The undersigned desire to place on record
this memorial of the late matron of the
Iowa County Home and Asylum, MRS.
E. j. PERKINS, whose death occurred on
the morning of September 5, 1905.
1t can be truly said of Mrs. PERKINS that
she gave her best service and her life for
the comfort of the unfortunates placed
under her care.
Her husband and daughter, mourning
the loss of true and noble wife and
mother. in their sorrow have the sympathy
of US all.
In her death, not only the inmates of the
Home and the Asylum, but the people
Of the whole county count have suffered loss
To her work of many years as matron
she brought rare intelligence and womanly
tact She proved more than a helpmate
for Superintendent Perkins, whose aim
has ever been to give to the county the
best possible service in the management
of the Home and Asylum.
She was q home keeper in the fullest
sense Of the word. A matron not only in
name but in very truth and in very deed.
She needs no words Of praise from us;
her works testify of her.
In the care of the afflicted she was
patient. gentle and kind. She discharged
every duty as matron with faithfulness
that won for her the commentator of
all who visited the institutions over which,
with her husband, she presided for up
wards of twenty-four years, and whose
neat and homelike appearance gives proof
of the care bestowed upon them.
We ask that this memorial be made
part of the records of the county and be
published with the proceedings of the
Board Of Supervisors.
