We dont know what happened to Charles or Angus.
Eliza Marie (Delisle) Lerette wrote to her sister Mary Melena Celeste (Delisle) Farough on July 3, 1855 on a small square of paper a margin was drawn around the outside, with three little trees drawn in the margin. A little cross was hanging on each tree . In the center was the names ,births and deaths of the three children above and a note " Remember your brothers and sisters" sighned Eliza Marie Lerette.
This little paper has been perserved in the Joseph and Mary Melena Celeste Farough family Bible all through these years from July 3 of 1855 to the time of writing May 10 1972.
This Family Bible was given to Joseph andMary Farough by a gypsy travelling through the County of Essex selling his wares. They used to give him meals and let him sleep in their home. In retourn for this kindness he gave them the big family Bible. After Joseph and mary's death this Bible remained inthe Farough homestead taken care of by his son Lawrence. After his death this family Bible is in the care of Lawrences daughter Marie that married Otto Boos
