John B. Perkins
John B. Perkins, an old resident of this city died in Chicago Monday night of stomach trouble. Mr. and Mrs. Perkins left a few days before Christmas for Chicago where Mr. Perkins received treatment and at first seemed to be improving. The deceased was born in Allegheny county, New York state in the year 1845 and was therefore little more than sixty-three years of age. For the past fifty-six years he has been a resident of this city. Mr. Perkins was a soldier of the Civil war and was a member of Co. B, 38th regiment.
On Sept. 18, 1867, Mr. Perkins was married to Mary Townsend and seven children were born to them, Evan, Will, Sidney, Frank, Blanche, Ray and Arthur, all of whom now live in Chicago. Besides his sorrowing widow and children he leaves one brother, Wm. Perkins and sister, Mrs. Stinson of this city. The remains were brought to this city Wednesday for burial which took place this forenoon under the auspices of the I.O.O.F. order, of which Mr. Perkins was a member, Rev. Millar officiating.
The bereaved family has the sympathy of all friends.
