Burial will be at Sunset Memorial Gardens in Aberdeen, with military rites following the services in Hosmer. Gideon was born Aug. 24, 1923, to Christian and Christina Hieb Wittmeier Kaul on a farm west of Hosmer in McPherson County. He attended both country and public school in Hosmer. In 1932, the family moved to a farm south of Hosmer. In 1936, after his father’s heart attack, the family moved to Hosmer. Gideon later worked on a farm in the Mellette area before entering the U.S. Army in 1943. He served with the 3184th Army Engineers and earned the rank of staff sergeant. He courageously and proudly served in the South Pacific in both Saipan and Iwo Jima and was honorably discharged in 1946. From 1948 until 1951, Gideon did mechanic work in Hosmer at Walth Chevrolet, Schaible Midwest Motor Company and at Schlaht and Job. In 1970, Gideon bought the business from Schlaht and Job and renamed it Kaul’s Repair. He married Janice Shippee Holdorf in 1972. After retiring from mechanic work in 1983, Gideon worked with South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks for two years. Gideon and his wife, Janice, enjoyed spending time with their extended family. They also traveled to Washington, D.C., Hawaii, Alaska and many other U.S. states. Gideon enjoyed fishing and hunting all his life, and kept all 60 years of his licenses in a framed display. He was a lifetime member of the American Legion. He also enjoyed nature and loved being outdoors, gardening, feeding and watching birds, and taking care of his large yard, where he made a mini-golf course that was enjoyed by all who visited. He especially enjoyed watching the prairie sunsets from his backyard. Family, faith and pride in his military service all meant the world to Gideon. Gideon died Thursday, Dec. 11, 2014, at Golden Living Center in Groton. Gideon is survived by one sister, Frieda (George) Roiger; stepdaughter, Nancy (Larry) Jacobs; stepson-in-law, Doug Christopherson; five step-grandchildren; many step great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews.
