An appropriate religious discourse was preached by the Rev. Wm. Bancroft, in the 1st Congregational Church in this village. Mr. Perkins had not a living relative in this country, but his funeral was attended by a large number who were glad to be called his friends, while he was living, and who will long remember his many virtues. He left some property, which will be cared for, for the benefit of a sister, his only near relative living, who resides in England. _____________________________ 1877: May 30th.- Racine County Argus - Racine, WI. Mrs. Frederick S. Perkins, died at Burlington, Friday May 28th. The Standard in announcing her demise says: Rarely are we called upon to record such a sad and so sudden a death as that of Mrs. Frederick S. Perkins on Friday evening last. Hardly a week passes that we do not have to note the passing away of some one of our acquaintances from among the people of this section. But the circumstances surrounding the death of Mrs. Perkins are peculiar, and calculated with the uncertainty of human life. Surrounded by everything which might make life lovely and desirable, with the seeming promise of many happy years before her, she was suddenly summoned away. Mr. Perkins has been absent in Europe for about fifteen months, engaged in his favorite occupation. He was expected home some time in the month of June. His eldest son, Freddy Perkins, who accompanied him to Europe, returned home a few weeks since to gladden the heart of his dear mother, but that great privilege is denied the father. His heart must bear the shock alone. _______________________ 1894: Nov. 21st. The Racine Journal - Racine, WI.

Deaths in 1898 1899: June 16th. The Racine Journal - Racine, WI. Mr. Frederick S. Perkins
of Burlington, WI, famous archaeologist and collector of antiquities is
dead. He was sixty-seven years old, and had spend most of his time for the
past forty years or more in gathering relics of the Indian and prehistoric
races. His parents settled in Burlington, WI in 1836 when he was only four
years old and there the greater part of his life was spent. The lot where
his fathers pioneer cabin stood, being occupied by him up to the time of
his death. When he grew to manhood he chose the profession of the painter,
and after study in New York, went abroad. It was during a visit to the
Wyoming Valley in Pennsylvania in 1857, that he formed the collection
habit, which grew with every subsequent year of his life. There he
gathered about thirty Indian hatches and other stone implements, and on
his return home continued the search for similar specimens. He found
Wisconsin rich in such relics and gradually extended his operations until
he covered the whole state and was known to almost everybody in the
country districts. School boys would save their store of flint arrow heads
until he came again to buy them and he was always generous in his payment
for them. His particular search was for copper implements. He found that
these were numerous in Wisconsin but very scarce in other states, and he
came to the conclusion that the Badger state was the home of industry. In
1875 he sold several thousand of his stone implements and 143 of his
copper specimens to the state historical society for the nominal sum of
$4,000, but the choicest specimens he would not sell. In 1885 he sold to
the Milwaukee Public Museum 207 copper and a collection of stone
implements for $2,200. In 1880 he paid out over $18,000 in cash and had
gathered 38,000 specimens. In 1889 congress voted to appropriate $7,000
for the purchase of about 400 of his implements. Charles H. Doerflinger of
Milwaukee has been at work for some time on a book to be know as "The
F. S. Perkins Album of Antiquities", the plates to be made
from copper, flint and stone implements in his collection. This work will
be a monument to the enterprise of the eminent Wisconsin collector, and
will be very valuable to the archeologist. 1900: Feb. 9th. The Racine Journal - Racine, WI. STATE OF WISCONSIN - RACINE COUNTY- CIRCUIT COURT Henry J. Miller, plaintiff, against

Perkins of Burlington, WI, has brought suit against various parties in Burlington, which involves land worth $150,000 to $200,000 and perhaps twice that. The title of the land involved in the suit runs from way back in the 1850's, Origin Perkins was an early resident of Burlington. He died in 1853, leaving a widow, Julia A. Perkins and one son, Frederick S. Perkins, an only child. The deceased, Origin Perkins, left his property in the hands of Edward Dyer, in trust, for his widow and son, two-thirds of a large amount of land to the son and to eventually go to the children of his son, should there be issue. The court set aside this trust deed and vested the title to Frederick S. Perkins, the son. He parted the land and sold it in parcels, but subsequent to the decree of the court vesting him with the right, children were born. Frederick S. Perkins, the son of Origin Perkins, died on or about June 17th, 1899. After his death, Henry J. Miller, of Racine, took a mortgage upon the land in question of $2,500. He for-closed and it was while the title of the land was being looked into, that the deed in trust to Dyer was discovered. Now come the children of Frederick S. Perkins, with the suits against the Burlington Land & Improvement Company. The plaintiffs, children of Frederick S. Perkins, allege that they never had any knowledge of their rights in the property and they sue for their rights as set out in the trusted deed. They further allege they are entitled to the possession of the property and that the defendants unlawfully withheld the possession of there of, from the plaintiffs. The land constitutes a portion of a tract of about 240 acres. On this land has been built a large number of houses, malt houses, brick stores & factories. The suit in question have been brought as tests and should the plaintiffs win, it will entitle them to the whole tract of land in question, which with improvements, is valued at between $200,000 and $600,000. Out in Burlington, the suits have created interest. _____________________________ 1901: May 3rd. The Racine Journal - Racine, WI. Judge Frank M. Fish has been handed down a decision in the case of Frederick W. Perkins, et al vs. the Burlington Land Company, which involves $200,000 worth of property in the town of Burlington. The decision is in favor of the defendants. The opinion in full is as follows: The facts in this case being uncontradicted (sp) and it being certain that the law governing the same will be reviewed by the Supreme Court. I shall merely state that the conclusion reached after a careful review of the authorities cited by the counsel in their arguments and briefs, I am of the opinion : "First, that judgment is res. adjudicata (sp), as to the plaintiff in this action." "Second, that the trust created is void under and by virtue of the statute against perpetuities. Judgment should be entered for the defendants.". The case is a most interesting one and the title of land involved is dated back in 1850. _____________________________

1901: Dec. 17th. The Racine Journal - Racine, WI. Supreme Court is Held up Madison, WI: The
supreme court held up the decision in the celebrated
Perkins case from Burlington, in which about $200,000 worth of
property is involved, located in the heart of the city. 1902: Aug. 1st. The Racine Journal - Racine, WI. MURDERER IS LEFT $50,000 Dying Man Did Not Know His Grandson Was in Shadow of Death. New York: Held by the grand jury of
Suffolk Co. on the charge of causing the death of Clarence W. Foster and
"Dimple" Lawrence at Good Ground, L. I., Louis Disbrow, in a cell at
Riverhead jail, is believed to be heir to $50,000 from the estate of his
grandfather, Hosea B. Perkins, who has just
died. He had been sick for more than a year and when the Good Grounds
tragedy and Disbrow's connection with it became known, there was much
speculation as to whether he would make any change in his will, which it
is understood provided a legacy of $50,000 for each of his grandchildren.
Mr. Perkins condition of health was such that
the news of the tragedy probably would have hastened the end, so he never
was informed of his grandson's plight. Mr. Perkins
was 83 years old. 1902: Aug. 2nd. The Racine Journal - Racine, WI. Mr. R. Perkins
of Texas, is spending a few days in Racine. He is a brother of the late
George Perkins and Ben
Perkins, and it is his first visit to the Belle City in forty
years. He notes remarkable changes. 1902: Sept. 2nd. The Racine Journal - Racine, WI. GREAT ARCHEOLOGICAL COLLECTION OF FREDERICK S. PERKINS WILL BE SOLD TOMORROW. There will be offered for sell from the front steps of the court house, one of the greatest archeological collections of stone and copper implements ever collected in the great state of Wisconsin. It is the collection of the late Frederick S. Perkins. The sale will be for the purpose of satisfying certain promissory notes, for the sum of $3,007, with interest at 7 per cent, given by Mr. Perkins to the late M. B. Erskine, and payable to the Erskine estate. It is said it took Mr. Perkins years to make the collection. One of his collections he gave to the Wisconsin Historical Society and another was sold to the Smithsonian institute in Chicago. The collection is no doubt worth $10,000 but of course will not bring that amount at forced sale.
Frederick S. Perkins was one of the oldest residents of Burlington,
having settled here in 1837, arriving in a wagon with his father,
Origin Perkins, who settled a year earlier,
and who built the first private residence. Frederick
S. Perkins was a professional portrait painter, and the walls of
his residence were adorned with some beautiful specimens of his work.
Recently his relatives commenced a suit to gain title to property in
Burlington worth half a million dollars, but a decision was rendered
against them in the courts. 1902: Nov. 28th. The Racine Journal - Racine, WI. Mr. W.T. Perkins, of Kalamazoo, MI, was found dead at the Hotel Racine.

BORN IN SLAVERY Negro near La Crosse will perform his official duties. According to the Bible. LA Crosse, WI: From Slavery under
Col. Dawson, one of the biggest slave owners in Mississippi, to the
distinction of being the first colored justice of the peace in the Western
part of Wisconsin, is a brief history of Judge J. C.
Perkins, elected Tuesday to that office in the town of Shelby, WI ,
a short distance south of La Crosse. Judge J. C.
Perkins was born in slavery in 1840 in Mississippi. He served in
the Civil War and worked in Chicago and Milwaukee before coming to La
Crosse, moving to the town of Shelby seven years ago. When President
Roosevelt visited La Crosse Saturday April 4th, he was the only colored
man to shake his hand, presenting him with a bouquet of American Beauty
Roses on behalf of the colored population of Western Wisconsin. Though
nothing of a Lawyer, the new colored judge says he will perform his
official duties according to the Bible and with justice to all. 1903: June 5th. The Racine Journal - Racine, WI. Mrs. Margaret Bender, one of the oldest
residents of the town of Milwaukee, who lived to see five generations,

HOME SHELTERED NOTED STATESMAN Probably the most historical house in the State of Wisconsin, is the old homestead of the late Judge Doolittle, for twelve years United States Senator during the war period, confidential advisor of President Abraham Lincoln, and at one time promoted candidate for President. The house is likely the oldest structure standing in the city. Situated in the rear of Augustine Furniture on sixth street and with a frontage on Wisconsin street, this historical old homestead, now used for furniture storage purposes, often causes many of the old pioneers to pause when passing the place and think of its interesting history and of the days of long ago. ERECTED SIXTY THREE YEARS AGO The home was built in 1840 on the southeast corner of sixth and Wisconsin streets by George Perkins, a businessman who died at the age of 78, fifteen years ago. It was afterwards moved to it's present site. George Perkins came here with is wife in 1839 from the New England states by boat. They experienced a rough voyage, and were for weeks upon the water. The Perkins occupied the house for about two years and then rented the place to Mrs. Simmons, who kept a boarding house. Later it passed into the hands of Mr. Doolittle. OVER FOUR SCORE YEARS Mrs. Perkins yet lives at the age of 83. She was born in Vermont, and married her husband who was 10 years her senior, in the east. For fifteen years she has lived alone at her residence, 718 Lake Ave., which is a very comfortable, well kept home. She never had any children and states she was the youngest of a family of twelve children, all of whom are dead except her. Her maiden name was Melissa Morris. The old lady spends her time reading and does her own chores. She says she finds the evening the most lonesome part of the day, and often goes out calling to while the hours away. She is a regular attendant of the Universalist Church, and even in the warmest days of summer and coldest days of winter, can be seen wending her way to service. Sometime ago she suffered a severe attack of rheumatism, but is now a great deal better. The homestead which was built in 1839, with black walnut floors, hard wood doors and a huge old fashion fireplace, was the scene of many political conferences. It was in this place where Stephen A. Douglas met Judge Doolittle. Abraham Lincoln also visited the senator under it's roof. It was in this house where he wrote the famous "corner stone" resolutions introduced in the National Democratic convention in 1847, upon which the free soil party was formed in 1848. *Note: More information on Judge Doolittle is in this article, but I did not transcribe it* _________________________________________ 1905: March 15th.- The Racine Weekly Journal - Racine, WI. Freemont, WI: The people of
Freemont, WI were greatly grieved by receiving the notice of the death of
Mrs. Otis Perkins, one of Raymond, WI oldest
settlers and a lady who was highly respected and loved by all who knew
her. She died at the home of her son, Frank Perkins
at Lawrence, Kansas, and until a week before her death, which was
caused by the grip, had been in unusual good health for one who had passed
her 80th year. We can truly cast her with those who are "Gone but not
forgotten". 1906: Nov. 6th.- The Racine Weekly Journal - Racine, WI. Mr. Benson, an old resident of this city,
was found unconscious in bed Saturday morning. Mr. Benson is not any
better and there is a small chance of recovery. He has three daughters
living here, Mrs. William Aldrich, Mrs. Edward
Perkins and Mrs. L. Smithers. 1907: Aug. 6th.- The Racine Weekly Journal - Racine, WI. Mrs. Benjamin West entertained in honor of
their niece, Mrs. Fred Perkins of Kenosha,
WI. 1907: Sept. 6th.- The Racine Weekly Journal - Racine, WI. Remains of Lucius H.
Perkins are Topeka, KS: Judge Smith McPherson, in the federal court, has issued an order providing for the exhumation of the body of the late Lucius H. Perkins of Lawrence, KS, in the suit brought by the Mutual Life Insurance Company, of New York, of which company Mr. Perkins held a policy of $100,000. What makes the case of interest to Racine, WI people, is the fact that Mr. Perkins was a pioneer resident of this city and county, in fact received his education here and at Beloit College. Years ago he removed to Kansas and became a prominent attorney. Less then one year ago while he was on a house, he fell off and was killed. It was found that he carried a large insurance on his life. Some of the companies paid up, and among the heirs was Mrs. Judson of this city, who was bequeathed $5000. Other heirs brought suite against the Mutual of New York to compel them to pay. The insurance desires to have the stomach of the dead man examined for traces of poisoning and holding that Perkins committed suicide. ********************* [Editors Note] Aug. 17th, 1908 article,
same newspaper, states: Mr. Perkins, at the
time of his death, held policies in various companies aggregating
$600,000. Several of these companies already paid the face value of these
policies. 1909: Nov. 2nd. The Racine Journal-News - Racine, WI. Mrs. Perkins of Lake Ave, one of the early
pioneer settlers, is today celebrating her 89th Birthday, and in honor of
the event, will entertain a number of her old friends this evening.
