A very pleasing feature at the Congregational church, for the last two Sundays, was the appearance of the pastor's wife with her large class of girls at the morning service.

There are always good sermons, and a pleasure to hear the two boy singers -- Wilfred Cunningham and Hollis Johnson.

Mrs. Myers with her gift for original poems, answered hers with a clever one, taking in alphabetical order each who worked so well to make the play a success.

The passing away of Mr. Perkins, came as a great shock to his friends and townspeople. Mr. Perkins died on his 85th birthday. He was an active man, and was not called upon to be laid aside from his daily tasks but one week. On the Sunday before his death, he officiated at the Communion service at the church preparing for it as was his custom. He was not well at that time, and this was the last outside work that he did.

Mr. Perkins was the senior deacon of the Congregational church, where his father, Deacon James Perkins held the same office for [unreadable].

Mr. Perkins belonged to one of the oldest families of the town. To a type that is fast passing away, interested in all church affairs, always present at all church functions, firm in their stand for the right, willing to do all in their power to help any good cause, where are we to find any to fill the place of these faithful ones.

Mr. Perkins leaves at home a faithful wife to mourn his loss, and to her and [his] mother, who is 94 years of age and to whom Mr. Perkins had been as a kind son, the sympathy of all goes out in a great measure.

Mr. Perkins leaves a daughter by a former marriage, Mrs. Eugene Nudd, who has been a devoted daughter in his illness.

The funeral services were held in Congregational chapel, on Wednesday, a large number showing their love and respect by their presence, and Rev. Edger Warren, The Pastor, Mr. Cummings paid loving tributes to the departed.

The ladies' quartette, sang in a pleasing manner, two selections. The loss fell heavily on the aged brother, Mr. Warren Perkins, who is in his 90th year. The older sister Mrs. Eleanor Noyes, and the younger sister Miss Maria Perkins, are all that remain of the family circle. The bearers were John F. Marston, Ernest G. Cole, Oliver Hobbs and Harry Noyes.

The flowers were very beautiful, many from family and friends. Noticeable was a wreath from the G. A. R. of which Mr. Perkins was made an honorable member many years ago. There were pieces from the church, the three remaining deacons, neighbors and others.

He will be missed in home, church, town, but after all there is not a better epitaph than this to be said of our friend, "Passed Away-a Good Man."
