Death has invaded our little village again.

Jan. 31st, after a long and severe illness of over a year. She passed
quietly away. She was a sincere Christian in every department of life, and
was 76 years old at the time of her death. Mr. and Mrs. Perkins were

alone.
Attention, Comrades.
FRANK PERKINS died Jan. 21st, 1885 at 11 p.m. Funeral at the
residence under the auspices of the Grand Army of the Republic, Sunday,
Jan. 25th, 1885. All comrades are ordered to be in attendance. 1887: Dec. - Owosso Michigan Mr. Waterman Perkins, an Owosso Pioneer died last Friday morning aged 77 years. He was buried from the M.E. Church Sunday afternoon, Rev. C.B. Spencer officiating.
Mr. Waterman Perkins whose death was
announced last week's "press", was born in May 1810 and was at the time of
his death 77 years old. He was raised in Wyoming County, New York, married
there, and came to Owosso, MI in 1847 bringing his family of small
children with him. This country was new at that time, but he bore the
hardships of a pioneer life with cheerfulness and fortitude, raised his
children to men and woman and saw them married and comfortably settled
around him. He buried his wife 28 years ago and has since made his home
with his daughter Mrs. Platt Elwell. Mr. Perkins has lived a quiet
domestic life, honest conscientious and just. He was a member of the
Methodist Episcopal Church to which he was deeply attached and of which he
was a regular attendant. For several years past, his health has been
failing; during the last days of the Anarchists he showed intense
excitement and soon after took to his bed, losing his mind completely,
never afterwards seeming to realize anything. He died on Friday morning
Dec. 9th, 1887, and was buried Sunday afternoon from the M.E. Church Rev.
Mr. Spencer officiating. Mr. Perkins leaves six children: Mrs. John Sidman,
Mrs. John Sullivan, Mrs. Rose Kingsley; Mrs. Platt Elwell and Edwin
Perkins, all of this city, and Mrs. Ellen Snow of Ovid, to mourn his
loss. He was a brother of Mrs. Ira Merell of this city. 1889: Dec. 9th : The Marshall Daily Chronicle, Marshall, MI
Dec,1st:
Mr. Luther
Perkins, died at his home North
of the village Thursday, Dec. 1st, of appendicitis, after a illness of
about 10 days. He was an endowment member of the Maccabee and carried a
policy of $2,000. Funeral services were held at the Methodist Church on
Sat. Dec. 3rd. He leaves a wife and two daughters. Jan. 31st, 1892 - The Sunday Herald -
Grand Rapids, MI His choice was
HARRIET M. PARSONS of Berkshire, New York, to whom he was
wedded March 1st, 1848. By their union there were eight children born
to them - seven sons and one daughter, of whole there are at
the present four sons living. It was a pride and comfort to him to see
them all established in business through his efforts, prior to his
decease. His eldest son, Charles E. Perkins, being associated with
the two younger sons, Harry J. Perkins and Fred L. Perkins,
in conducting a sawmill and lumber business at Aberdeen, Washington, while
Wiilis J. Perkins continues the manufacturing business founded by
his father in 1873 at Grand Rapids, Michigan, which industry bears his
name, Perkins & Co. and in its development his every thought and care have
been centered for the past seventeen years. His pride and ambition was to
add to the number of his employees, that thereby he might become a
benefactor to may; the obligations to delicately placed on those whose
interests were his, received a mournful acknowledgement from them on his
last journey by their marching in a body as an escort. The brief period of his retiring life,
from 1890 to the time of his death, was most pleasantly occupied in
extensive travels; twice visiting the Pacific coast, the last time
accompanied by his family, touring through lower California, the Yosemite
Valley and interesting points along the Pacific slope. In tribute to his
memory, his son whose hand was linked in his for nearly two decades, has
truly said; "Our father was our pride, because his life was worthy of
emulation, because shining through his daily acts there was always
discernible that which has a higher aim than the sole securing of a
transient victory in the daily occupation of life.". His example pointed
out to us, as most fitting with his own, a life of piety, temperance and
purity. There is not a state of territory over which the shadows of the
stars and stripes leap and play, and where the forest shafts point to the
way his soul took its flight heavenward, that his mourning friends may not
be found. The funeral of the late Harford J. Perkins was held at the
family residence, No. 154 Turner Street, January 27th, 1892, at 2:30 p.m.
