Many Romans whose residence here dates back
thirty and forty years, regret to learn of the death of
Dr. David W. Perkins, which occurred in
Milwaukee, WI, on Monday, August 18th, 1884, after a long and painful
illness. Thirty-Five years ago, Dr. Perkins was a leading dentist in Rome,
NY, and was highly esteemed by all our citizens. At that time he and Dr.
J. V. Cobb and the late Samuel B. Stevens, were prominent members of Rome
Lodge of Odd Fellows and many of the fraternity still living here, will
remember the lively times enjoyed when these gentlemen engaged in a
triangular discussion. They were all good men and all have now laid off
their armor and are enjoying a well earned repose. May they rest in peace. 1885: April 3rd - Rome Citizen - Rome, NY. The people of this city were greatly surprised last Saturday to learn of the death of Francis D. Perkins, (*Son of Joseph & Betsey (Cook) Perkins) which occurred that morning at his residence, about three miles south of this city. He had been ill only about a week with what was suppose to be rheumatism, but which proved to be disease of the heart, and as consequence his death was very sudden. Deceased was born on the farm where he died, and had lived there all of his life - 55 years. He was a pleasing conversationalist and at odd times, when his farm work was not driving, he busied himself canvassing for newspapers, periodicals, books, etc.. In this manner he became well known throughout the county, and there are many who will deeply regret his death. Being well informed on subjects of social, agricultural and scientific nature, he was frequently selected to deliver essays before their social gathering, and his remarks were always of a pleasing and instructive nature. A wife and mother , the latter in her 100th year, are left to mourn. Deceased had been a life long member of the Baptist church of this city, and his genial countenance will be greatly missed from the services of the sanctuary. *Added by transcriber.

1886: Feb. 5th - Rome Citizen - Rome, NY.
Betsey
(Cook*) Perkins,
mother of the late F. (Francis) D. Perkins and Mrs. Chester Wheeler, will reach her 100th birthday tomorrow, February
6th, 1886. She is a widow of the late
Joseph
Perkins, who was a surveyor in this part of the country in the
early part of the century. The Messrs. Wheeler still occupy land which was
surveyed by him, at the time their father purchased it in 1828. Mrs.
Perkins came to this county in her girlhood from Stephentown, Rensselaer
Co., NY, where she was born 100 years ago. Not withstanding her great age,
she is still in possession of all her faculties save her hearing, she
being rather deaf. A large number of friends and relatives congratulate
her on having reached such an advanced age in such good health, and home
she may see more pleasant birthdays before entering upon the life where a
thousand years is as one day. 1886: July 9th - Rome Citizen - Rome, NY. Mrs. Betsey (Cook*) Perkins, residing with her daughter, Mrs. C. W. White on Whitesboro street, died suddenly while at the breakfast table on Tuesday morning. She was sitting at the table eating, apparently as well as usual. When the meal was nearly over, her daughter offered to help her to more food, but she replied, "No, I have more than I can eat now." and at once fell back dead. The sudden death was evidently from old age as Mrs. Perkins passed her 100th birthday last February. She has been the mother of ten children, of whom the following survive her: Mrs. Chester Wheeler, Mrs. C. W. White of Rome, NY, Mrs. M. J. Dinwiddie of Crown Point, Lake Co., IN, and William H. Perkins of Ill. *Added by

White and Mrs. Harriet Wheeler or Rome, NY, died at his home in Joliet, Ill, aged 77. He was born in Rome, NY. His death was of an acute form of erysipelas. *Added by
transcriber. 1887: June 24th - Rome Citizen - Rome, NY.
The death of John T. Perkins near Russell,
KS is mentioned in the papers here at Utica, NY. He was a schoolmate of
the writer in the old Low brick school house at Oriskany, NY fifty odd
years ago. He was a natural mechanic and could do anything with tools or
machinery that trained experts could accomplish. Himself and six brothers
and two sisters were all born or near
Oriskany,
NY. A very handsome, bright and harmonious family,
controller and guided by a wise and gentle mother whose equal it would now
be hard to find. Mother and father have been at rest many years. The
children are all living except the object of this note and his elder
brother, who, after practicing dentistry for many years in
Rome and Chicago, died
in the latter city some three years ago. The sons are widely scattered,
but the daughters, Mrs. Mary Niles of
Rome, and Mrs. Harriet Balis of Whites town, have always had
their pleasant homes within a hour's walk of the spot where they were
born.
