Another old settler gone. Death of Mrs. T.F. Perkins, in her Seventy-second year. Mrs. Theresa Perkins, wife of T.F. Perkins, died at their home in Featherstone, Monday afternoon, October 31st, at four o'clock and twenty minutes, aged seventy-two years, two months and seventeen days. The disease was heart trouble and she passed away as quietly and gently as falleth to sleep the innocent babe on its mother's breast.
Miss Theresa Ellsworth was born in Franklin county, Maine, August 14th, 1809, and was married to T.F. Perkins, who was born in the same county, December 30, 1804, on September 20th, 1829, and they moved to this county in 1861; their married life having stretched over more than half a century. Besides her husband, she leaves five children, men and women well known and highly respected throughout this county, Jonathan R., Charles E., Timothy E., Hartson E. and Abbie S., (Mrs. Merritt Trippe) to cherish her fond memory. Though dead she still lives in the future of her children and grandchildren, and let no one say that such a life as hers, full of widely and motherly cares and joys, has been unworthy or wanting in the humble grandeur of success.
The mother in her struggles and victories, wielding her scepter of her children's loves, is the most honored of mortals. The poet hath well said, "The mother, in her office, holds the key of the soul; and she it is who stamps the coin Of character, and makes the being who would be a savage, But for her gentle cares, a Christian man; Then crown her queen of the world."
