On Tuesday, November 22, Charles Signall felt better than he had for some time. He appeared on the street cheerful as usual, and greeted his many friends. About midnight, November 22, 1911, he suffered a severe hemorrhage of the lungs which lasted but a short time and which took away the last spark of life for which he had battled so hard for the past three years. He was born November 12, 1876, in Lee County, Illinois, near Amboy, and moved with his parents north of Manning when about a year old. Here he grew to manhood. He bought a butcher shop in Manning and ran it successfully for three years. Then a fire visited his place of business and he gave up that work going to the farm. On account of sickness three years ago he had to give up this work. Failing health compelled him to go to Omaha where an operation was successfully performed. After a few months his health began to fail again, and he was willing to undergo more operations. At Rochester, the medical men there advised against it.

Last March accompanied by his sister, Miss Nellie, he went to Colorado for his health. But this change did not benefit him and they returned home about the first, of June. Since then he has been at the home of his mother where everything possible was done to restore his health.

He fought a good fight against the dreaded disease, consumption, but finally had to give way to the Hand of Death. Burial took place last Friday. Many friends drove for miles to take one more look at him and extend a hand of sympathy to the sorrowing relatives. Father Heilshorst of Dedham, delivered the funeral address in the Catholic Church which was packed overflowing. Afterwards kind hands took the body to the Catholic cemetery where amid flowers he was laid to rest to sleep the life of the eternal. Beside him sleeping in the cemetery lie his father, two brothers and a sister. To mourn his death he leaves a mother, four brothers, George of Cedar Rapids, Fred of Omaha, James and Phillip of Manning, and a sister Nellie of Manning. Beside these he leaves a host of warm personal friends who sorrow in his early death.

Those coming from afar to attend the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. F. Signall of Omaha; George Signall of Cedar Rapids; Laurena and Edward Signall of Geddes, South Dakota; Mrs. W.W. Carpenter of Tama; Mr. B. Kelly and daughter Mary, Mr. D. Hart, Mr. and Mrs. P.J. Hamill, Mr. J. Laughlin and Miss Carrie Neu, all of Carroll.
