• Notes

  from "The Clifton News", 14 Sep 1894 (newspapers.com) Friday morning the sad news of the death of J.N. Perkins reached here from Washington. He was sick but a short time and died of fever. Mr. Perkins was born Aug. 31st, 1857, in Illinois, moved to Iowa when quite young, and from there to Washington Co., Kan., in '70, where he lived up to his death, Sept. 6th, 1894. He was married to Miss Anna Bowland May 1st, 1889. He was conscious to with in a few minutes before his death and said he had but a short time to live. He had been a cripple since he was eight years old, caused by fever fore and hop disease. He educated himself by his won efforts and was a pupil in the Clifton schools under Prof. Rice. For several years he taught school, then was employed as assistant register of deeds, and was elected to that office by his many friends in Washington county, serving one term. By close economy he had saved a competency and bought a small farm near Washington, which he leaves to his wife. He was the fifth child of a family of seven children; two brothers and three sisters yet survive, all living in Kansas; also his father and half brother are still living. He was an honored citizen and lived to do good to his fellow men, and he well be missed by the large circle of friends, who know and loved him.
