Eral November 30, 1921 - May 27, 2013 Adrian W. Eral, age 91, passed away on Monday, May 27, 2013, at the Pocahontas Manor in Pocahontas, Iowa. He was born on November 30, 1921 to William and Elizabeth (Hudek) Eral, on a farm outside of Pocahontas, Iowa. He grew up with his two brothers helping his parents on the farm. He graduated from Pocahontas High School in 1939 and upon graduation started farming with his father. He was drafted into the U.S. Army in October of 1942 and served with the 96th Infantry Division, participating in the invasions of Leyte Gulf and Okinawa, two of the toughest battles fought in the Pacific Campaign during WWII. He was on a ship headed for the island of Mindoro to prepare for the invasion of the mainland of Japan when the war ended. Upon returning home, he resumed farming with his father and two brothers. On October 5, 1950 he married Arleene Peterson. Adrian and Arleene had three children, Marlys, Kathryn and William. They continued to farm until 1958 when health reasons forced Adrian to leave farming. From there he pursued a career in linotype operations and attended linotype school in Charles City, Iowa. In 1959, upon completion of the course, he took a job as a linotype operator at the Sibley Gazette-Tribune in Sibley, Iowa. The family bought a house in Ashton, Iowa (6 miles away) and lived there until 1969, at which time they moved to Spirit Lake, Iowa, and eventually to Emmetsburg, Iowa where Adrian worked at the local newspaper. Eventually he would return to Sibley and become the Managing Editor of the Gazette-Tribune. In 1977 he left the newspaper business behind and moved to Madison, Wisconsin to be close to his three children and grandchildren. While living in Madison he managed a large apartment complex. He retired in 1982 and bought a house on Lake Sarah in Minnesota where he enjoyed many years of life. In 1992 he sold his lake home and moved to Mallard, Iowa, where he lived until 2012 when he moved into the Pocahontas Manor. Adrian was known for his quick sense of humor and his mechanical ability. He was interested in mechanics from an early age and loved to repair small engines. He spent most of his free time in his garage tinkering with any machine he could find that was in need of repair. In addition to mechanics, he had a life long love of music and played the baritone in his high school band. He was proud of his service during WWII and had been a member of the American Legion for 66 years. He was a loving father, a devoted grandparent, and a great friend. He was always willing to help anyone in need and will be deeply missed by all who knew him. Adrian was preceded in death by his parents, William and Elizabeth Eral, his former wife, Arleene Eral, and his brother, Wayne Eral. He is survived by his children, Marlys (Patrick) Semple, Kathryn Eral and William (Kelly) Eral, all live in Madison, Wisconsin, grandchildren, Jamie (Danny) Beyler, Nathan Semple, Jeff (Carla) Eral and Jackie Eral, and great-grandchildren, James and Abby Beyler and Henry Eral. He is also survived by his brother, Kenneth (Elaine) Eral and sister-in-law, Anna Eral.
