THOMAS HANDASYD
PERKINS, died at his residence in Boston, on Thursday morning
last, at the advanced age of 89 years. During the hole of his long and
active career he was regarded as one of the first, most respected and
influential merchants of his native city. He had accumulated an ample
fortune, and his later years were occupied in munificent acts of charity,
and in devising liberal things. Some years since he gave his private
residence for the establishment of an institution since well known as the
Perkins' institute for the Blind. For some time previous to his decease he
was the only person living in Boston who remembered the "Boston Massacre,"
which took place March 5th, 1770, in King Street, now State Street, near
the residence of his father. The Brattleboro Eagle - Brattleboro, Windham Co., VT - October 27th, 1854 DEATH OF A PROMINENT MAN
We regret to learn, though it was not
unanticipated, that Hon. JARED PERKINS,
died at Nashua the latter part of last week. He was born in Unity about
the year 1794, and entered the ministry of the Methodist Episcopal Church
at the age of twenty-one, and with the exception of a few of the last
years has been a traveling preacher. He was a member of the Governor's
Council in 1846 and '47, and occupied a seat during the whole of the
thirty second Congress, being elected from the old third district by a
union of the Whigs and freesoilers, to succeed Hon. Geo. W. Morrison, who
had beat him on the unexpired term of Gen. Wilson. Since his retirement
from Congress, he has re-entered the ministry, and was Presiding Elder
until he located at Nashua last Spring. The eldest son of Mr. Perkins died
at Winchester, very suddenly, only a week previous to his decease.
