DEATH OF T. W. PERKINS.
It is with genuine sorrow that we are called on to chronicle the death of Thos. W. Perkins, a prominent and popular citizen of the southern portion of our county, who died in New Orleans on last Friday morning at three o'clock at the Presbyterian Hospital, where he had gone for treatment. He had been suffering for sometime past with some trouble which affected his head and about two weeks ago he went to New Orleans to consult a physician with the hope of getting relief. He came back home, but after a few days there tetanus developed so he took the train and returned to the icty {sic} on Tuesday morning of last week. However, the disease had gained such headway that nothing could be done for him.
His remains were brought here and interred in the Evergreen Cemetery on Saturday morning, the funeral services having been held at the Woodville Methodist Church, with Rev. W. W. Hopper officiating.
The deceased, who was born in West Feliciana Parish on October 14, 1874, was one of the most popular men of
his section, where he was held in high esteem by all who knew him. His sudden taking away has caused deep and sincere sorrow among his large circle of friends and relatives, and to the writer it marks the passing away of a friendship which has extended over a period of many years.
He leaves a wife and two children, one son and one daughter, a mother, Mrs. Hattie Perkins of this county, and one brother, Dr. L. W. Perkins of California, and one half-sister, Mrs. D. N. Walker of this town. His death to all of them is heart=rending, especially so to his immediate family and to his aged mother, to all of whom we extend the sincere sympathy of one who knew their loved one and prize his friendship.
