The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1907-11-08

On Wednesday morning at 7 o'clock
Owosso and Shiawassee county lost one
of its most distinguished citizens-the
venerable DIR. Jabez Perkins, respected
and beloved by hundreds of people to
whom he ministered for years and
years. AS is we'll known the DIR. had
been confined to the house for several
years, suffering greatly at times, yet
never complaining, indeed his one
thought seemed to be to make things as
easy as possible for his devoted wife
and relatives, who helped to care for
him. His physical condition made this
no light task. He had been able to be
up every day but had been out of the
house only once for many months
During his confinement to the home he
had been able to act with the county
pension board, of which he had been
member for many years, by having
the meetings held at his house and in
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1907-11-08

this way he had kept in touch with
many of the people of the county. A
few days ago he fell in his room and
from that time on his decline was
rapid-death being due. to the inirmi-
ties of age and a general breaking
down. In conversation with friend
but few days before his death DR..
Perkins said he was prepared for the
call which must soon come, that he
looked forward to the future without
fear. If deeds of kindness and minis
tering to others are to be considered in
summing up the life work of man but
few could look for the reward which
should follow with as much confidence
as could the DIR. His had been life
work-many. many times without
reward-for the relief of the sufferings
of his fellows.
DR.. Perkins is survived by his wife
and one sister, Mrs. s. B. Masters, of
Pioneer, Ohio, the latter not being able
to be here for the funeral on account of
her age. The funeral services will be
held this afternoon at the residence,
Rev. G. H. Hanks officiating. The
doctors of the county will attend the
funeral in body, while the Masonic
lodge will act as escort to the cemetery.
Jabez Perkins was born in Def
ance, Ohio, October 26, 1920. He liv-
ed there until he was fourteen years
of age when he went to William
county, Ohio, assisting his father in
-four mill and in working on the
farm. He entered Wesleyan Univer-
sity at the age of eighteen and after
spending two years there, took up
the study of medicine with local
physician. He also attended Western
Reserve University, Cleveland, for
the purpose of hearing the medical
lectures.
1t was at this institution, in the
early forties, that he saw ether, now
common and well-nigh indespensi-
Bile anesthetic first used. The men,
bers of the faculty lectured about the
drug one day and asked for volun-
teer upon whom 1t might be tested.
DR.. Perkins brother-in-law had a
tooth which he wished removed and
he expressed his willingness to un-
dergo the anesthetic. The use of the
drug was successful in every way, al
though more than one person in the
room was little dubioss before the
experiment began. Previous to that
time, DR.. Perkins had seen and as
sisted at operations where no an

Horse and Buggy Stolen From Union
Transfer Co.

Nearly two weeks ago. George Nc
Comb, machinist, secured a horse and
carriage of the Union Transfer Co. to
drive to Flushing where he said he had
some work to do, agreeing to return the
next day. Not hearing from McComb
for several days the case was reported
to Sheriff Watson and search at once
instituted for the property. The carri~
age and harness were found at Ann AR
Dor on Monday and on Wednesday the
horse was also located near that city
and the property has been returned to
this city, Sheriff Watson is directing
every effort to locate McComb and il
is safe to predict that he will soon due

Refused to Make Permanent Decree

Refused to Make Permanent Decree.
On Monday Judge Wisner, of Flint,
presiding in place Of Judge Miner,
who was engeged in Howell, heard
the argument on the petition to make
the decree restraining the county
treasurer from paying the courthouse
indebtedness a permanent one by
striking from the order the words
until further order of this court"
The petitioners were represented by
Fitzpatrick & Pierpont; John 7. Nc
Curdy by e. H. Lyon, of st. Johns,
Hickman Sons Co., by A. e. Rich
ards. After going over the proceed
ings and hearing the statements of
the attorneys, Judge Wisner decided
that the injunction should stand as
originally made, except that the in
junction against the payment of M.
II. Knapp of $4,000 due him was re-
moved 1t was the opinion of the
court that inasmuch as John r. Nc
Curdy was not made party to the
case in the original petition, had
never been in court to protect his in
terests and had commenced suit to
recover the amount loaned the coun-
ty, that the injunction should not be
changed until after the trial of the
McCurdy case-the county being
protected by the present injunction.
If Mr.. McCurdy can establish a legal
claim he would be entitled to pay
ment which could not be made If
permanent order was entered. 1t
was conceded that Mr.. McCurdy's
claim had nothing to do with the
building of the court house but was
for money loaned the county three or
four years before steps were taken
looking toward a new building. 1t
was the contention Of Mr.. McCurdy's
attorney that the original order was
not legally made as neither the cred
itors or the county was made party
to the suit, and that the rights of the
creditors could not be jeopardized
without their being heard.
There was no objection to the or
der releasing the claim of Mr.. Knapp.
His petition was presented by Gus
F. Friege,, who showed the court
that the orders were originally given
for services to Ex-Sheriff Gerow and
by him transferred to Mr.. Knapp.
Funds not being available to pay the
orders when presented they were
taken up and notes issued. The su-
pervisors at the January session will
undoubtedly issue new order to Mr..
Knapp.
The case of Hickman Sons, Co., to
recover $941 was on motion of A. E.
Richards, dismissed.

morning at 10 o'clock. Rev. G. f.
Hanks officiated and interment made liz
the Henderson cemetery. Surviving

ter, Mrs. Charles Amos, of Henderson,

In his later teens or soon after
reaching 20 years of age, Mr.. Wixom
started on the road with a wagon

Travelled all over Michigan and ad-

the name of Wixom was as familiar
in the rural districts and small towns
as is that of Forepaugh today.
Mr.. Wixom studied law winters in
the office of a Flint attorney and
was admitted to practice at the Gen
esee county bar. For years after
such admission, however, he contin-
ued to travel with his circus in sum-
mer, coming back to practice in Cen

Y. a. Convention.

The Y. P. A. convention at the
Evangelical church had a good be-
ginning Monday evening with a
grand address by DR.. F. c. Berger, of
Flint. Subject, us the Boy Absolom
Safer" He showed the great need of
taking care of the boys and the i'm
portance of boys growing up to be
clean and pure men free from the use
of tobacco, cigarettes and strong
drink. He referred to the Importance
of young people working harder for
honor and exalted positions than for
wages. Too many are working in
this advanced age more for the
money that is in it, than for honor
and advancement.
The program was carried out in
full on Tuesday. The papers read
by Walter Schultz, of Owosso, and
Miss Mabel Voss, of Oregon, Mich,
brought out grand thoughts and
ideals on prayer. Profitable discus
sion followed Normal lessons given
by Rev. w. r. Currier, of Flint, were
appreciated very much by the con-
vention. The paper read by Miss
Helen Schwartz, of Chesaning, and
a recitation rendered by Gladys
Burkhart, of New Haven, were well
taken and enjoyed by all. The open
Berger was a real treat of good
things for the young people. The
evening service was we'll attended
and a blessing to ALL Rev. w. r..
Currier, of Flint, preached a magni-
ficent sermon on Faith, showing
plainly the difference of historical,
temporal and saving faith. This
service was blessed with two seekers
of salvation from sin.
Wednesdays program was full of
life and good instruction. The
papers that were read and the lively
NAL lesson by Rev. F. G.. Berger and
the personal workers conference by
Rev. j r. Niergarth, of Ionia, were
all uplifting and edifying. The even
ing service was one long to be re-

garth, of Ionia, gave the closing adj
dress of the convention.

The doctor began the practice of
medicine at Springville, near Adrian,
and was there several years. He was
sent to the legislature one term from
that district. In 1859 he took a
postgraduate course at the College
of Physicians and Surgeons, New

south, he came to Owosso locating
here in 1860. Consequently, for
nearly half century he called

ing at his home in Bancroft, Martin
V. B. Wixom passed away after a
sickness of several weeks. He had not
been in good health for number of
months and some time ago went to
Detroit for treatment and an opera
ton. His condition became precari-
Gus but he later improved and was
brought home. A general breaking

Funeral services were held Monday

including several attorneys of the
county, were present.
Mr.. Wixom is survived by a wife
and four sons-Van, Ernest and
Frank Wixom, of Bancroft, and DR..

The death of MAT" Wixom will
come as a genuine shock to his
hosts of friends in this and surround

good-tempered, there was not an un-

few, if any real enemies.

- patient attitude of who waits for
l&gSsEs2j friend, but though he puzzled his cum
ming brain he could see no way out
of the difficulty. He had money, and the
police were after him.
Presently, his humming brain began to clear.
He saw one or two people there whom he knew;
he saw Beatrice come down to the Office and go
out presently, with little flat case under her
arm. Richfords eyes cleaned, and glow of
inspiration thrilled him.

told himself "She is afraid that I should hit
upon some scheme for getting them, and she is
going to dispose of them in some hiding place.
III follow her. Courage, my boy-the game is
not up yet
AS matter of fact, Richford had summed up
the situation correctly. In vague way
Beatrice was a little alarmed. She had heard
of such things as iniunctions and the like. Sup
pose the law stepped in to protect the rogue,
as the law does sometimes. And Beatrice had
something else to do, for she had read Berring-
tons letter, and she had made up her mind to

all she would walk as far the old family jew
elers in Bond street and deposit the stones there.
No sooner had Beatrice stepped out of the ho-
tel than Mary Sartoris came back. She pro.
ceeded quietly up the stairs to find Adeline alone
in the room of her mistress. The girl blushed
as Mary put the question that rose naturally
to her lips.
"I'm very sorry, miss the girl stammered;
"but I forgot all about your message and the
letter. I left the letter on the table, and my
mistress has just gone out"
"Tm sorry you were careless" she said
"Did your mistress go out alonep
"I believe so," Adeline said "She had a Wis,
itor, an old clergyman who"
But Mary was not listening, she was only
thinking of Beatrice's danger At the same time
she had a clear recollection of the old clergy
man. for he had pushed past her into the hots
at the moment when she was leaving the build
ing for the first time.
She went out into the street, which was dark
by this time. She would take cab to Wands
worth at once and get there before Beatrice
came But there was no cab in sight SO that
Mary had to walk some little way. At the cor
ner of the road she stopped and hesitated fol
a moment Close by stood the well-dressed eou
pie who had imposed themselves upon Beatric,
under the guise of Countess de la Moray and
General Gastang.
Just for the moment it flashed across her mind
that they were prying upon her movements. Bui
another idea occurred to her as the two wer,

seen before and who had been visitor 10 Bea
