The McHenry County Historican Society has acquired the 125 year old log cabin standing on the Ed Gannon farm, near Huntley, and in which his father was born in 1840. It could be older than that as the history bej^ that is not recorded. It has t^^*'moved once aince its original" erection. This spring Is will be moved again to a site on the Fair Gruu^s and placed on a concrete plat^^ ' to raise it off the ground it w...'t)e moved by a professional mover and later re¬ storation will be made of a wood floor, window and door frames and roof. Depending on the expense this work might have to be done in stages. The Society hopes to re¬ place the roof with the type that was  originally  on  it.
During Fair Wek it will be staff¬ ed and open to the public and Items of pioneer living will be on view in the interior. It is strange there was no provision for a fire¬ place. Farther south it was not un¬ common to do the family cooking over outdoor fireplace to lessen the danger of fire within the cabin but what they did for heat is a question. In this climate it would have been unusual not to have a fireplace but so far no indication has been found that there was an •xterior  flue  attached.
We are asking the school child¬ ren of the County ,to share in the preservation of this symbol of the past and a vsray of life many of their forefathers knew. We are putting on a campaign — "Pennies For The Log Cabin" throughout the elemen¬ tary school of the county, public Catholic and Lutheran. Containers will be furnished by the courtesy of the Borden Milk Company and the Oean Milk Company and will be placed in each school room for the children to drop their pennies in. The room turning in the most pen¬ nies will have Its picture taken along with the teache'r and public¬ ity   given.
Volunteer lobor on the part of several members will help vvith the restoration of the cabin. Mr. Frank J. Rezabek, Sr. ot Algon¬ quin with the help of Peter Nelaon of Crystal Lake, will lay up teh forms for the concrete slab. Chuck Miller of the McHenry Ready-Mix Company is donating the concrete. We hope to recruit volunteer labor when it comes to replacing the window and door frames and put¬ ting in the floor and replacing the roof. Anyone wat to help?
When the children atk for "Pen¬ nies For The Log Cabin" we hope that all parents will help them. This cabin is a symbol of all the early days In McHenry County. Two pennies a day, or more, will give the children an opertunlty to aee how their anoheatora lived. His¬ tory Is a concrete form, not Juat folklore   talea.
Rev. Leroy Mueller has accepted a call to serve in the Lutheran churches at Odessa and Correll, Minnesota. He and his family will be leaving Huntley in the near future to make their new home in Odessa, which is located near the South  Dakota border.
Rev. Mueller and his family have served the Huntley church for nine years. He was installed at Trinity Lutheran on February 26, 1956. During his pastorate here the old church building was torn down and the new, modern building erected. The mortgage' was burned on the new church just last year. Member¬ ship increased and a full program of activities has been inaugerated during the time he has served the community.
Sunday, February 28, Rev. Mue¬ ller will conduct his laat ohurch service as resident pastor in Hunt- ley.
