The following is quoted from Fletcher's obituary in the Lynchburg, VA "News and Advance":
Mr. Fletcher C. Perrow, a prominent and widely known farmer of Campbell county died at the Lynchburg Hospital yesterday afternoon, following an illness of almost two weeks. An operation was performed several days ago in the hopes of arresting the disease, but it proved unavailing.
Mr. Perrow was a man of literary tastes, broad culture and keen observation. He was one of the most popular citizens in the entire county. At the age of 16 (error-19) he entered the Confederate army as a volunteer and was a member of Company G, Second Virginia cavalry. He was a participant in most of the battles of the Army of Northern Virginia, including the second battle of Manassas, Fredericksburg, Stuart's raid around the Federal army, Gettysburg, the Wilderness, and Petersburg. He was one of four brothers enrolled in the Confederate cause, who although they passed through the bloodiest fighting, not a one was wounded. The brothers were Alexander D., a fellow member of Company G.,; Stephen C., one of Mosby's men, and Willis L., courier for Gen. Robert E. Lee. Mr. Perrow was the last survivor of the four.
He was the son of Capt. William C. Perrow and married Miss Sallie Payne, who died nineteen years ago. He leaves three sons, C.B. Perrow, of Altavista; F. Kirk Perrow, of Anniston, Ala., and Mosby G. Perrow, of this city; one brother, W.A. Perrow, of Campbell, and three sisters, Mrs. E.S. [Euphan] Moon, Mrs. John W. [Ora] Harvey and Miss Minnie Perrow, of Lynchburg.
The funeral services will take place Monday at 1 o'clock at Oak Grove, the family burying ground. Friends of the family are invited to be present.
