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.
