1849: Dec. 17th - The Brooklyn Daily Eagle - Brooklyn, NY Cincinnati, Saturday, Dec. 15th - Rev. James H. Perkins, Pastor of the Unitarian church in that city, committed suicide by jumping from the ferry boat into the river, while crossing. He left his hat, cloak and memorandum book on board. It was the impression that he was laboring under temporary insanity. He was much esteemed by all who knew him, and leaves an interesting family to mourn his untimely end. This is indeed a most distressing event. Mr. Perkins, originally from Massachusetts, had ministered many years in Cincinnati, where he was widely esteemed and tenderly loved. He leaves a widow and three or four young children. He has for some time been laboring under a disease which prevented his preaching, and which undoubtedly resulted in aberration of mind. _________________________________ 1873: April 12th - The Brooklyn Daily Eagle - Brooklyn, NY.
The remains of Mrs. Perkins, who died at
Bellows Falls on Saturday, April 5th, were placed in a tomb at 4 p.m. on
Monday, the 7th. She died in a fit, and up to the funeral her body was not
yet cold. On Tuesday, the day after the funeral, the lady's brother was
apprehensive that his sister had been buried alive. He caused her coffin
to be removed from the tomb, taken back to the house and there opened. The
position of the remains was unchanged in every respect. No feature was
disturbed, but the body was still warm. A physician was called in and he
made a through examination, but reported that life was certainly extinct.
He, however, suggested that the body be kept until positive proofs of
decomposition were observed. The remains were then cared for until
Wednesday forenoon, when the change in the body was rapid, and it was re
consigned to the tomb. 1875: Sept. 22nd - The Brooklyn Daily Eagle - Brooklyn, NY.

EMMA DURYEA, of Babylon, will be solomnized. 1886: Aug. 7th - The Brooklyn Daily Eagle - Brooklyn, NY James Perkins, a stoutly built man, at least six feet in height, who hails from Chicago, but who is at present living at 57 St. Felix street, was before Judge Walsh today on a charge of assault preferred against him by John Donohue, of 356 Navy street. Mr. Donohue is a clerk in the employ of the Mutual Reserve Fund, but on Sunday, July 18th, was helping the Excise Leaguers to detect saloon keepers who were disposed to keep their places open. He was standing outside Dominick's Burns saloon, at the corner of Navy and Fulton streets, when he saw Perkins come out. As the latter alleged, Donohue asked him if the place was open. Perkins told him it was none of his business, and some hot words followed. Finally Perkins slapped his face. The defendant was found guilty and had to pay a fine of $10. __________________________________ 1886: Nov. 5th - The Brooklyn Daily Eagle - Brooklyn, NY
On the evening of October 6th, last, Miss Tillie Perkins, a very pretty girl who
lives with her parents at 56 St. Felix street, took a stroll on Fulton
street accompanied by her mother and her big brother,
James Perkins. When near St. James place the
young men saw a well dressed youth standing on the opposite side of the
street, puffing vigorously at a cigar. "Walk ahead, slowly," said Perkins
to his mother and sister, "I want to get a light". He crossed the street
and accosted the young man already mentioned and who afterward proved to
be Martin Buggy, of 40 Park ave. "Will you oblige me with a light ?" said
Perkins. "Certainly," said Buggy, as he handed over his cigar. At this
time Buggy caught sight of the two ladies on the opposite side of the
street and seeing that they were alone, raised his hat, bowed and coughed
loudly. Perkins' attention was naturally called and, turning, he saw who
the young man was bowing to. He handed Buggy his cigar and then promptly
knocked him down. James was arrested and tried before Justice Kenna this
morning. When his honor heard the evidence, he discharged the accused. 1887: June 28th -The Brooklyn Daily Eagle - Brooklyn, NY. In Surrogate's Court

Peter Perkins,
his wife and children, among them a son aged 15 years, live in a neat two
story cottage on Hale ave. near the Jamaica Plank Road, in the
Twenty-sixth ward. On the turnpike, near Cypress ave., and directly
opposite the Cypress Hills Cemetery, is a saloon kept by one Frederick
Brauholtz. Joe Perkins, the son, has been a
frequent visitor at Branholtz's, and being a liberal minded young man he
was feign to "set em up" for all the boys at the saloon keeper's expense.
One evening last week, Joe's father ascertained that the boy had lost his
watch which had long been a relic of the family. Questioning revealed the
fact that the timepiece was in the possession of the saloon keeper, who,
whom requested to turn over the property, claimed that he had bought the
watch from Joe Perkins, and that the latter still owed him $30. The elder
Perkins thereupon procured a warrant for the arrest of Branholz on a
charge of selling intoxicants to a minor. Court officer Shaughnessy
arrested the saloon last evening. 1888: Jan. 31st - The Brooklyn Daily Eagle - Brooklyn, NY

Beecher, when Miss Frances Johnson, and Mr. Perkins were betrothed

went to the war, but after peace was restored he opened a young ladies
seminary. Five years ago, at a target shooting match, he shot himself

obliged to come to Washington on business, and early in the week he came
to Stamford, Conn. No one knows just how it happened, but at 6 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, the old sweethearts were united in marriage by the
Rev. Samuel Scoville, son-in-law of Henry Ward Beecher. 1895: July 19th - The Brooklyn Daily Eagle - Brooklyn, NY
In the recent death of
Joseph T. Perkins, Brooklyn, lost a man true, kind, generous and
just. His wisdom went hand in hand with devotion to duty. He was beloved
alike by rich and poor. His character represented a striking ideal of
enlightened citizenship. Mr. Perkins was born at Castine, Me, fifty-five
years ago. In early boyhood he came to Brooklyn and he received his
education here. In later years he began the manufacture of woolen products
and twenty years ago founded the large business which he left at his
death. His keen intelligence added new and original methods of production.
In his craft he was a creator. Combining the highest standards of
commercial integrity with ceaseless industry, he rapidly advanced to a
position among the leaders in his line. His fine instincts manifested
themselves in every sphere of his activities. Success to him, however, was
not an end but rather a means thereby he could dispense comfort and
happiness to all who helped him build, as well as to the great army of
unfortunates who were ignorant of the dispensing hand. In these days of
strife and discord in the ranks of labor, where master and man stand,
grievances in hand, this man stood among his many hundred workman,
their most trusted friend, honored and beloved by all. No small measure of
his success in life is due to the thoughtfulness and generosity with which
he treated all with whom he came in contact as his brothers. He loved
right and abhorred wrong and detested sham. He was loyal to his friends,
enemies he had none. Among men Mr. Perkins stood for every day, old
fashioned, warm hearted good fellowship. Of himself, he never thought.
While tireless in his toll he yet found healthy recreation in his love for
nature. He owned the yacht Columbia, one of the finest schooners on the
Atlantic coast, and once a winner of the America cup. She was his pride.
It was on her that he died. He early identified himself with the movement
for the regeneration of municipal politics in Brooklyn, and accepted
office as a civil service commissioner at the hands of Mayor Schieren. He
brought to bear in this new field the same vigor, enthusiasm and
intelligence that characterized his efforts in all things. There are too
few men like Mr. Perkins. His place will be filled, but he will be missed. 1895: Sept 6th - The Brooklyn Daily Eagle - Brooklyn, NY MARRIED: On Thursday, September 5th, 1895, by the Rev. J. G.

Suddenly, at Schenectady, the other day, died
Maurice Perkins, Nott professor of analytical
chemistry in Union University. He was not an old man, having been born in
New London, Conn., March 14th, 1836, nor was he an ill one, so far as
those could see who thought they knew him well. He seemed to have
departed without antecedent sign or warning, and surely he needed none,
for his career of helpfulness, serenity, kindness and humor in this life
made him a readiness and a record for the life beyond. etc... 1901: Aug. 23rd - The Brooklyn Daily Eagle - Brooklyn, NY The Late Professor MAURICE PERKINS, M.D. of Schenectady. (By Willis G. Tucker, M.D. - From Albany Medical Annals, August, 1901) As a teacher, Dr. MAURICE PERKINS was eminently successful. By winning the affection and securing the regard and confidence of his pupils he easily enlisted their attention, and, being stimulated by his enthusiasm and encouraged by his kindly interest, they made rapid progress under his guidance. Among them he was universally popular. His students confided in him, trusted and respected him. His laboratory was a place in which they loved to gather, to discuss with him their work, ask his counsel, and unfold to him their plans, and here they were ever sure of kindly reception and disinterested advice. His personality was so winning and his manner so easy and confidential that the most diffident student was quickly at ease in his presence, and his genial nature, ready wit and quick repartee made all his conversation enlivening and his pleasantries irresistible. His keen sense of humor prevented his taking too serious a view of the daily incidents of life and largely accounted for the refreshing influence which he exerted so universally upon all with whom he came into even casual contact. He looked for the best in everybody and was quick to commend good deeds and noble actions, and while he was not slow to recognize foibles and inconsistencies, if he exposed them it was with playful ridicule and never with malice or vehement denunciation. Such geniality and bonhomie as he possessed is attractive to all, but especially to the young, themselves enthusiastic and light hearted, and so it was not strange that his classes as they went out from his tutelage carried with them a deep feeling of affectionate regard and sincere attachment. Dr. Perkins had traveled extensively and had stored up a rich fund of experiences gained during his journeys and foreign residence. He had studied in Germany and France; traveled in the far East; sailed the Pacific, the Indian Ocean and China Sea, and had passed through many thrilling experiences and some hairbreadth escapes, which he occasionally related for the entertainment of his friends. He was a good traveler, spoke several languages, was at home anywhere, and being naturally of an observing disposition, he profited much by what he saw. He cared little for externals, nothing for display and attached no importance to fast ships or fine surroundings if so be he got to his destination and attended to the matters at hand. And his temper of mind marked all his acts. He liked the elegancies of life and its luxuries and conveniences well enough, but these things were not in any sense essential to his comfort or happiness. He was easily satisfied, and seldom unsatisfied or dissatisfied with his surroundings and fortunes. He thought too highly of himself to envy anybody else or covet their possessions. He made his lot in life, and while he liked people, and enjoyed society, he was by no means dependant upon it for his pleasures, but found them everywhere at hand, because he took delight in little things, looked cheerfully upon life and had a kindly feeling toward all mankind. Dr. Perkins married a daughter of the late Dr. Potts, a distinguished clergyman, and his family consisted of two daughters and a son, all of whom survive him. His daughter Alice Perkins resides in New York City, and Rose Perkins married Dr. Edward Everett Hale, Jr., professor in Union College, and to their son has been given his grandfathers name. His son, Dr. Roger Griswold Perkins, is located in Cleveland. His residence in Schenectady fronted on the beautiful college campus and formed a part of one of the old college buildings. It was old-fashioned, but quaint and very comfortable, and he loved it. Here was his study, and here were his books and amid these pleasant and quiet surroundings, with his family and intimate friends, his happiest hours were passed. etc.. _________________________________ 1902: Jan. 30th - The Brooklyn Daily Eagle - Brookfield, NY J.

I. - Jan. 30th -
J. (Jacob) Henry Perkins, a native and lifelong
resident of Riverhead, died suddenly at his home here at 8:45 last night.
He was as well as usual and about the village, attending to business, all
day yesterday. Early in the evening out feeling well, he called up Dr. G.
A. Macdonald of Manhattan, his nephew and asked him when he would be in
Riverhead. Mrs. Macdonald was in town and in the Perkins home at the time,
and Dr. Macdonald responded, saying he would come to Riverhead tomorrow.
Almost immediately Mr. Perkins was attacked with heart disease and Dr. H.
H. Young, who lives nearly opposite, was sent for. He hurriedly responded,
but Mr. Perkins died shortly after he arrived. Mr. Perkins was born at
Upper Mills, one mile west of Riverhead village, on April 8th, 1829.
His father was John Perkins, then a famous
man of the county, and who introduced the woolen industry and mills into
this state. Mr. Perkins, on his mothers side, came from Dutch stock, and
his mother was Marion Velsor of Cold Spring, a daughter of Captain John
Velsor. On his father's side, Mr. Perkins was English. His father was born
near Bath, England, and came to this county when 28 years of age, living
for a time at Fishkill, N. Y., but shortly after removing to Riverhead,
where he established in 1828, the upper woolen mills. Mr. Perkins was
educated in the village school and started his mercantile career as a
clerk in the store of his brother on Main street. In 18_ _ he was taken in
as a partner and since that time has been a prominent business man of the
place and the head of the firm of J. R. and J. H. Perkins & Co., and there
is hardly a financial enterprise of this village or town in which he was
not interested. Among them are the electric and water companies, the land
companies and the Amityville asylum, the Westport Sanitarium, at Westport,
Conn. and the Mecox Land Improvement Company. In Riverhead he was
interested in the electric light companies, the water company, the hall
association, the _____ association, the churches, the schools, the banks
and the insurance companies. He was a director of the Suffolk County
National Bank, the Suffolk County Ice Company, the Tower Mills and of the
Mutual Benefit Association, a trustee in the Riverhead Savings Bank, and
an officer in the other corporations named. In politics, Mr. Perkins was a
Republican and for several years was collector. Then he was elected
sheriff and for twelve successive years he was county treasurer, retiring
from office Jan. 1st, 1894. He was an enthusiastic member of Riverhead
