| 3764 | from "The Albany (TX) News, 23 Mar 1900" We clip the following items from the Seymour news and Baylor Co. Banner, regarding Rev. W. D. Robinson's trouble. Mr. R. has many warm friends in Albany and vicinity who are in deep sympathy [with] him and family, and hope that the trouble is not so serious as the clippings may indicate. Killing of Captain Jones Bandera, Texas, March 3. The remains of Captain W.E. Jones, who was killed by Rev. Robinson, late chaplain of the Fourth Texas, we're brought here today. Jones had been shot five times with buckshot. His own gun was found at the bottom of the buggy. There was one chamber empty, but the weapon had not been recently exploded. Robinson was committed to jail and will have his examining trial tomorrow. The trouble between the two men was of long standing. - Seymour News. Rev. W.D. Robinson Kills a Man Rev. W. D. Robinson, who was pastor of the M. E. Church at this place for the year 1897 and who was sent here for the year 1898, but resigned when he was appointed Chaplain of the 4th Texas regiment in the spring of that year, killed Capt. W. E. Jones near Medina, Bandera county, Texas, about the 1st of this month. The news appends below all the information and anent the particulars we have been able so far to get and gives it to its readers just as it was for what it is worth. Mrs. Jones, wife of the murdered man, is an old friend of Mrs. Davenport of this place, there for the letter which follows: Medina, Texas, Mar. 4, 1900. Mrs. Maggie Davenport, Seymour, Texas. Although I am in utter stranger to you, but your friend, Mrs. Jones requested me to write you about the sad news, the death of her husband Capt. W. E. Jones, he was shot while coming from Medina, our post-office, seven miles from the ranch, he was coming home was nearly here, he was killed by Rev. W. D. Robinson and everyone most thinks he was waylaid and killed. We are very much surprised. No one knew there was much enmity, the only thing we knew was the Capt. didn't approve of his way of doing and said so publicly and thought he had heard it and thought he would get rid of him so he couldn't expose him. Of course he is telling different things now. He is out on $4,000 bond. It is a very sad affair. I have been boarding here with them for 6 months. Write to her at once. Respectfully, Mrs. Shim. Rev. W. D. Robinson in Trouble A killing occurred at Medina, Texas, about the 1st of March that involved a gentleman and former pastor of Seymour, is one of the principles in the tragedy. The murdered man was Capt. W. E. Jones of Medina, and he was killed by Rev. W. D. Robinson, who will be remembered as the pastor of the Methodist church in ‘97 and ‘98. It is alleged that Jones had circulated scandalous reports concerning the family of Robinson. This caused bad blood to exist and it's so affected Robinson that he shot Jones, killing him instantly. He then surrendered to the officers and inform them where they would find the body of Jones. On reaching the place designated by Robinson the sheriff discovered the corpse. Robinson was taken into custody to await the action of the grand jury but was released on a bond of $4,000. Bro. Robinson has a large circle of friends in Seymour who sympathize deeply with him and his family in this trouble, and who will rejoice to hear of his acquittal if tried for the murder of Captain Jones. -Baylor Co.

| 3781 | from "The Amherst Farmer's Cabinet", 12 Sep 1876 (genealogybank.com) THE LOWELL MURDER - It appears that the woman who killed Charles Ricker, at Lowell, last week, is none other then Lucy Ann Mink, the same who was arrested and tried for killing Dr. Baker, of Warren, Maine, formerly of this place, whom the jury failed to convict, but of whose guilt there was little doubt in the minds of the public. The murderess came to Lowell some eight months since, assuming the name of Lula A. Martin, and was employed at the boarding house of the brother of Ricker's as a domestic. Ricker was quite intimate with her until he learned that she was the person who was tried for the murder of Dr. Baker. She is dark complexed, of medium height, and weighs about one hundred pounds. Ricker made a statement of the circumstances of the tragedy before his death which was substantially as follows: He had kept company with her since February last, but of last had not been so attentive as formerly. She frequently followed him on the street and seemed anxious to renew their intimacy. She invited him to visit her on the night of the fatal shooting, and she was with him two hours at her room, on the third floor of No. 88 Merrimack street. The door was locked and there was no light in the room, for the reason, as she said, that there was no kerosene for her lamps. She went to the sink apparently for a drink of water, and returned and stood partially against the door to keep him from going out, and facing him, she fired the pistol when only a foot distant. He did not see pistol till the moment she fired. There was no scuffle and no angry words. After the shoots were fired he held her hands to prevent a second discharge of the pistol, and as soon as his cries brought help, he went to the doctor's office and then to his lodgings where he died Saturday afternoon. | Baker, Peyton Randolph (I16794)

| 3789 | from "The Annapolis Spectator", 31 Jul 1963 Annapolis Hotelier Holds Taxi Record (by Hortense Spurr Gilliatt) William R Perkins, genial owner and operator of the Hillsdale House in Annapolis Royal for the past 44 years, is the great grandson of Reverend Cyrus Peck Perkins, who was sent out from England by King George II as chaplain to His Majesty?s Forces in Annapolis Royal, and who later was the second rector of St Luke's Anglican Church here. William Perkins? father, the late Cyrus Alexander Perkins, bought the Hillsdale House in 1897. When he died in 1919[sic], Mr Perkins took over and has operated it ever since. He says, that when he was a lad of 8 years he was playing on the third storey of a building being built in town and fell to the cellar. He was down that time, but ever since has been moving up, he declared. Worked Many Hotels He has worked in many hotels-as a bellboy in the Vanderbilt in New York; in a hotel in Jamestown, Virginia, in 1907, when that town celebrated its 300th anniversary; in St Georges in Hamilton, Bermuda; in the Clarendon Hotel in Daytona Beach, Fla. One of the First Taxis From 1911 to 1914, he ran the Central House in Middleton and owned a Livery Stable in connection with it. It was during this period that Mr Perkins owned 3 race horses: Bellmack, Brian Queen and Royal Harry. The last one won a prize at the Halifax Exhibition for 3 classes ? best saddlehorse, road horse and all-round horse. With the coming of motor cars, Mr Perkins switched his interests to taxi-ing. He holds the record for being one of the first taxi drivers in Canada. This honor was challenged in 1957 by William Rathwell of North Bay, Ontario who started taxi-ing in 1914, but Mr Perkins disproved this claim, and retained the record. He began in 1912, and has held a taxi license for 50 consecutive years. He says: ?I didn?t get one this year as I don?t want to run any opposition to the boys in town. Mr Perkins first taxied for the late Captain John Spurr, who built the first Colonial Arms Hotel at Deep Brook overlooking Victoria Bridge. (The same deep sea captain who used to say: ?I sailed through Hell?s Gate to marry my bride in Paradise, Nova Scotia.) $120 in One Day Mr Perkins bought his first Overland car for $1250, and paid for it in 6 weeks taxi-ing. One of his best days, he says was at the Bridgewater Exhibition, when with a 10 cent far, he made $120 ? all in one day. He has made some 25 motor trips to Florida and has also motored to Mexico and California. The Hillsdale House is furnished with priceless antiques. One show piece is the bed in which King George V slept when he was a cadet in town. His signature is also on the register. Mr Perkins is a gardener, on the side. He grows pansies, roses and other flowers which fill the huge platters that decorate the dining room as well as the fresh vegetables for the meals. His sister, Miss Charlotte I Perkins is famous for her book ?The Romance of Old Annapolis Royal?. In 1919, Mr Perkins married Miss Caroline Orde, who has been a great help to her husband, in making his success throughout the years. | Perkins, William Rutherford (I2620)

| 3792 | from "The Annapolis Spetator", 18 Oct 1911 (Annapolis Heritage Society) The death of Mr Cyrus A Perkins on Thursday morning last removes from town one of its most esteemed citizens and the last survivor among us of the third generation of the family established here by the Reverend Cyrus Perkins, a graduate of King?s College, Windsor, before it had received its charter as a university, who succeed the Reverend Mr Bailey as Rector of St Luke?s in 1808 and held the position until 1817, when, being offered a parish in England he went there, and met his death by accidental drowning in crossing a river. He was the first Church of England clergyman in the old town who recognized the necessity and duty of keeping a regular and full parish register. Reliable tradition represents him as a man of good ability, fine personal appearance and dignified presence. He married Mary, daughter of Henry Rutherford, a prominent loyalist who settled in Digby and represented that town in the House of Assembly from 1793 to 1808. The reverend gentleman had a brother who settled in Jamaica and was the father of Lady Burton, wife of Sir George Burton, late Chief Justice of Ontario. His son William B Perkins, the father of the subject of this notice was form many years proprietor of one of the old hotels in Annapolis Royal, and was very popular with the travelling public in those quiet old days as a well informed, genial and gentlemanly host, who strove to make the sojourn of his guests homelike. He married Mary, daughter of Isaac Woodbury and widow of James Delancey Harris, the mother of our citizen Bonnett Harris, who is thus a half brother of the deceased. Mr Perkins succeeded his father in the hotel business and conducted the house now known as the Queen Hotel, which he left about 15 years ago and bought the Hillsdale where he and his family have since made an agreeable house for our summer visitors. Mr Perkins was for some time, considerably interested in gold mines in Caledonia the returns from which did not realize the expectations of their proprietors. He was of a most generous and confiding disposition and always ready to help a friend financially, when he had the means, even when it involved risk and inconvenience to himself. He was a liberal in politics and in old times a warm supporter and friend of the late Hon. WH Ray. He was in his 75th year. He leaves a widow who was a Miss Turner of Lawrencetown, 2 sons, Cyrus A, an electrical engineer, and William B of Middleton, and 3 daughters: Mrs Carman O'Dell, Mrs Charles Sweeny of Yarmouth, and Miss Lottie at home.
