1806: June 25th - The United States Gazette Dr. Elijah Perkins, Died: On Saturday evening last, the 21st inst. Dr. Elijah Perkins, of this city, (Philadelphia) much esteemed when living and much lamented in his death. His departure was extremely sudden and affecting: he had in the course of the day visited his patients as usual, and seen, and conversed agreeably with many of his friends; and towards the close of the evening, accompanied by Mrs. Perkins, he called on a brother physician, at whose house he remained till a few minutes after ten o'clock. Returning my the way of Third street, to his residence in Spruce street, he was seized with a fit of coughing, attended with laborious respiration: he desired to sit down, which he did on a settee, placed at the front door of one of the inhabitants, and requested those who were collecting around him, not to press too closely upon him, as he wished for air, and expressed a desire to be bled, which was immediately done by a person living within a few doors of the spot. By this time, however, he had reclined his head backward, and breathed his last. Several physicians were with him in a short time, and suitable means were tried, but only served to prove, that medical skill was insufficient to produce a resuscitation. He was conveyed to his own habitation, and the following evening, was interred in the New independent Tabernacle, amidst a large concourse of sorrowing friends, and serious spectators. The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. Dr. Rogers, who gave out an appropriate hymn, and engaged in prayer, after which, a funeral oration was delivered by the Rev. John Hey, minister of the place, who concluded with prayer and the usual benedictions.
It is remarkable, though the Doctor had no
previous indisposition which indicated to his friends the near approach of
his dissolution; yet it appears from several circumstances, that he had a
strong presentiment of his speedy departure. Walking with his beloved
partner, but now afflicted widow, in the fore part of the evening on which
he died, and passing by a shop in which they perceived a coffin, he said
"Our friend is preparing a coffin for some person, and perhaps the next he
makes, may be fore me", which strikingly proved to be the case. Reader,
perhaps "the grave" may be just "ready for thee". John xvii. 1818: March 16th - Columbian - New York, NY

1841: Sept. 2nd - The Emancipator, (New York, NY). Mr. Eliab Perkins living in the southwest part of town died quite suddenly at the Lincklean house early Tuesday morning. Mr. Perkins had been working for W.F. Lucas north of the village Monday, and had seemed to be in his usual health. He ate a hearty dinner but on attempting to go to work soon afterward was observed to appear as if suffering from a shock or some trouble of that nature. Mr. Lucas brought him to the village where they went to the Lincklean House to get a little brandy which Mr. Perkins drank and which seemed to relieve him temporarily. He soon relapsed into a comatose condition and remained so until late in the afternoon when he was put to bed, Dr. White summoned, and his family sent for. The doctor found him apparently suffering from the effects of an opiate and as he was somewhat addicted to the use of sedatives it was thought that he had taken more than he should. He was not in any danger apparently, so the doctor left him in care of his wife for the night. Soon after midnight he became worse and the doctor was sent for again. He did everything possible to pull him through, but without avail and death ensued about two o'clock. Coroner Beebe was sent for. He made a careful inquiry into the case, and decided that death was due to a chronic weakness of the heart, possibly aggravated by the opiate. No inquest was held.

sixty-eight years. He was born at Brattleboro, VT, Dec. 6th, 1811,
received an academic education at Yates County Academy, N.Y. , and
proceeded to Richmond, Ind., on foot, in the year 1836. There he settled
and studied law, and was married in 1838 to a daughter of Mr. Joseph Pyle.
He was a lifelong democrat, and when in 1844 he was appointed to the
Supreme bench by Governor Whitcomb a Whig Senate refused to confirm the
nomination. After the adjournment of the Legislature, however, the
Governor reappointed him, and two years later he was regularly confirmed.
At this time he was but thirty-four years of age and had been a resident
of the State less than nine years. He served with the great acceptance,
and in 1852, after the adoption of the new constitution, was elected to
the same position, and re-elected in 1858, thus holding the office
continuously for nineteen years. He was again elected by his party in
1876. In 1858 he prepared an "Indiana Digest," and in the following year
published a work known as the "Indiana Practice". Both books received the
commendations of the entire Indiana Bar. In addition to these labors he
filled the chair of law in the Northwestern Christian University. In 1843
he was appointed Prosecuting Attorney of the Richmond circuit, and in 1844
was one of the electors who gave the vote of the State to Mr. Polk. He had

Cleveland, Ohio, April 23rd - A special to the "Leader" from Painesville, Ohio, says: - A ripple of excitement has been occasioned by the arrest of John B. Perkins, a resident of this place, on a charge of bigamy. The accused came to this town about two years ago and after that time was here at intervals until Feb. last, when he was married to Catherine M. Wells, a well and favorably known in this community. Early Saturday morning, Mrs. Perkins No. 2, residing in Buffalo, NY arrived here and caused the arrest of Mr. Perkins, producing documents to show that John B. Perkins and Mary E. Morris were married at Erie, PA, September 6th, 1879. It transpires that proceeding for divorce were commenced by wife No. 1 some time ago, and that notice of the same had been served on Perkins a short time previous to his marriage to Mrs. Wells. He claims to have believed the decree to have been granted when he remarried. Wife No. 1 admits having kept company with a young man since her separation from her husband, and says she is now engaged to be married, but that she had heard and believed a report to the effect that Perkins was dead before such engagement was made. Perkins accuses wife No. 1 of infidelity, and she retaliates with the same charge. Mr. Perkins is apparently about 60 years of age and is the father of two sons and two daughters by a former wife, all of whom are said to be well-to-do and respectable people. A son in law is a prominent business man at Erie, PA. Mrs. Perkins No. 1 is probably on the shady side of 40, has a dancing pair of black eyes and is rather prepossessing. She is at present engaged in the business of dressmaking in Buffalo, NY. Mrs. Perkins (she that was Mrs. Wells) has apparently reached three score and has resided here some time. She has the sympathy of the entire community. Perkins waived examination and gave bail in $500 for appearance at the Common Pleas Court.

Lyman P. Perkins,
one of Buffalo's widely known lawyers, died last evening at the
Homeopathic hospital, a victim to Bright's disease. Mr. Perkins has been
ill for more than a years, but only during the past three months has his
condition been considered serious. Four weeks ago his symptoms became so
dangerous that it was considered advisable to take him to the hospital.
The deceased was born Dec. 26, 1818, at Ira, Cayuga County, NY. When but a
child his parents moved to Michigan, then but a wilderness, settling near
Hudson, MI, where he helped to clear up two or three farms. He attended
school in Hudson, but to a larger extent was self educated man, never
having had the benefits of a college education, as the Michigan schools in
those days were of the most primary kind. He however, overcame these
obstacles, and in due time was admitted to the bar, and practiced in
Adrian, Michigan, where he married Miss Mary L. Sabin. In 1855 Mr.
Perkins came to Buffalo where he has since lived. Mrs. Perkins died six
years ago. He leaves three daughters and one son. Mrs. E. L. Terry, Miss
Mary L. Perkins and Earl Perkins of this
city, and Mrs. C. S. Blackman of Minneapolis, MN.
