• Notes

  from "The Rochester Democrat and Chronicle", 4 Nov 1952 (newspapers.com) Ernest F. Perkins, 9 1/2 Fairmont St., retired New York Central Railroad engineer who was seriously injured in Feb. 1942 when his train overturned near the Elwood Ave. crossing because of ice and snow conditions, died yesterday (Mov. 3, 1953). He was 65. Before he suffered the loss of his right arm in the wreck, Mr. Perkins was an active man whose recreation included hunting, bowling, boating and fishing. He retained his interest in bloating, operating his own craft in the Sodus Bay area, until his illness, which confined him of the past seven months. He began his career as a fireman with the New York Central in 1904, becoming an engineer eight years later. Beginning as freight train engineer, Mr. Perkins later for many years operated a passenger train between Buffalo and Syracuse. After the accident, he returned to work in the Wayneport coaling station office of the railroad until his retirement in 1947. He attended St. Mark's and St. John's Episcopal Church. Surviving are his wife, Mrs. Mae Weigel Perkins; a son, Ernest A.; a daughter, Mrs. Earl Annas; three brothers Oliver, Frank and Leon' three grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Services will be held at 2 p.m. Thursday in the Mattle Funeral Home, 300 Cumberland St. The Rev. Frank R. Fisher will officiate.
