...Slower and slower the unseen fingers guided the shuttle as it wove the garment of life. Some spots were bright, and gay while others took on the sombre colors of hardship, pain and sorrow. At last the Great Artificer of life whispered, It is finished, and the shuttle ceased its beat and the body of Henry Milton Perkins was at rest, the garment of life was finished and is handed to the Supreme Artificer for his approval.
...Henry Milton Perkins was born near Spratenbury, South Carolina, June 4th, 1846, and came to the end of life's journey on June 16th, 1929, having accomplished the long life of eighty-three years and twelve days. Three sisters were born older than himself and three younger. In 1862 his father was killed during the War of Rebellion. War had destroyed his parent and its ravages had forced the young boy either to flee or join that monster that had destroyed so much that was dear to him. Education had not been stressed as it now is, so the only thing he had to depend on was the labor of his hands. Westward he turned and not having the ability to correspond with his loved ones he saw them no more and also lost track of them. He turned toward the West and spent some time in Tennessee where he married Miss Mary M. Wallace. At this time Mr. and Mrs. Perkins loaded their all into a prairie schooner and with the ox-team made their way from Tennessee to the southern part of Missouri. Here they made their home for many years. In the Missouri home three sons and two daughters were born.
...In 1891, again the Perkins turned toward the west and landed in the vicinity of Kirwin, Kansas. Not long after their arrival Mrs. Perkins passed from this life. Later a son and then a daughter followed their mother into the Great Beyond. Jasper (Jay) of Downs, Kansas: Sparlin of Butte, Nebraska and Francis Mahalah (Dollie) Baughman of Edmond, Kansas, with six grandchildren and nine great grandchildren mourn the going of this loved one.
...Mr. Perkins was married a second time to Miss Molly Highley of Kirwin on September 17th, 1894. To this union were born eight children two of whom passed on infancy. James and Thomas of Lenora, Kansas; Mrs. Clara Townley, Phillipsburg; Mrs. Myrtle Bennett, Kirwin; Oletha and Alice who are at home, with eight grandchildren join the above in mourning the going of their father.
...The experiences of youth left our brother with distrust for the human race and a feeling that he alone would have to care for himself and those of his own household. Suffering and hunger stirred within him a sympathy that knew no bounds. In his eagerness to help or advise he very often was misunderstood for he took no time to clothe his words with the niceties of beautiful language but strove to get to the point of doing the necessary task.
...Mr. Perkins has been a citizen of this community for nearly forty years. The farm and kindred interests have been his occupation. For the last years he has been in declining health and was cared for by his devoted wife and family; while all was done or he would permit to be done for him he closed the book of life to find that rest in the unseen. The memories of struggle in childhood and youth could not be erased from his mind and the sad and bitter facts haunted him until the end while the loving and loyal family ministered in every way that opened itself to them and tried to heal the wound of memory's stroke.
...The funeral service was conducted at the Methodist Church by Rev. F. J. Sanborn of Lebanon. A quartette composed of Mrs. Blanche Ronan; Mrs. Grace Brotemarkle; Mrs. Bess Thurber and Mrs. Iola McFadden sang. The interment was made in the Kirwin cemetery.
