and son. Perkins is a farmer, living about two miles form the village, and
is said to be wealthy. Two weeks ago his wife died. Perkins kept the body
in the house six or seven days when his son John Perkins also died.
Perkins made two pine boxes, laid the bodies out himself, and then buried
them in his yard. There was no funeral. The graves were marked by
fence-rails at the heads. Perkins is thought by some of his neighbors to
be crazy. He is said to own a large tract of land in Iowa, while locked up
in his parlor are costly statuettes of bronze and Parian marble, rare
articles of vertu, bric-a-brac, &e. In his stables are valuable blooded
horses, which he never users, and 20 head of Alderney cattle. A number of

just reached this city, that Joseph Perkins,
the millionaire philanthropist, famous throughout the state for his wife
charities, died to-night at Saratoga, NY. Mr.
Perkins was President of the National Bank of Commerce. It has had
in its history three heavy losses from peculating officials, and those
occurrences, while not impairing the credit of the bank, worried the good
man greatly. He was sensitive and strict in his morals, and when his son
formed an unfortunate association with a depraved woman, he was so
prostrated that he went to Europe for relaxation. He returned Aug. 15. On
the return voyage the steamer lurched in a heavy sea, and
Mr. Perkins was thrown down and knocked senseless. He never
recovered from the shock, and the trip to Saratoga was taken in the hope
that he might be benefited; but he sank rapidly. He was born in Warren,
Ohio, where his father, Gen. Simon Perkins,
was one of the most prominent and popular residents.
Joseph Perkins removed to Cleveland, OH, and 32 years ago was made
President of what is now the National Bank of Commerce. He was reputed to
be worth over $3,000,000, and he has given away in public charities more
then $1,000,000. He built the magnificent Protestant Orphan Asylum on St.
Clair-street, and was one of the patrons of the Industrial Home and
numerous other institutions in the State and county. He was a member of
the State Board of Charities. 1885: Dec. 2nd - New-York Times - New York, NY.

was elected to Congress in 1853, was a member of the secession convention
and called that body to order on Jan. 23rd, 1861. He was subsequently a
member of the Confederate Congress. He proved his devotion to the cause of
the Confederacy when the Federals occupied Louisiana in 1862 by burning
