He had been in poor health ever since he left army. He was in the service four years and contracted disease from which he never recovered. from The Geneva Advertiser", 4 Oct 1881 (fultonhistory.com) The funeral of Erastus Perkins, who died on Friday last, was held yesterday afternoon at 3 1/2 o'clock, The G.A.R. boys turned out in quite full force in their neat uniforms. Mrs Perkins had been an invalid for many years. and this transition from a world of suffering and pain to that "where the weary are at rest," was met with fortitude and no reluctance.
