Plainview Herald:
This and That by Jim Servatius
Mrs. E.Q. Perry, whose funeral services were held today, will be missed by many people, not the least of which will be those Herald employees who knew her through the years when her husband was publishing the newspaper. During those years she was a frequent visitor to the plant, going from the front offices through the pressroom chatting with employees and always asking about their husband or wife, as the case might be, and their children. This went on for years and endeared her to everyone who knew her. New members of the staff were special targets. Within a few days after their arrival Mrs. Perry would make an appearance, welcoming the newcomer to Plainview and always inquiring about the family. Although her father was owner and publisher of the Plainview News, which, along with the Plainview Herald were the predecessor newspapers of the current Daily Herald, Mrs. Perry's interest was not in the newspaper as much as in the people who made it a newspaper. She made them feel they were an important part of the operation, which they were, and that they were appreciated. Sadye Earle, as she was know to countless Plainviewans, was noted for her love of animals as much as for anything else. And that interest, especially for the canine species, was not limited to her own pets. It had no bounds. If ever the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals should have given an award, it should have gone to her. Her quiet manner and her interest in others were hallmarks of Sadye Earle Perry but they were only two of the reasons why she will be missed by so many.

Adams, was owner and publisher of the Plainview News from 1911 until his death in 1925 in France from malaria contracted on a round-the-world trip. Mrs. Perry's husband published the paper during Mr. Adams' absence and upon his death continued to publish the News until 1929 when he, the late E.B. Miller and the late H.S. Hilburn as partners consolidated both the News and the Herald. Mr. Perry became publisher in 1954 upon Mr. Miller's death. He retired in 1965 when the Herald was purchased by James N. Allison. Mr. and Mrs. Perry were married in Fort Worth Nov. 2, 1921. She was a member of St. Mark's Episcopal Church. Surviving are her husband; two daughters, Mrs. Larry Hall of Muleshoe and Mrs. Rex Jordan of Plainview; and four grandchildren, Perry and Lawren Hall of Muleshoe and Hallye and Keith Jordan of Plainview. The family said that memorials may be donations to St. Mark's Episcopal Church or to favorite charities.
