HUNT FOR RUNAWAY COUPLE An information has been filed against H. Kolberg, one of the final inspectors of the Woodstock factory, who last Sunday ran away with a Mrs. Piske, who is the wife of Mr. Kolberg's brother-in-law. Mr. Kolberg left a wife and two children, and Mrs. Piske left her husband and five children. When last heard of the runaway couple were in Batavia, Ill., but as Kolberg had very little money with him, it is not thought that they will get very far. They left in a Ford car. State's Attorney Lumley has had Kolberg's wages attached and is on the trail of the man, whom he expects to catch within a day or two.	Help Avoid the Spread of Spanish Influenza About thirty families in Crystal Lake are now afflicted with the Spanish influenza, in some cases only one member of the family and in other cases as many as three or four members suffering with the disease, so that it is estimated that there are fifty or sixty cases of the ailment in town. All possible precautions should be taken to avoid a spread of the epidemic. While the disease does not legally require the placarding of the house, unnecessary visiting of such premises is prohibited,and sufferers from the influenza should be isolated from the rest of the family, and the victim is not to attend any public gathering until five days after he is pronounced free from all symptoms of the disease. Other occupants of the premises must not attend public gatherings, and the usual disinfecting should be done. Public funerals are only permitted when the body is perfectly embalmed, and when a body is not embalmed, but enclosed in a tight casket with the cover partly of glass, the cover must not be removed in public. Col. P. S. Doane head of the health section of the shipping board at Washington, thinks it quite possible that the epidemic was started by Huns.

MALLORY	Josiah Walkup The subject of this discourse, was born in Green Briar Co., Va, Feb 22nd, 1815, and died in this village Sept. 12th, 1876 in the 62nd year of his age. He spent the years of his child-hood youth, & early manhood, with his parents in Va, where he received all of the rudiments of a common school education which theschools of the neighborhood could afford. He was brought up by his parents with habits of industry, temperance, and frugality. His parents were Correct, and Upright people. His Mother was distinguished for ability both physical and mental. For many years she was a devoted christian woman and a memer of the Presbeterian Church, and consequently her children were carefully instructed in religion. Thus in early life was laid deep and droad the good foundation upon which the Character of our departed brother was constructed. In 1835 he removed with his parents to this county (McHenry,) where he has resided ever since. In 1836 just as he had arrived at his majority, before there was any public religious worship in his neighborhood he became the subject of religious awakening the result of the Holy Spirit's work in connection with the life work of his (now Sainted) Mother. His Conversion was not very distinctly marked at first. He saw himself as a Christian as trees walking. ...............(illegible after) <snip> In March 1840, he was united in Matrimony with MissMargaret P. St. Clair. (continued on following page) The newly married couple establishedtheir home near this village, long before there was any village here. Here on the farm & in this village they have lived ever since. As a man he possessed more than ordinary physical & mental endowments. He inherited a sound mind from his mother, above the average mind of men. He was always a good speaker, especially on religious subjects. The fire on the family alter was never allowed to go out. He made God's word the main of his council. For 21 years he has acted as station agent at this station. For a number of years he was Supervisor of this town. (Nunda). In 1837 he was appointed Class Leader, in the church, & for 39 years has held that office. For 25 years he has been Superintendent of Sabbath Schools. He lived Honored & Respected by ALL, and his death has caused all to mourn near and far, who knew Josiah Walkup. --------------------------------------------- The whole of the discourse delivered by Rev. E.M. Boring, at the funeral has been sent to the county papers for publication. Notes: Josiah Walkup was a prominent citzen of the early town of Nunda. Ira M.
