Died: Saturday 10 p.m. August 12, 1911, Solon B Perot aged 58 years, 1 month
and 22 days.

Mr. Perot was a prominent citizen, a gentleman of highest moral character and
though reserved in his daily mode of living, he was constantly sought by the
outside world for his advice as he was a man of good judgement and reason. He
was a practical member of the Catholic church and during his last hours his
Father Confessor spent much time around his couch of pain, soothing his wary
soul and preparing it to meet its Maker.

Mr. Perot was a large real estate owner.

He leaves a devoted wife, four children, three sons. Dr. Clarence Alvin and
Lynn, one daughter, Miss Eora to mourn his loss, to whom the community is the
deepest sympathy.

His remains were buried from the Catholic church Sunday evening at 5 o'clock
and the largest concourse ever gathered for a funeral were there to testify to
the popularity of their friend and fellow citizen.

Rev. Father Slevier S.J. is conducting a 10 day's Mission here, his exequence
is entrancing and his discourses daily are attracting large crowds in spite of
the inclement weather.

The Sisters of Divine Providence have arrived to open the Convent in
September.
