Author: Portrait/Bio Album, Whiteside County IL 1885

Almer Perault, farmer, section 28, Union Grove Township, was born June 17, 
1843, in Canada, and his parents, Peter and Betsey (Conkling) Perault, were 
also born in the Dominion. They are still living there. When Mr. Perault was 
18 years of age, he left Canada, where he had hitherto passed his life, and 
went to Vermont. He was employed one year in a tannery and went thence to 
Massachusetts, where he continued until 1866, engaged in the same occupation. 
In the winter of that year he transferred his residence to Whiteside County 
and bought 141 acres of land where he has since been occupied in farming. He 
has added several acres by later purchase, and owns 185 acres, constituting a 
farm which in productive value ranks fairly with surrounding estates. In 
political connections and opinions Mr. Perault adopts the principles and 
issues of the Republican party, and he has held the offices of Highway 
Overseer and School Director. He belongs to the Masonic fraternity. The 
marriage of Mr. Perault to Martha R. J. Coe occurred Dec. 4, 1867, in Union 
Grove Township. John I. and Rebecca (Moon) Coe, her parents, were natives of 
Ohio. They came to Whiteside County in 1841 and settled in the township of 
Union Grove, where they both died. Mrs. Perault was born in October, 1847, in 
Erie Co., Ohio. She has been the mother of four children, one dying in 
infancy. Jennie E., Charles O. and Eva A. are still living.
