Obituary - In the death of
Ephraim Perkins, his family, relatives and
numerous friends have sustained a great loss. His departed his life in the
village of Burlington, State of Wisconsin, where he had his home twelve
years, on the 6th of February, aged 78 years.
On the 12th of January last, he wrote to a
lady in this town, whose friendship was of forty years standing: (I find)
myself sinking without pain, or any inflammatory action in the system -
pulse very feeble. I have had enough of earth, its cares and
responsibilities, and have no wish to outlive a day of usefulness, and
some reasonable activity.
Then, was one characteristic of our departed
friend, that was truly grateful to such as knew him intimately, but which
transient acquaintances would not be likely to appreciate. I mean that
entire simplicity, and freedom from all art, and the fallacious mannerism
so prevalent in our day. With him, language was not a gift to be used to
conceal ones _____, but is ____ theirs; and ____ down to old age, that
exceeding simplicity was as free____ to the feelings of his friends, as in
his earlier years; indeed it seemed even more lovely, as the shadows of
life lengthened, as he ______ the confines of the grave.

1899: - Feb. - Utica Daily Press, Utica, NY. Albany, NY: Feb 10th:
The state treasurer's department has discovered a most clever specimen of
a photographed check and one with an interesting story. On Jan. 9th,
1891, a check was made out by the state to Gillman
H. Perkins of Rochester, NY, for $64.99, for expenses as a
presidential ______. He kept it until July 14th, 1893, when it was cashed.
What appeared to be this check came to the Commercial Bank in this city
yesterday, and was taken to the states treasurer's office for verification
because of its age. A search was made and the original check was found.
The one presented yesterday was a photograph of the original which Mr.
Perkins had taken to keep as a souvenir. Mr. Perkins died about two months
ago, and in settling up his estate, his executor came across the
photographic souvenir reproduction. With no suspicion that it was anything
but a genuine check, he promptly turned it into case. The money will be
returned and the check will resume its place as a souvenir. 1900: April 6th - The Utica Observer, Utica, NY.

Mrs. Perkins had been knitting when her granddaughter, Luella Ingersoll, aged 10 years, by request of her grandmother, attempted to pull-down the hanging lamp so that she could see her knitting better. The lamp fell to the floor and broke in fragments and the oil ignited, setting fire to Mrs. Perkins clothing. In an instant she was all ablaze.

Skully, Hubbard, Strannhan and Teller were summoned. Mrs. Perkins was made as comfortable as possible, but the doctors said that she could not survive long.

At the time of the accident her daughter was at Williams Bros knitting mill, where she is employed. Mrs. Perkins was born in Tirenny, Ireland, Aug. 2, 1820, and at the age of 24 she came to Canada, where three years later she married Thomas Perkins.
