McHenry Newsletter May
23, 1881
Died, at
her residence in this place Friday, the 29th Inst., Mrs. Fields. Her health had long been failing, and, though the blow was
sudden, it was not altogether unexpected. She was interred in the family
burying ground, near Cromwell, this county, yesterday evening. Her loss from
our midst will be deeply felt.
McHenry is still
improving. I notice a new building in course of construction - the residence of Mr. Espy.
Mr. Remus
Hunter’s residence is nearing completion and will soon be ready for an occupant.
Miss Villie
Taylor is visiting friends and relatives in this place.
Miss Effie
Taylor, after an absence of a week, returned yesterday and will today resume her position as assistant teacher in the school
at this place.
I understand
that the McHenry Coal Company will be ready to take out coal at the new “slope" about the first of September, and
the ensuing season, I predict, will be a lively one for miners in this locality.
Semper Fidelis
