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".
