DEATH OF LEANnER PERKINS.


DEATH OF LEANpER PERKINS.
Leander Perkins died sunday, July Is,
from Bright's disease, after an illness of
several months, aged sixty-two years.
Though for some time ais friends real
lied that he was gradua : wasting away,
yet TO the last the deceased was full of
courage and hope of recovery, and fertile
with plans for the tJi se. He was not
afraid 10 die, but he wa- anxious to live
that he might care for MS invalid wife
who needed him so mucA
The deceased was d hard worker from
his youth, never allow lng himself time
for rest or recreation. He was never hap
pier than in the rush Of business, nor
his song more cheery than when the even
ing hours We're closing Ipon his daily
tasks. For unceasing, uAJiring industry,
his life furnishes a rare ezanple. Fer the
last seventeen years he b-ly up and car
ried on quite d large dairy business With
the people Of Ellsworth, and I venture to
assert that they always found him uni
foraly courteous and obliEing.
Mr.. Perkins possessed rare disposition,
a never falling fund of good nature, which
breathed inspiration ana nope wherever he
moved. He was deeply interested in sun
day school work. As husband, he was
teuder and devoted; a. q Haighbor. Kind
and obIigiug; as citizen. honest and up
right ii his dealings with rs fellowmen.
His memory viii be long her:shed for
the kindness of his life
Tuesday afternoon tha funeral was at
tended by large hummer If relatives,
neighbors and friends. vino oppressed by
their saddened countenancee their high
appreciation of the character of the de-
ceased and the great loss tneg sustained in
his death.
