"Visiting Among Old Friends.
Mr. Socrates Huff, who went to California in 1849, and made that State his residence, is now, with his wife [Amelia Cassaday], on a visiting tour to the East, has made a short call on friends in this place, and will visit here again before he returns to his California home. Some of the friends and acquaintances of Mr. Huff, who knew him in his younger manhood, now live in other places, and some have left this early home altogether, but those who still remain will esteem it a pleasure to give Mr. Huff a cordial greeting. Mr. Huff has had the remains of his mother [nee Pleasa Garver (1806-1830)], who died in 1830, and those of his father, Mr. William Huff [1800-1848], who died in 1848, removed from their burial place on the hill south of Hickory Creek, to a lot in the St. Joseph cemetery.
His father came to this vicinity in 1828 or 1829, when the country was an entire wilderness, with scarcely a white inhabitant. At the time of the death of his mother, the family lived on the farm where the mother and father were buried. The father sold his farm and engaged in mercantile business at this place. About the year 1845 his father built the Western Hotel, afterwards called the Perkins House.
Mr. William Huff was well known to very many of the business men of this State and Chicago. He was a man of great energy of character, a good citizen, an affable and obliging neighbor, and much respected." END
