1911: April-June May 19th: Mr. John Perkins, aged 78, of Bridport, VT , was found dead in his room at the Windsor Hotel, Port Henry, last Sunday morning, under circumstances which led to the belief that he had become tired of living and had quit life by the suicide route. Part of a package of arsenic was found in his pocket, and when coroner Marshall made the autopsy , the balance was discovered in his stomach, and a verdict of suicide was rendered. His son, who was at the funeral said the deed might not have been taken with suicidal intent, as his father was in the habit of taking the drug, but the fact that Mr. Perkins had been around on Saturday morning, making arrangements for disposing of his personal belongings, and also planning for his funeral, indicated that he had something on his mind. He gave his watch to a friend in the morning with instructions to whom it should be delivered . also a fur coat which he said was at the Windsor Hotel. These facts seem to indicate that he intended to take his life. He was buried at Crownpoint, NY on Tuesday morning. 1911: April-June Mr. John Perkins, aged 70, was found dead Monday in
