John H. Perrigo died Friday afternoon at his home on Albert street,after a several months illness with locomoter-ataxia, at the age of 53 years. Mr. Perrigo was born in this town and had always been deeply interested in its welfare. He had conducted a store on Main street for several years, having been proprietor of a ten cent store up to within a few months of his death.

Mr. Perrigo was a strong believer in fraternal insurance and was an active member of Court Oriental, I.O.F., and of Banner Tent, K.O.T.M. He had served as State deputy for the former order and during his services had secured more members for the Foresters than any other man in the State. He had few equals in the line of work and will be greatly missed by his society.

He is survived by a wife and a daughter, Miss Susie F., who mourn the loss of an affectionate husband, and a kind and indulgent father, and to them is extended the sympathy of the entire community.

The funeral was held Monday afternoon at the residence, Rev. W. A. Kelley, pastor of the Dover Universalist church, officiating. Floral offerings were very beautiful, among the number being a pillow from the Foresters and a wreath from the Maccabees.

The bearers were Robert M. Ingalls, Charles F. Ryder, Leon G. C. Brown, Elwood M. Brackett, John Parker, and Elmer F. Paine. The arrangements were in charge of undertaker William H. Downs and the interment was in Evergreen Cemetery.
