Charles E. Raught
With many milestones
unpassed in the road of life and where the setting sun had cast its taller
shadows to the east, he wearied off the trail and fell asleep. It may with
truth be said that when Charles E. Raught passed into the great beyond and
closed his eyes in that long and mysterious sleep from whence no travel ever
returns, all who knew him mourned with deep and sincere grief. Mr. Raught
passed away at his home on Crooks Avenue on Friday following an illness dating
back to November 26, when he was stricken with paralysis. For a while it was
thought that he might recover, but a relapse on New Year's Day prevented
that. He gradually weakened until
pneumonia set in. Mr. Raught was a citizen with deep concern for the community,
always making an effort to do more for the city. He was editor of THE TIMES,
for a period, was elected mayor, was the postmaster and a banker in Kaukauna,
and is said to have done more to advance the material welfare of Kaukauna than
any other single individual. Final rites will be held on Tuesday.
