whose memory VIII bc cherished
long
Charles Orlando Perault was
born on Septem Der %, 1871, at
Morrison, Illinois. His happy boy
hood days were spent in this same
village and there too he received
his education. When school days
were over, he joined his fa,hcr in
/ the implement business and proved
| himself "A valuable aid to his
father
| In the ed home town he met
voocd and married Victoria Reed
in 1892. Sixteen moro years they
yed there in happy married
Jnion and four children came to
them to gladden. their lives.
Tho cali to the west reached
/ them there in 1908 when the fam
lily moved onto farm Of the ia
ther at Clark, S. Oak. The spring
of 1919 saw the family on the
move once more and this time the
/ destination was kadoka.
For year Mr.. Perault was in
business with Mr.. Steve Hurley,
who was then an implement dealer.
The following year he bought out
the Rochdale store. Here he con-
tinued in business until he was
stricken down the day after christ
mas.
As has been recorded in these
columns, his struggle for life has
been a hard and strenuous one. Re-
covering from an operation for in
testinal rupture, bronchial pneu-
monia set in with all its dangers.
This overcome, an abcess developed
on one lung and another crisis
drew near. Once more out of dan
ger, another and more dangerous
abcess developed on the other
lung. The battle of attrition be-
tween life and death had now
reached it's last and final stage,
when the abcess burst the patient
was too weak to turn over to say
nothing of having the vitality
necessary to throw off the mucous
of the abcess. The angel of mercy
gently carried him to his creator
at 1920 A. NJ. February 2l.
For five full weeks Mrs. Perault
and his son Bert faithfully watch
ed at his bedside, and their pres
ence was great comfort to him
Until the last he was conscious
and always interested in his
friends and Kadoka. The weekly
visit of the Press was a delight to
him.
The entire community extends
to Mrs. Perault and the family
