Essex County Herald - Island Pond, VT - April 10th, 1891
Hon. FREDERICK C.
PERKINS, died at Farmington, ME, aged nearly 63. He was known
throughout the financial and business circles of New England. He owned
real estate in about all the cities in Maine, was a director of the Sandy
River and first National banks, a trustee of the Franklin County Savings
bank for years, a member of the legislature in 1871 and in 1872, of
Governor Dingley's council in 1873 and 1874; also a selectman about 12
years. He was prominently connected with the Baptist Church, Farmington,
ME. Essex County Herald - Island Pond, VT - Oct. 28th, 1898
Hon. W. B. PERKINS,
died at his home Wednesday morning, October 19th, after a lingering
illness of about three years. Mr. Perkins was born in Topsham, ME, a
little more than 67 years ago and came to Bloomfield in 1864 as bookkeeper
for the Perkins & Jackson Lumber Co. In politics he was an ardent
republican, and though never aspiring to public office he was continually
kept in office by his townsmen. He served the town 25 years as town clerk
also as treasurer and selectman most of the time. He was elected State
Senator in 1882 and town representative in 1892. Mr. Perkins was a man of
strict integrity and a conscientious Christian. He joined the Baptist
Church in his early manhood, feeling that his young days were none too
good to devote to his Master's work. When he came to Bloomfield he joined
the M. E. Church by letter. He loved home and family, and was a great
student of ancient and modern history. Our loss is his gain. Taken as he
was he prepared, as he had been for many years teaching us that a
Christian life prepares us for the life that now is and for that which is
to come.
