Page Perkins, one of the
Estimable Citizens of Webster County
In the death of
Mr. Page E. Perkins
on Sabbath last, Webster county lost one of her most estimable and best
known citizens. Never self-assertive and aggressive but quite (sic) and
shrinking in temperament, he was known in his limited circle as a faithful
friend, a kind neighbor and a hardworking man.
Born at Lunbride, (Tunbridge, Orleans Co., ?)
Vermont, October 23, 1824; he came to Fort Dodge in 1865, and settled on a
farm about five miles west of this city where he lived for some
twenty-five years, or until called to return to the east with his invalid
wife, who died there June 21 (sic), 1891. Some time after her death he
returned to this city and in October, 1893, was married to
Mrs. Martha A. Benson, who cared most
tenderly for him in his declining years and in his final sickness, and who
will have the sympathy of our whole community as she leaves the fresh
grave of her husband to go to Alburquerque (sic), N. M., where her
daughter, Mrs. Purcell, lies very ill with consumption.
Mr. Perkins was for many years a devoted member of the
First M. E. church of this city from which he was dismissed at his own
request some five years since to unite with the First Presbyterian church,
in whose fellowship he died and under whose auspices his funeral services
were held on Monday last. At the request of the deceased the text of Dr.
Greene's remarks was Amos 4:12 "Prepare to Meet Thy God."
