performances in London, and in some of the festivals of the great
provincial cities. Last year, he became attached to her Majesty's opera,

most promising of opera singers. His "Mephistophles" was especially
praised, and by the most severe critics in England. Mr. Perkins married an
opera singer of brilliant talent, nearly a year ago, and with her visited
this country, last summer, and both of them sung at various places in

Feb. 17th, 1922: Sabetha, Kan., Feb.
15th - Mrs. Bertha Perkins, who will be 98
years old next April, found a real thrill recently when three additional
great-grand children arrived in three Sabetha homes, within a period of 48
hours. They brought the number of her descendants up to 274. 75 -
grandchildren, 155 - great grandchildren, 25 - great-great grand children,
9 - great-great-great grandchildren. Mrs. Perkins was born in Virginia,
April 25th, 1824; married David Perkins in
Ohio, March 16th, 1843. Her maiden name was Bertha Marcum. In 1848 they
emigrated to Iowa, and in 1857 took a homestead in this (Nemaha County)
where she has lived ever since. Mr. Perkins died in 1892. "Good and old
fashioned cooking" is the reason M. S. Perkins ____ her longevity. "It is
no wonder people do no live to old age like they use to, considering the
rich foods they put in their stomachs nowadays. People do not eat enough
course food, corn bread once or twice a day would improve their health.
Here are afew of her ideas as she expressed them: "I believe woman should
aid their husbands in voting right, but do not believe woman should go
into politics or vote". Cooking courses in schools and colleges run to
much fudge and fancy dishes. I believe still, that the best place for a
girl to learn housekeeping and cooking is from her mother - but I am in
doubt whether some of these modern day mothers know much about such
things. "Work is the best tonic. Why, I do something every day. IN the
summertime I take care of my vegetable garden. Last summer I raised so
many vegetables I had them to pass around the neighbors". December 30th, 1921: Canton, Dec. 29th The funeral of Mrs. Charles J. Perkins, who died at 1 o'clock Monday, December 26th, at her home in Judson street, was held at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon at Grace Episcopal church. The Rev.
