department.
The Fire Department could be moved to some garage or warehouse pending the time that a permanent place could be secured for it. The Library also could take over the space vacated by the Fire Department which would afford a comparatively large outlet for the expansion of the Library. Of course, in a sense, this recommendation is an expedient one. I am looking into the future when a separate building erected especially for the express needs of the Library will be provided by the citizens of Woodstock. Yours very truly, WILLIAM F. CLARKE, Dean College of Law.
Former Congressman FRANK R. REID Aurora, Illinois. Dear Charlie:
It is a real pleasure to learn of the Eightieth Anniversary of the Woodstock Sentinel and your Thirtieth Anniversary as its editor.
I note that the Sentinel was founded "To Oppose Slavery and Its Extension." You have consistently carried out the original purpose by opposing all other great social wrongs and advocating and acting diligently to abolish them. Nothing is so critical as the test of time, and the fact that you have rendered great service to your community is adequately testified to by the fact that you are now celebrating the Eightieth Anniversary. I hope.that in the future you will continue to be the power for good that you have been in the past, and that the Sentinel will always continue to have leadership as able as yours. Sincerely, FRANK R. REID.
Office of STATE'S ATTORNEY Kane County, Illinois. Dear Charlie:
Congratulations to you, the Sentinel and Woodstock—to you for your thirty years of service with the Sentinel, to the Sentinel for its eighty years of faithful service to the public and to Woodstock for having such an efficient newspaper and editor to serve it. Few newspapers have such a long record of public service behind them and even fewer editors can point with pride to thirty years of service. The same qualities that successfully launched the Sentinel upon its career in 1856 will, I am sure, continue to mark its success in 1937.
Best wishes for the future. Sincerely, CHARLES A. O'CONNOR, State's Attorney Kane Co.

By CHAS. F. RENICH
My first recollections of political affairs in McHenry county reach back to the latter years of the Eighties. My father was an ardent Democrat and naturally I can remember more about the affairs he was interested in than those of the opposite party. I can dimly remember the presidential campaign of 1880, between Garfield, 'Rep., and Hancock, Dem. Four years later came the campaign between the plumed knight, James G. Blaine, the brilliant Republican leader with his associate on the ticket, Gen. "Jack" Logan of Illinois. Blaine and Logan was the popular battle-cry of the Republicans, but Grover Cleveland, Governor of New York state, was elected by a narrow margin.
I distinctly remember the excitement over the speech made by a New York preacher, Burchard, in which he denounced "Rum,'..Romanism and Rebellion," and in attacking the Democrats with those three words, defeated his own party, and elected Cleveland. This incident occurred only a few days before the election and incensed a large group of Irish Republicans, who turned by the thousands against their party. I remember how John J. Murphy, Woodstock banker, then at the heighth of his business career, but usually not much interested in politics, drove through the county for several days before election, urging all of his friends to vote Democratic. With the election of Cleveland, there was great rejoicing among the local Demacrats, my father included. Joel H. Johnson, who had had a most important influence in the early days of Woodstock, even giving the town first called Centreville, the name of Woadstock in honor of his home town in Vermont, became postmaster. He named John H. Higgins as his assistant.
In that administration J. D. Donovan was honored by appointment as one of the Commissioners of the Elgin Insane hospital and John C. Donnelly was a Deputy U. S. Marshal. There may have been other political honors that came to Woodstock, but if so I do not remember them.
Harrison Elected In 1888
In 1888 Cleveland was defeated and the Republicans came back to power with Benjamin Harrison as President. Simon Brink was named postmaster, to succeed Mr. Johnson. A. S. Wright in 1889 was appointed a Commissioner for the Penitentiary at Joliet by Governor Joseph W. Fifer, which position he held for three years. In those days all of the state institutions were governed by commissions of three or five members. Mr. Wright during the administration of Governor Tanner served as President of the board of trustess of the Elgin insane hospital, but under Governor Yates he was appointed to the board of trustees of the Soldiers' Home at Normal, and later to the state board of Public Charities, which position he held for a number of years. He was also honored by an appointment from Governor Deneen, but the writer has forgotten what it was. During all those years Mr. Wright was prominent in G. A. R. affairs, serving on the Council of Administration of the Illinois department. Previous to all of those political appointments Mr. Wright had served many years as secretary of the McHenry County Fair, in which capacity he brought many men of national fame to Woodstock as speakers at the county fair.
Democrats In Quarrel
In the Democratic party there was a fierce struggle on in 1890 for the one elective office which that party could control, member of the Legislature for Boone, McHenry and Lake county. E. M. Haines of Lake county had held this office for a number of terms. The Democrats were bitterly divided for and against Haines. John G. Donnelly of Woodstock was the Haines lieutenant in Woodstock. Grouped with him were J. D. Donovan, Frank L. Short and many other stalwarts, including my father, who was then publishing a German newspaper. The opposing group of Democrats was led by John A. Dufield, editor of the McHenry County Democrat. Mr. Haines had died and in 1890 John C. Donnelly was a candidate for the place which his chief had filled. In the same year, 1890, Judge Gilmore's appointment to the Board of Appeals at Washington left an opening for county judge of McHenry county. There were two outstanding Republican candidates for that office, both rising young lawyers with brilliant careers before them, both popular and each with a big following.
Barnes vs. Donnelly These two candidates were Attorneys Charles P. Barnes and Charles H. Donnelly. A most active contest developed between the friends of these two candidates. Those were the days of the convention system and the question resolved itself largely on which of the two men would have the support of the Dorr (Woodstock) township delegates in the county convention. The contest was bitterly fought between two groups of political leaders, which we will designate as the old and a new. Previous to that time Republican politics in Woodstock had been pretty much in control of a group of old timers, who had had undisputed sway for about twenty years. At this time a group of younger men were becoming more and more active and threatened the control of the old crowd. George K. Bunker was one of the leaders of the old group, while Luman T. Hoy was the master mind of the new group. An agreement was reached between the representatives of the two candidates that the question should be submitted to a vote of the Republicans of Dorr township. A date was agreed on and judges of election selected. Amos K. Bunker, E. E. Richards and L. T. Hoy were named as judges, the election was held and Donnelly won. Donnelly was successful in the convention which followed and in the election. In that same year Asad Udell of Harvard was elected Sheriff; William Avery, County Clerk; James B. Perry of McHenry, Treasurer and William: E. Wire of Hebron, County Superintendent of Schools. In that same year the Republicans attempted to elect three members of the Legislature and named one candidate from each of the three counties, Boone, Lake and McHenry. Southworth, the McHenry county candidate, failed of election, being defeated by John C. Donnelly, the Democratic candidate. During the years from 1900 to 1904 political strife between the Republicans, themselves, in the county ran high. In 1902 Grover Cleveland was re-elected to the presidency, John P. Altgelt was elected Democratic Governor of Illinois and altogether the Republicans of McHenry county were in a disturbed frame of mind as the 1894 elections approached. John A. Dufield had been appointed as Democratic postmaster, to succeed Simon Brink, Republican. In the Republican county convention in 1894 there was almost a riot. Judge Donnelly and William E. Wire were renominated for the offices to which they were elected four years before, but William Avery, formerly of Marengo, who had been County Clerk for twelve years, was defeated by George F. Rushton of Alden. Henry Keyes of Algonquin, who entered the contest as a candidate for Sheriff, was switched to Treasurer, while George Eckert of Woodstock, was named for Sheriff. In naming Keyes for Treasurer, James D. Clark, of Harvard was defeated.
Independent Ticket Named. Then followed the formation of a coalition between the defeated wing of the Republicans and the Democrats of the county and an arrangement was entered into by which the Democrats named three Republicans and two Democrats as their candidates. The battle which followed between the two groups of candidates for county offices was the fiercest contest in the county for many years. The regular Republicans won, and brought to an end all question as to the political supremacy of the younger group of leaders which had set out to capture the county offices four years before. In 1896 came the McKinley-Bryan presidential campaign. The Republicans in the county had named Vincent S. Lumley as their candidate for State's Attorney. Luman T. Hoy was the chairman of the county central committee and under his leadership the Republicans won a victory, in the county which was unprecedented. In 1892 the Republicans carried McHenry county by about 900 majority, this majority was increased in 1896 to 3137.
Hoy Receives Recognition. Mr. Hoy received statewide recognition for this splendid victory, and in the years following became prominent (Continued on Page Ten)

WOODSTOCK ONE OF BEST GOVERNED CITIES IN ILLINOIS
(Continued From Page Seven) Woodstock is proud of its fire department. More space is being given elsewhere in this edition, to this organization. The council has shown its interest in this department by time and again approving the purchase of new equipment. All in all, Woodstock's official family has a fine record of service. A complete roster, of the council, and department heads and employees of the various departments follow: Mayor—WILLIAM R. BURNS. Aldermen—First Ward — ARTHUR RUPPERT, RAY BEARDSLEY. Second Ward—A. L. BENNETT, ROY BURTON. Third Ward—P. E. CONWAY, ELMER SAHS. Fourth Ward— LESTER FISH, CHARLES WHITING. City Auditor—J. 0. GAY. Assistant City Auditor—RUTH CUNNINGHAM. Meter Reader—EDWIN COMISKEY. Chief of Police—HAROLD KEMERLING. Night Police-OTTO KRULL, LEWIS THAYER. City Electrician—JOHN SEAGRIST. City Engineer—C. K. AUSTIN. Supt. Disposal Plant—R. H. CORR. Supt. Streets—RICHARD FARRELL. Supt. Water and Sewer—WALTER MENGS. Health Physician—DR. H. W. SANDEEN. Milk Inspector—DR. W. W. LICHTY. City Attorney-D. R. JOSLYN. Librarian—LURA WANDRACK. Fire Chief—A. W. GEISTER. City Clerk—JAMES R. PIERCE. Police Magistrate—GRANT NOLAN. City Treasurer—H. T. COONEY.
Employees of Departments. Employees of the power plant: Charles Perkins, Carl Schacht, Lyle Schacht, John Morris, Arthur Hollerbush, William Schneider and Matt Riley. Employees of street department: John Ryan, Ralph Milton and Marinus Thomsen. Employees of the electrical department: David Hutchinson, Robert Vieregg and Roy Barnes. Karl Olhrich is the superintendent of the tourist park and Michael Weston has charge of the Olson Play Grounds. From time to time, special police are used with Homer Mann and Earl Smith in this capacity.
Warren H. Bartlett is the general handy man around the city hall and serves in the capacity of janitor. Pat Boyle, who has been confined to the hospital for several months, has been a special policeman for a number of years and has been stationed on the South street hill to aid in the regulation of traffic during the school hours. The office of city milk inspector was recently inaugurated, with Col. C. C. Miner as the first inspector. When Col. Miner resigned to take over the chief deputy sheriff position, Dr. W. W. Lichty was appointed to the post. It is an important post and has aided much in giving to the people of Woodstock high grade milk for use in their homes. Special mention should be made of Herbert Bennett, who for several years past has had charge of the city park and the park at the depot. The success of Mr. Bennett as a grass grower and his general all around work in keeping these two parks beautiful during the summer, has attracted the attention not only of local people, but many visitors in our city.
WHO THEY ARE
Roy Burton. Elected first to the council in 1928 and tied in length of service with Aldermen Sails. Has been interested in city affairs as a member of the board and has served on various committees with the public property committee as one of his favorites. Represents the Second ward.
Charles W. Whiting. First elected in 1929 and has served continuously since that time. Is called the "watch dog" of the treasury and as head of the finance committee has made an outstanding record. Represents the Fourth ward on the council.
Lester Fish. Junior member of the council, was first elected in 1934. Has made a fine record as head of the street and alley committee. Represents the Fourth ward.
Ray Beardsley. His council colleagues call him "Reggie." First elected in 1928 and served four years. Elected again in 1934. He is much interested in the power plant and fire department. Represents the First ward.
Arthur J. Ruppert. Elected in 1931 and has served continuously since that time. Is one of the council's hardest Working members. He has served on various committees, with the ordinance committee as one of his pet committees. Represents the First ward.
P. E. Conway. First elected alderman in 1927. Is the oldest member of the council in point of service. Has been keenly interested in the improvements at the local power plant and as head of the light and power committee has made a fine record. Represents the Third ward on the council.
A. L. Bennett. First elected alderman in 1929 and has served continuously since that time. Represents the Second ward and has been one of the city's hardest working councilmen.
Elmer W. Sahs. First elected alderman in 1928 and has served continuously since that time. Has been very much interested in the city's health conditions and as head of the health committee has done much to better conditions in this field of work. Represents the Third ward on the council.
C. K. Austin. In April, 1921, Mayor Frank J. Green appointed C. K. Austin as engineer of the city power plant. Since that time Mr. Austin has watched and supervised the improvements as well as the daily routine of work at the plant, until today the plant is one of the finest in the Middle-west. A keen student of the engineering profession, Mr. Austin has been one of the city's most loyal and efficient employees. A visit to the city plant will convince you that strict supervision has been one of the main reasons the present plant has been so successful. Mr. Austin is a home town man, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. B. S. Austin. An able corps of assistants aid Mr Austin in his work at the plant, including Charles Perkins, Carl Schacht, Lyle Schacht, John Morris, Arthur Hollerbush, William Schneider and Matt Riley.
John Seagrist. Appointed city electrician by the late Mayor A. J. Olson, John Seagrist is the oldest employee in point of service in the city. He succeeded the late Thomas Swale as chief electrician in 1914 and has served in that capacity since that time. He came to Woodstock in 1912 from Aurora, where he was employed with the telephone company. Mr. Seagrist cast his first vote in Woodstock. Mr. Seagrist has watched many changes in the city and has served under various administrations, including Mayors A. J. Olson, S. E. Olmstead, Frank J. Green, R. A. Pratt, and the present mayor, William R Burns. Under the supervision of City Electrician Seagrist the city's electrical system has undergone various changes until today probably no city of its size is better lighted and better supervised in the electrical department than Woodstock. This is due to the efficient management of the department by Mr. Seagrist. Other employees in this department, include David Hutchinson, Robert Vieregg ant Roy Barnes.
Harold Kemerling. When Lester Edinger resigned as chief of police in Woodstock to take over the duties of sheriff in November, 1930, Mayor William R. Burns appointed Harold Kemerling to succeed him. That he made no mistake in doing so is evident from the manner in which Chief Kemerling has supervised the police work in the city since that date. Chief Kemerling is a world war veteran, having served overseas with Company G. He is possessed with a congenial disposition and has a legion of friends in the city.
Richard Farrell. When Mayor Burns, several years ago, decided to split the supervising of the city streets from the water and sewer departments he named Richard Farrell as superintendent of streets. Since that time Mr. Farrell has more than "filled the bill." With a lot of experience gained as an employee of the state highway department for a number of years, Mr. Farrell has made an efficient head of the local streets. Supt. Farrell has employed in his department the following: Ralph Milton, John Ryan and Marinus Thomsen. R. H. Corr. People around Woodstock seldom see Ray Corr on the streets anymore. The reason is that he spends most of his time at the sewage disposal plant, north of the city, where he works in the capacity of superintendent of the plant. He is well qualified for this job from his long service as a plumber employed at the D. R. Nichols plumbing store in this city. A visit to the sewage plant will disclose to you one of the finest plants in these parts. It is well supervised.
J. 0. Gay. J. 0. Gay was appointed city auditor by Mayor William R. Burns eight years ago and has served the city efficiently in that capacity since that time. He is courteous, faithful to his duties and has rendered invaluable service to the city. He has as his assistant, Ruth Cunningham who has worked in the same office for 17 years. Another employee of the city working out of this department is Edwin Comiskey. who has completed 12 years as in employee of the city.
David R. Joslyn. David R. Joslyn was appointed recently to succeed Don A. Wicks as city attorney. The position is not a new one to Attorney Joslyn, who served several years under former Mayor F. J. Green in the same capacity.
Dr. Henry W. Sandeen. Dr. Henry W. Sandeen has served he city for several years as city health physician and has taken care of his duties with the utmost of care.
Dr. W. W. Lichty. Dr. W. W. LiChty is the present milk inspector of the city. His long period of practice as veterinarian, in the city qualifies him well for this position.
Waiter Mengs. Walter Mengs, superintendent of water and sewer in the city, has been a faithful employee of the city for a number of years. He is well acquainted with his work and knows the city water and sewer system like a "book."
A. W. Geister. A. W. Geister was appointed several years ago to succeed J. C. Pierce as fire chief. He is ambitious in this work and supervises the department like a veteran. Woodstock has one of the finest volunteer departments in the state and the finest fire fighting equipment to be found anywhere in a city the size of Woodstock.
HERBERT T. COONEY City Treasurer. Mr. Cooney's term expires following the next April election. When elected, his successor will serve for four years, as the terms of Mayor, Alderman, Clerk and Treasurer under a new law will be for four years hereafter. Under an unwritten gentleman's agreement made a number of years ago and which seems to have the approval of the public, the office of City Treasurer is alternated between the banks of Woodstock, from one election to the next. Ernest F. Fues was the previous treasurer, Mr. Cooney succeeded him two years ago, and at the coming election some member of the First National Bank organization will doubtless be presented for the support of the voters. For a few years past the City Treasurer has not placed all of the city funds in one bank, but divided it between the banks, thus neither bank carries all of the city funds at one time. This arrangement, we believe is ideal.

POLITICAL HISTORY McHENRY COUNTY PAST HALF CENTURY
(Continued From Page Seven) in state and national affairs. He served on the state committee, was secretary of the State Board of Pharmacy for several years, Appraiser of the Port of Chicago four years and U. S. Marshal at Chicago for eight years following. One of his most exciting experiences was as secretary of that memorable state convention in 1904, when Lowden, Yates and Deneen were deadlacked for four weeks for the nomination for Governor. "Uncle Joe" Cannon was chairman of the convention. Deneen won the nomination, when the Yates delegates went over to him.
Gillmore Back Home
In the election of 1898 there was not much excitement, but in the year previous there had been a bitter contest for County Judge, following Judge Donnelly's elevation to the Circuit judgeship. Judge Gillmore had returned from Washington and in 1907 defeated D. T. Smiley for County Judge. Smiley defeated Gillmore in a local primary in Woodstock, but in the convention Gillmore won out. Attorney A. W. Young of Harvard was a third candidate on that occasion. In 1900 L. D. Lowell was elected State's Attorney, defeating V. S. Lumley in the county convention.
Richard Yates In 1900
In this same year Richard Yates was elected Governor of Illinois and the writer never forgot the exciting scene in the convention held at Peoria, when Yates was named in a stampede of delegates led by William Lorimer at that time called the "Blond boss" of Cook county. There were four candidates for Governor, Hanecy and Carter of Cook county, Reeves and Yates from downstate. The McHenry county delegates were divided, not definitely lined up for any one of the candidates. They had a preference for Hanecy, but wanted to remain friendly to the winner. Cook county was thoroughly divided between Hanecy, the Lorimer candidate, and Carter, and downstate Congressman Reeves of Streator had a decided lead over Richard Yates of Jacksonville, the son of the former war Governor Yates. The convention lasted almost a week, the forces of the several candidates delaying a vote in the hope of strengthening their lines. When the time for the balloting arrived the interest was keen. The first ballot was like a trial balloon, the vote being almost equal, with Hanecy and Carter about equally dividing Cook county, and Reeves leading Yates downstate. The writer isn't quite sure whether the big break came in the second or the third ballot, but it doesn't matter, it came when a scattering of Cook county votes went from Carter to Reeves. This was a signal to McHenry county and we cast our entire thirteen votes to Reeves.
Stampede Started
But things had only begun to happen. A big delegation of noisy Yates supporters from Southern Illinois burst into the convention hall through the main door, carrying a big Yates picture and banner, and paraded the convention hall. Following this while the voting was going on "Billy" Lorimer moved up on the platform and started shouting, "Yates, Yates, Yates," while his followers among the delegates did the same, switching their votes from Hanecy to Yates. As this switching continued the secretaries lost all track of the correct vote result and a new ballot was demanded. Amidst intense excitement, shouting, and cheering, about a thousand delegates standing on chairs and waving hats, flags or what have you the next ballot gave the nomination unquestionably to Yates.
Shurtleff's First Election
In 1900 Edward D. Shurtleff began his career as a member of the Illinois legislature where he served with distinction for twenty years, and being elected three times as Speaker of the House.
Shurtleff was first elected Speaker by the aide of Governor Charles S. Deneen in 1904, and was re-elected two years later. He was elected a third time with the entire force of Governor Deneen's power in opposition. It was the Democratic members who came to Shurtleff's aid the third time, and made his election possible.
Rural Delivery Established
In 1900 Charles F. Renich became postmaster, succeeding John A. Dufield. On July 1, 1900, the first rural free delivery mail route was established from the Woodstock post office. The first rural route in McHenry county was established on March 1, 1900, from Harvard through the efforts of Postmaster M. F. Walsh. Albert J. Hopkins was Representative in Congress in those days, and it was through his influence that these two first routes were established in McHenry county. It was not long after that when more routes were established all over the county. The first route from Woodstock extended from the post office in a northwesterly direction to a cheese factory which in later years was converted into a tavern and known as "Bubbling Over," then it followed a southerly course through Seneca over what was known as Vermont road, then it swerved east to Franklinville and back to Woodstock. Charles W. Deitz of Franklinville was the first carrier and Bert J. Deitz was the substitute and carried the mail. The pay for the first year was $400. This was soon increased to $500 and then to higher amounts, until today the writer believes the position as rural carrier is the choice job in the post office service.
Bolger Tries for Sheriff.
In 1903 George W. Conn Jr. of Hebron succeeded William E. Wire as county superintendent, Mr. Wire retiring to give all of his time to the banking business. Judge O. H. Gillmore and George F. Rushton were reelected as Judge and Clerk; E. C. Jewett of Woodstock was elected Treasurer and Monroe W. Lake as Sheriff. In that year John Bolger of Woodstock was named as the Democratic candidate for Sheriff. He made a very active canvas for the office, and made heavy inroads on the Republican vote for sheriff, but was not successful. After the election Mr. Lake decided that he preferred tc live at Harvard and he appointed Charles Wandrack of Algonquin as his deputy, who came to Woodstock and with Mrs. Wandrack they occupied the sheriff's residence. Four years later Wandrack was elected Sheriff.
Donnelly Has Opposition
In 1903 when Judge C. H. Donnelly's first term as Circuit Judge was at a close and he was a candidate for reelection, an active campaign started in opposition, which was fostered by a number of the most prominent members of the McHenry County Bar. As a sidelight this apposition led to the purchase of a newspaper property, which the Donnelly opposition planned to use in their campaign against him. In the end Donnelly was re-elected and most of those who opposed him came back into line as his friends. Throughout his long career on the bench Judge Donnelly frequently had opposition, particularly among the lawyers, but he was always strong with the people and as a popular vote getter he had no equal.
Hamer Steps Out
In 1904 the principal local excitement in politics was the contest between George B. Richards, who had served eight years as Circuit Clerk, and Theo. Hamer, who was Deputy County Clerk, in which office he began his career under William Avery. It was quite an exciting battle in Woodstock between Richards and Hamer. A local primary was held and Hamer won out. After his first election he held the office for 16 years, and retired in 1920.
Many important improvements were made in the court house building during the next few years. Two wings, one on the north side and one on the south side, were built to give the offices of both County and Circuit Clerks more room and vault space. On the second floor these additions also provided space which was much needed.
Thirty Years Ago
During the years of which we now write, 1905-1906, Theodore Roosevelt had just been elected and inaugurated President, following his completion of the unexpired term of the martyred William McKinley; Shelby M. Cullom and Albert J. Hopkins were United States Senators, Charles S. Deneen was Governor, Edward D. Shurtleff was Speaker at Springfield; Luman T. Hoy was U. S. Marshal at Chicago, with Charles T. Donovan of Woodstock one of his deputies. In McHenry county Judge Gillmore was completing his last term as County Judge, George F. Rushton was County Clerk, G. E. Still was his deputy; Theo. Hamer was Circuit Clerk, with Lynn W. Richards as his deputy; Monroe W. Lake of Harvard was Sheriff, with Charles Wandrack of Algonquin as his deputy; L. D. Lowell of Crystal Lake was State's Attorney; E. C. Jewett was Treasurer, George W. Conn Jr. was Superintendent of Schools; William S. McConnell was Supervisor; F. A. Walters was Mayor of Woodstock and Chas. F. Renich was Postmaster.
Four Banks Then
There were four banks in Woodstock as follows: The Farmers Exchange Bank of M. D. Hoy & Sons, located where the Cronin Hat Shop now is; The State Bank of Woodstock at its former location opposite the Sheriff's residence; the American National Bank where the First National Bank now is; the McHenry County State Bank, located in a part of the Stone Shoe Store building, corner Main and Cass streets.
In those days the Oliver Typewriter factory was prospering, the Odd Fellows were planning to build their present Temple, which housed the post office for more than twenty-five years afterward. Many improvements were going on in Woodstock and general conditions were prosperous.
Money Panic in 1907
How many of our readers can remember the money panic which hit this country about 1907, when for some reason or another, in the midst of prosperity we had a shortage of currency all over the country and it seemed impossible to meet a hardship, the like of which financiers had never before experienced? It lasted only a few weeks, but while it did it made lots of trouble.
Smiley Elected Judge
In 1906 Attorney David T. Smiley defeated Judge O. H. Gillmore for County Judge, after a period of almost ten years of strife between these two combatants. Judge Smiley held the office for twelve years, retiring in 1918. In this same year William S. McConnell was elected County Treasurer, succeeding E. C. Jewett. Mr. McConnell served a second term in the same office later. Charles Wandrack was elected Sheriff, following four years as deputy for Monroe W. Lake.
Local Contest Omitted
We have no intention of entering into the story of the many local scraps for aldermen and mayor which have occurred in the years past There were many, some quite bitter, while others had no political significance. In another part of this edition are given the names of the persons who have served Woodstock as mayor and aldermen during the entire period of this city's existence. There may be a few errors in dates in this list, but not many.
In 1908 McHenry county and the Eighth Senatorial district saw a right snappy contest between four candidates for State Senator. Two of these candidates were from this county, A. J. Olson of Woodstock and Luna E. Mentch of Cary. Olson won out and was re-elected four years later. In 1916 he was renominated, but died before the election and Rodney B. Swift was his successor.
Senator Olson's Career
Senator Olson had a very successful career in Woodstock during the few years he was active here. It was in 1902 or 1903 that he first came to Woodstock, where he purchased the property on McHenry avenue which has since been known by his name. He was in the wholesale milk business buying from local farmers and selling at wholesale to Chicago restaurants and hotels. For the first few years Olson did not acquire a legal residence in Woodstock, but continued his political activities in Chicago, where he had served as Alderman and Republican ward committeeman. He belonged to the Deneen faction of Cook county politics, and was very influential in Cook county affairs. Later he decided to transfer his political activities to McHenry county and first sought and was elected as Alderman of the First ward, in which capacity he served until he was elected as Mayor of Woodstock in 1913.
During his career in Woodstock he advocated and accomplished very many needed and worthwhile improvements in this city. These included paving, both in the business district and on some of the principal residence streets. He secured the location of the Emerson Typewriter factory in Woodstock, which after a few years was converted into the Woodstock Typewriter Company, following its purchase by R. W. Sears, the father of the present head of the plant. During Senator Olson's career in Woodstock he was involved in considerable political strife, between himself and many of the other political leaders. One of the interesting sidelights to this situation was the fact that his opponents never succeeded in defeating him for any office he
sought and it was but seldom that he defeated them. Personally Senator Olson was a most delightful friend and companion. He did much for Woodstock during the few years he was here and it is sincerely to be regretted that his life's course was cut so short at the prime of his career. In 1908 David R. Joslyn was elected State's Attorney to succeed L. D. Lowell.
New Primary Laws
At about that time the new primary laws went into effect, which were passed by the legislature and which did away with the old convention system of delegates and gave us instead the system of a direct vote of the people. So far as our observation goes the change from the convention system to the direct primary method has not been of any benefit in the selection of better candidates. On the contrary in many ways we think it has done the opposite. One thing we know and that is that the present method is much more expensive, both for the candidates and for the public and tax payer. In this connection it has made it practically impossible for a poor man to seek public office, especially in a larger unit. In county affairs it has destroyed that old balance which previously prevailed by which every part of the county was represented in political office. Under the old convention system it was necessary to divide the offices around the county to secure the needed support for a united party. Now there is nothing to prevent all of the offices going to one town, even though it doesn't usually happen. The Democrats in Illinois have solved the problem for their party in the last few years by letting the machine select the candidates and then calling on the voters to endorse their choice in the primary. But in the last Illinois primary, Governor Horner was able to upset the machine when the "bosses" in Chicago refused to support him for a second term.
Back In 1910
In 1910 McHenry county elected two members for the Legislature, Representatives Edward D. Shurtleff of Marengo and James H. Vickers of Harvard. This result came about because of a vigorous fight between Shurtleff and Olson. Olson went out to defeat Shurtleff and selected Vickers, who was Mayor of Harvard, to do the job. He campaigned the district for Vickers and while there were candidates from other counties Shurtleff and Vickers got most of the votes, betweeen themselves and were both elected.
Conn vs. Copley
The big contest that year was between George W. Conn Jr. of Woodstock and Col. Ira C. Copley of Aurora for Congress. Col. Copley had been ambitious to go to Congress for several years and had sent out Adam S. Clow, a prominent farmer of Will county two years before to try and defeat Congressman Howard Snapp of Joliet. Snapp had defeated Clow, but Col. Copley felt that his opportunity had come in 1910, when he announced his candidacy. It was expected that the contest would be a battle of the giants, and so it was, but instead of Snapp it was George W. Conn Jr., who sought the office and Congressman Snapp retired gracefully. The battle raged all over the district which includes four counties, Kane, DuPage, Will and McHenry. Both candidates went into the highways and byways seeking the voter. Copley had plenty of funds to back him, while Conn was limited in that respect, but he had the friends and political organization of Snapp with him.
Local Candidates Line Up
Meanwhile there was a strong lineup of candidates in McHenry county supporting each of the two principal contestants. Besides Senator Olson's support, Col. Copley had Attorney C. P. Barnes as his manager in this county, together with many other influential leaders. The Copley campaign also had strong newspaper support throughout the district, but likewise strong newspaper opposition. Both Conn and Copley had county candidates in their lineup, those supporting Conn were as follows.
For Judge—D. T. Smiley, seeking re-election.
For Clerk—Guy E. Still of Woodstock.
For Treasurer—Arthur A. Crissey of Marengo.
For Sheriff—Andrew H. Henderson of Crystal Lake.
For Superintendent of Schools—Addison M. Shelton of Crystal Lake. On the Saturday night before primary day, which was in August that year, both factions held mass meetings in the park in Woodstock. The Conn supporters had the southeast corner of the park and the Copley followers held their meeting at the same time in the northwest corner. Both groups had arranged platforms and seating for their supporters and hundreds of people came to the meetings from all parts of the county. This happened only twenty-six years ago and many of our readers will remember it all. The writer can still visualize this unusual scene, two big gatherings in opposite corners of the park. Speakers addressing both gatherings at the same time, saying things against each other. Part of the crowd stuck close to where they were while another part drifted back and forth between the two meetings.
Well, it was an exciting fight, Copley carried the district, but lost McHenry county by 2000 majority. The entire Conn ticket in McHenry county won out. Conn was defeated by only four hundred votes in the entire district. Two years later he made another attempt, but lost again. He made a gallant fight both times, but the odds were against him.
McConnell Appointed Postmaster
In 1911 the writer resigned as postmaster and William S. McConnell was appointed as his successor. A few years later the writer had become personally well acquainted with Col. Copley. On one occasion he told us that by the appointment of Mr. McConnell as postmaster he, Copley, had been saved much embarrassment, as no less than a half dozen Woodstock aspirants were expecting the appointment from him.

Eightieth Anniversary Edition WOODSTOCK DAILY SENTINEL, SATURDAY, MARCH 13, 1937. PAGE ELEVEN
POLITICAL HISTORY MCHENRY COUNTY PAST HALF CENTURY
(Continued From Page Ten) Progressive Split In 1912.
In 1912 came the Progressive split from the Republican party, when Taft and Roosevelt both ran for the Presidency and the Democrats won out, electing Woodrow Wilson for President, Jas. Hamilton Lewis for Senator and Judge Dunne of Chicago for Governor. In this mixup Senator Olson by some adroit maneuvers avoided opposition from the Roosevelt Progressives, Who put a ticket into the field for most offices. Representative J. H. Vickers was defeated for re-election in that scramble, but Shurtleff was re-elected. In that year Charles L. Tryon was elected surveyor without opposition and Dr. C. C. Peck of Harvard for Coroner. Josiyn was re-elected State's Attorney. Hamer was also re-elected as Circuit Clerk. In 1914 Charles Wandrack returned to office as Sheriff, after an absence of four years from the court house. He made Roy J. Stewart his deputy, which gave Stewart his start in county affairs. Lynn W. Richards of Crystal Lake was elected Treasurer. Judge Smiley was re-elected as were also Guy B. Still and A. M. Shelton to their respective offices.
Frame Appointed Postmaster
Later in 1915 George W. Frame was appointed postmaster, to succeed William S. McConnell. John Bolger was endorsed by the local Democratic organization, but Senator Olson opposed the appointment and his influence at Springfield with Governor Dunne was sufficient to defeat Bolger. Mr. Frame's selection followed as a compromise. He served two terms and gave the office undivided attention, refusing to be swerved from what he believed to be for the best interest of the service, regardless of political influences. During the fifteen years from 1900 to 1915 the post office had grown from a small institution with insufficient help and inadequate quarters, to a new building with city carriers and a total of about seventeen to eighteen employees. Somewhere in this edition a picture of the post office employees in the days when McConnell was postmaster, appears.
Lumley Comes Back
The most exciting part of the campaign of 1916 was a three cornered contest between D. R. Joslyn, C. P. Barnes and V. S. Lumley for State's Attorney. This contest flared up all over the county and hinged largely over the question of Joslyn's fees and his financial reports which were in controversy between himself and County Judge Smiley. In that campaign we heard a lot about fines and collections, which did or did not belong to the school funds, and the Joslyn report was hung up for several years in the county court. It was finally referred to an outside judge for settlement, but the matter was a subject of controversy in the campaign of that year. While Joslyn and Barnes fought each other over these reports and their proper settlement, Lumley went ahead and made his appeal for the support of the people without involving himself in the controversy. Lumley won out and returned to the State's Attorney's office after an absence of sixteen years.
Senator Olson's Death
In that same year Senator Olson died, after having secured a re-nomination. He died only a few weeks before the election. By his death the office of Mayor of Woodstock was also made vacant. Hiram J. Dygert, senior Alderman, served out the term as acting Mayor. In 1918 we were at war with Germany and only three changes occurred among the county officials. Roy J. Stewart was elected Sheriff, following four years as deputy under Sheriff Wandrack. The latter remained as Stewart's deputy. William S. McConnell was elected County Treasurer after a rather spirited contest, in which he was opposed by Joseph Sullivan of Marengo and A. D. Wiseman of Hebron. This was Mc-Connell's second term as Treasurer.
Death of C. J. Hendricks
In 1918 Judge Smiley retired from the county court bench and a lively contest followed for the office. The candidates were Calvin J. Hendricks and B. F. Manley, both from Harvard and James F. Casey of Woodstock. Hendricks won out, but following the primary campaign he became seriously ill from physical exhaustion as a result of the strenuousness of campaigning, and died before the election date had arrived. Attorney Charles P. Barnes was named by the county central committee to fill the vacancy and was elected. Judge Barnes was re-elected four years later.
Lowden Was Governor
We have failed to note that Col. Frank 0. Lowden had been elected Governor of Illinois in 1916, and many changes in the organization of the state government had taken place. The code system had been organized and put into law, largely through the influence of Representative Shurtleff, Who Was the Governor's close advisor.
Under the new system, the state institutions were all placed under the control of one department, with a Director at its head, all other state affairs were grouped and consolidated. At the head of the finance department Omar H. Wright of Belvidere was placed, who is well known to many people in McHenry county and who placed the state's finances into an orderly and systematic condition, bringing much credit to the administration. Civil service was also given much support and M. F. Walsh of Harvard served on that branch of the newly organized system, with much credit to himself. Other men from McHenry county became active members of the state administration, although in less prominent positions.
Looking Backward
Among earlier state appointees from McHenry county which we have neglected to mention, were Robert J. Beck of Harvard, who, following his service as a member of the Legislature from 1900 to 1906, was appointed by State Secretary James A. Rose as Superintendent of the State House at Springfield, in which capacity Capt. Beck served with distinction for many years. During those years it was always a pleasure when visiting Springfield to greet Capt. Beck in the rotunda of the state house, where he was always ready and anxious to extend every courtesy to visitors.
Other Old Timers
Another old timer from McHenry county, although not as far back as Capt. Beck, is Louis Vogel, who has been in the Secretary of State's offices for many, many years and is still there, where he even now, under the administration of Secretary Hughes, holds a very responsible position. And still another old timer we must not overlook was Charles H. Eldredge, who was game warden under many administrations until his death a few years ago. Mr. Eldredge, besides being game warden, held the office of chairman of the Republican county committee for a number of years, succeeding William E. Wire of Hebron after his death. After Mr. Eldredge's death a few years ago, C. Frank Daly was elected to succeed him, which position he still holds.
Hayes Elected Clerk
In 1920 Charles F. Hayes, a returned war veteran, was elected Circuit Clerk to succeed Theo. Hamer, who had decided to retire. Mr. Hayes served two terms or eight years, and is now serving as a Justice of the Peace in Woodstock. V. S. Lumley was re-elected State's Attorney in this year and Charles H. Francis was elected to the Legislature to succeed E. D. Shurtleff.
Judge Donnelly Retires
Late in 1920 Judge Donnelly decided to retire, sending his resignation to Governor Lowden so that almost the Governor's last official act was its acceptance and the appointment of Edward D. Shurtleff as successor. In the following June, 1921, Judge Shurtleff was formally elected to the office to which he had been appointed by Governor Lowden. When Judge Donnelly resigned he had served thirty years on the bench, seven years as County Judge and twenty-three as Circuit Judge. He was beloved by all, and everybody regretted his retirement because of ill health. He died just one year later.
Small Elected Governor
We will touch but briefly on the election of Governor Len Small and the eight years of efficient service he gave to the state of Illinois. We will say nothing about the various things which stirred the whole state pro and con over eight years. Even those who opposed him most strenuously appreciate his sincerity, devotion and loyalty and determination to carry out any task to which he set himself. our good roads system is a monument to Governor Small. It was his pride and he devoted all of his energies to its accomplishment. He is entitled to much more credit for the good work he did for this state, we fear, than his opponents will ever concede to him. Governor Small is dead, but the people who believed in him remained loyal to him to the end. That he made many mistakes, we are well aware, but that he had many virtues and gave much to the people in good service is freely admitted. McHenry county fared well from Governor Small. He built roads, but he did much else for the county, which it will not be necessary to discuss.
Shelton Made Director
Among those honored by Governor Small was Addison M. Shelton of Crystal Lake, who soon after his retirement as Superintendent of Schools in McHenry county became Director of the Department of Registration and Education at Springfield, a position which he filled with credit throughout Small's term. Another appointee who held an important position at Springfield was Col. C. C. Miner of Woodstock, who started under Gov. Lowden and held through many years in the state feed inspection department. Earl Toles of Woodstock served as factory inspector for several years under Small. He was succeeded under Gov. Emmerson by B. H. Curtis of Woodstock. In the elections of 1922 Lester Edinger was elected Sheriff. Hattie C. Dake of Harvard was elected Superintendent of Schools. Miss Dake died in 1925, and was succeeded by Mrs. Ethel C. Coe, who has been regularly re-elected since. Roy J. Stewart was elected Treasurer, appointing Frank J. Hendricks as his Deputy. Stewart had been opposed in the primaries by Fred A. Walters, who lost in the county by only 50 votes. Barnes and Still were re-elected as Judge and County Clerk.
Reid Defeats Copley
The hottest contest in this campaign was that between Congressman I. C. Copley of Aurora and Attorney Frank R. Reid, also of Aurora. This contest reached into every part of the Eighth Congressional district and resulted in Col. Copley's defeat, Mr. Reid winning in the four counties by a majority of 3500 votes. Mr. Reid served with much distinction over a period of six terms or twelve years and retired voluntarily in 1934. Although the writer took no active part in Mr. Reid's first election, he did us the honor to ask for our cooperation after his successful primary contest and throughout the remainder of his service, the writer was active as his personal representative in McHenry county throughout the twelve years of his service. Mr. Reid's service to his district and the nation brought him national recognition, especially in his battle for flood control over the Mississippi river and its tributaries. Through his efforts much was accomplished to relieve the flood problem, especially in the lower Mississippi valley, and it is a fact that because of Reid's work the lower valley was not devastated this year, as was the stretch along the Ohio river. Had Congressman Reid's proposals been carried out over the entire valley we believe much of the flood loss and devastation along the Ohio river this year could have been avoided.
In January, 1935, Congressman Reid secured for Mrs. Lucy Renich the appointment as postmaster at Woodstock, in which office she served for ten years. She retired on Oct. 31, 1934, after having completed over thirty years in the postal service.
Campaign of 1925
In 1924 there were several hot campaigns, one of which was the contest between Alford H. Pouse of McHenry and William M. Carroll of Woodstock for State's Attorney. Pouse won. He served less than three years, when he quietly left the county, disappearing from sight. The story is too well known to need repeating. The charges against Pouse were in connection with the prohibition laws, which laws having been repealed he reappeared again about two years ago and opened a law office again in Woodstock. A few months ago he left with his family for New York City, where he is now located. V. S. Lumley was named by the Board of Supervisors to complete the unexpired Pouse term. Charles F. Hayes was re-elected Circuit Clerk. Another contest that year was against Congressman Reid, four candidates appearing against him. In the primaries Mr. Reid lost Kane county to one of those opponents, Will county to another and DuPage county to a third. He carried McHenry county, and in combination carried the district by a good margin. Campaign of 1926
In 1926 Frank J. Hendricks defeated Lester Edinger for County Treasurer by a very narrow margin. Mrs. Ethel Coe was re-elected County Superintendent of Schools, following her selection in the previous year to complete the unexpired term of Miss Hattie Dake, who died in office. Cyrus Sanford of Woodstock was elected Sheriff in a three cornered contest with Deputy Sheriff Don Hibbard and Marshal George Ehlert of Crystal Lake. The hottest campaign of that year was that between Judge Charles P. Barnes and Attorney Charles T. Allen of Cary, in which Allen won out. D. T. Smiley and James F. Casey were also candidates. Guy E. Still was re-elected without opposition.
Stewart was elected to the Legislature, defeating Charles H. Francis. Hoover and Emmerson
Hoover and Emmerson were the top candidates in 1928, while in McHenry county Charles F. Hayes retired from office and Will T. Conn was elected to succeed him. McHenry county failed to elect a candidate for the Legislature, Roy Stewart, W. M. Carroll and Peter Frett all going down to defeat. Jackson of Belvidere and McDonough of Waukegan were elected. E. H. Cook was re-elected coroner; he was first elected in 1923, to succeed Dr. E. Windmueller, who had gone to California to reside. Frank R. Reid was re-elected Congressman.
Campaign of 1930
In this year Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick defeated Senator C. S. Deneen for U. S. Senator, but herself went down to defeat by James Hamilton Lewis. Lewis carried McHenry county in that election, the only time since the Civil war that a Democrat has won in McHenry county. Harry Peteit defeated Frank J. Green for Treasurer in the primaries by a margin of only 36. Reid went back to Congress; Carroll was elected to his first term at Springfield; Edinger was elected to his second term as Sheriff; R. D. (Brick) Woods won out over Theo. Hamer and Frank J. Hendricks for County Clerks to succeed Guy E. Still who retired after serving 20 years as County Clerk. Judge Allen was re-elected without opposition; likewise Mrs. Ethel Coe. We are not going into these last few years, since 1930. They are too recent and are familiar to our readers. We note that we neglected to state that George L. Tryon was elected County Surveyor in 1916, to succeed his brother, Charles, and has held the office ever since. In this survey of the politics, of fifty years in McHenry county we have naturally been compelled to be brief as to details and have overlooked or omitted many things which might be of interest to our readers. The writer in these fifty years has had a personal acquaintance with the happenings of which he has written. In some cases he was an active participant in the political struggles we have written about, but most of these are so far in the dim past that our mind has long been free from the prejudices which always go with poltical strife. As we see it now it has been a wonderful story, this story of the passing events of fifty years and as we have written it we realize how feebly we have told it. There have been many high spots in those years which alone would furnish material for a fair sized book, there has been pleasure and pathos, and as we see passing in review the fine type of citizenry which has composed McHenry county's officialdom over these years our pride swells and we feel happy that we have had a part in it. Again, we cannot help but shed a tear or more over the loss of so many good friends, as necessarily many of those people we have written about have long ago passed to the world beyond. We can see them now, one by one, as they passed in and out among us, and we can only say, adieu; kind friends, you did your work well here in this world, let us hope there is a reward in the next.
