New London, CT: Sept. 26th - The New
London County Historical Society has acquired the famous Shaw Manor
situated on Bank street in the old Connecticut town that is so famous for
its association with the stirring events of the Revolution. During that
period the Shaw Manor was the naval office of the Continental Congress,
and its owner, Nathaniel Shaw Jr, the confidential friend and trusted ally
of Gov. Trumbull and George Washington, who was several times his guest.
The Manor has been sold and deeds given, and on July 1st, it passed into
the possession of the society. Jane Richard Perkins,
who sold it, is the last of the old Shaw stock with the exception of a
niece. Her brother, Shaw Perkins, died a
short time ago, and she was weary of living alone and keeping up the manor
as it should be. The price paid for the mansion was $33,000. To the credit
of the people of New London, the sum was raised by public and private
subscriptions in less than two months and a half. The Historical Society
is now making a few changes, preparatory to taking possession. Hitherto
the organization has been cramped in a few rooms, and has had no place in
which to store its collection of old manuscripts, swords, pictures, and
other historical possessions. 1907: Nov. 7th - Binghamton Press, Binghamton, NY.

died Wednesday afternoon in Dr. Peckham's private hospital, in Stamford.
Mr. Perkins is the first village President to die in office since the
village was incorporated, in 1868. Death was caused by Bright's disease.
Mr. Perkins was the democratic candidate for Supervisor in the recent
election, and it is believed the hard work and excitement of the campaign
under minded his not too robust health, and a few days after the election
he collapsed. At noon Wednesday he had an attack of heart failure and died
within a few minutes. Mr. Perkins was born in Litchfield, CT, in 1852,
coming to Port Chester in 1890. When the Hotchkiss Beef Company, wholesale
dealers, was organized, he became manager and held that position at the
time of his death. He was also one of the best known horse dealers in this
section. In April, 1908, he was induced to run on the democratic ticket
for Village president and surprised the politicians by defeating Addison
Johnson, formerly Warden of Sing Sing Prison, being the first democrat to
be elected to a village office in fourteen years. During his short term of
office he demonstrated that he was an excellent executive. His chief work
was in causing the village books to be straightened out, which was done in
the face of a great deal of opposition. People of the village regardless
of party hold him to greatest esteem. He was a member of Mamaro Lodge, F
and A. M. and the Port Chester board of trade. He also served an
enlistment in the Connecticut National Guard. He was twice married. He is
survived by a wife and two daughters, Miss Claribel Perkins and Mrs. Elsie

Wednesday morning, Oct. 8th. His death occurred in Dundee , Yates Co., NY,
at the home of Mrs. Miller, a sister of his first wife who was
Jane
Simonson of Steuben county and to whom he was married about 1860. To them
was born one son, Walter Perkins, and he was
taken in infancy by his grandparents in Steuben County, after his mother's
death, and reared by them. He died in 1904 or 1905 and left a widow and
two daughters, all of whom are living. Miles Perkins was the son of
John H. Perkins who died at the age of 100
years. About 1875 Miles Perkins was married again to Mrs.
Lucy Phillips
who died some years since. The most of the eighty-three years of Mr.
Perkins life was spent in the town of Leicester, his father having located
there in an early day. Miles Perkins was born in the town of Geneseo, near
the Genesee river, just east of the Caylerville bridge, on the north side
of the roadway. The Perkins farm, where Miles was born, skirts the Genesee
river on the opposite side from where Miles was reared. No man knew "The
Valley" better than he. Every bend in the river was familiar to him, for
in his younger days he hunted much along the river and shot otter, mink
and muskrat; also quail, woodcock and snipe. He was an expert hunter and
marksman, and for years loved the sport. Miles Perkins was the last of six
sons who grew to manhood. His brother, Warren Perkins, died in Andersonville prison. There are three sisters living, Mrs. Cole of

Alice Perkins
who makes her home with Mrs. Woodruff. "It is appointed unto men" - unto
all men - "once to die". Miles lived to a ripe old age, having passed the
"three score and ten" limit by thirteen years. Mr. Perkins was a kind
hearted man, a good neighbor and valued friend, and will be missed by
many. There was no place to him like his childhood home and during the
last few years of his life, he made frequent visits to the scenes and
happenings of other days. For some months he had been gradually failing
and while on a visit to Dundee he became worse, and for six days his heart
grew weaker day by day till the end came and he closed his eyes in death.

Ward, the pastor of the Presbyterian church of Lakeville, assisted by Rev.
C. F. Clutter of the U. P. church of Coylerville. The burial was at Mr.
