In the town of Stockton, Thursday morning Sept. 26th, Florence Perkins, oldest daughter of Martin and Sarah Perkins, aged 18 years, 11 months and 21 days. The announcement of the death of Florence Perkins, a highly esteemed and worthy young member of our society, was a sad surprise to this community. The nature of the serious disease with which was was afflicted, and the doubtful encouragement received from the best physician in regards to effecting a cure, had partly prepared her kind relatives and friends for her early decease, yet no one thought the time was near at hand when her pure spirit would sever the frail bond of mortality and take the last great voyage from earth to heaven. A frail and delicate flower, in the spring time of life she passed away - away from the world of disappointment, sorrow and death to that eternal home where all happiness, peace and eternal life. Accomplished, modest, kind, and generous, she was admired, respected and beloved by all. About a year ago, the family removed from this city to Waukesha in hope that Florence might benefit from the mineral waters of that locality, and in this her mother informs us she was not wholly disappointed, for awhile the change did not effect permanent cue, she has no doubt that it had the effect to prolong her daughters life. About two weeks previous to her death, Florence expressed a wish to return to visit relatives and friends, which last wish was granted, and while at the home of her grandparents, a few miles from this city, she was called by God to put on immortality, and in the pure white radiant of death and grave, her relatives and friends bide her their last far well. The funeral services were held at the Episcopal church, at which she had been for years an attendant. The Rev. J. A. Davenport officiating. The mother did not even have the consolation of ministering at the bedside of her dying child, as death so closely followed the last attack, that she could not get to her. She arrived on the following day, however, and after laying Florence the third child that has been taken from her since the death of her husband, in the grave, she returned to her home in Waukesha on Tuesday's train. _________________ 1877: Sept. 29th. - Stevens Point Journal. Mrs. Perkins and family desire to express their heart felt thank you for the sympathy and assistance extended to them by kind friends in this city, and also in Waukesha, during the late visitation of providence, in the sickness and death of their beloved daughter and sister Florence Perkins. ____________________ 1879: Sept. 20th. - Stevens Point Journal. Mr. George C. Perkins, the California governor elect, was born in Kennebunkport, ME, Aug. 23rd, 1839. He has had an opportunity to see much of the world. Not taking naturally to a farmer's life, he having been sent to live with an uncle when eight years of age, he soon ran away and went to sea.

In his eighteenth year Mr. Perkins landed in California and settled in Butte county, near Oroville, where he found employment at farming, mining and clerking in a store that latter ultimately falling into his position.
