1923 - Aug. - Unknown WI Newspaper
Edwin L. Perkins, who has been sick
since last winter, and for some time has been in St. Francis hospital at
La Crosse, died there last Thursday, August 30th, 1923. The body was laid
to rest in the Sugar Creek cemetery beside his father and mother and
sister Jeanette, on Sept. 4th. Edwin Lewis Perkins was born in the town of
Clinton, Vernon Co., WI, March 2nd, 1868, and was at the time of his death
55 years, 5 months and 29 days of age, and has practically all his life
been a resident of this and the near-by communities within the confines of
Vernon county. He was united in marriage to Eva E.
Johnson at Bloomingdale, Wis., on the 26th day of July, 1890, to
which union was born five sons: Lester V. Perkins of Richland
Center, WI, Wesley E. Perkins of Bannington, ILL, Leslie C.
Perkins of Madison, WI, Floyd C. Perkins of Ontario and
Lloyd V. Perkins of Milwaukee, WI, who was home during the period of
his father's illness. They lived for some years following his marriage on
a farm in Star Valley, coming to La Farge about twenty years ago, where he
was employed for a number of years carrying mail on the star routes to
Hillsboro and Richland Center, and later in other lines, leaving here
three or four years ago and moving to Ontario, where they have since
resided. He was taken sick last winter with kidney trouble and went to the
hospital then, but the relief afforded proved to be only temporary and
several weeks ago he went back, but without being enabled to arrest the
course of the malady. Mr. Perkins was a member of the Odd Fellow, Rebekah,
Grand Encampment and Beaver lodges. He was a kind and loving father and
husband and passed away trusting fully in the saving grace of his Lord and
Savior. Besides the wife and five sons, he leaves four sisters, two
brothers and seven grandchildren, and many other relatives and a host of
warm friends to grieve at his departure from their midst.
