Attorney Edward J. Heydecker, pioneer member of the Lake County Bar association, and former master in chancery, died Tuesday night at his home in Waukegan where he had been on the verge of death for many weeks. He had been a practicing attorney in Lake county for the last 27 years.
During his residence in Waukegan he served as assistant state's attorney under his brother; the late Christian T. Heydecker, and later was appointed master in chancery by Circuit Judge Charles Whitney.
Last of Four Brothers
Edward Heydecker was the last of four brothers, the three who preceded him in death were: Christian T., Waukegan; Charles, Waukegan; and Adolph, Wadsworth. The family home was in Newport township, where the deceased was born in 1855.

"The Search for Light" was the subject of the address which attracted about 90 women from Antioch and vicinity to the Methodist church last Sunday night. It was delivered by Miss Pearl Hughes, a former resident of Antioch, who recently returned to this city on an extended furlough from India.
Miss Hughes is a very interesting as well as instructive lecturer. She held her audience in what might almost be termed a spell as she related in a very unique manner the story of the power which the "unknown God" had in leading a native Indian from the superstitious background of the Indian religion to a realization of the "true light", the theme of her talk.
In addition to the lecture, a very fine musical program was rendered. A ladies' chorus of 15 members, under the direction of S. E. Pollock, offered several numbers, Mrs. H. B. Gaston sang a solo, and Mmes. Rex Bonser and Chas. Lux sang a duet. Mrs. Bohi presided at the meeting.
