| 3016 | from "Perkins Family Papers, 1784-1861" (Clements Library, University of Michigan) BIOGRAPHY Benjamin Perkins was born in Salem, Massachusetts, on June 8, 1797, the son of David Perkins (1770-1859), a merchant, and Hannah Fabens (1771-1851). In 1823 [27 Oct 1823 Salem, Essex, MA], he married Jane Lawrence (1799-1890), daughter of Abel Lawrence and Abigail Page, and they moved to Hanover, New Hampshire, and then to Boston, where Benjamin established the publishing firm of Perkins & Marvin. They had several children: Charles (1824-1887), who became a clerk in Plymouth, New Hampshire; Mary (1826-1891); Jane (b. 1829); Benjamin (b. 1831); and Francis (b. 1833). The family was affiliated with the Congregational church and Benjamin Perkins served for 40 years as Treasurer of the Massachusetts Home Missionary Society. SCOPE The Perkins family papers comprise 177 letters and 2 compositions, which date 1807-1861, as well as a memorial book, published in 1891, containing biographical information on Benjamin and Jane Perkins. The majority of the collection is composed of correspondence between Benjamin Perkins, his wife Jane, and their family members, particularly Jane's parents and the couple's children. Between 1835 and 1850, the family exchanged approximately 120 letters on a number of topics. In addition to sharing a great deal of detailed family news, many letters discuss education and reading; in his letter of December 28, 1840, Benjamin wrote to his son, Charles, "I feel very desirous that you should be in the habit of having some useful book in hand always, altho' you are not able to read much at a time." Mary described her boarding school, on June 14, 1841. Additional items mention lectures by geologist Charles Lyell at the Lowell Institute (October 19, 1841), the publishing business (January 27, 1842), and travel to New York City and Philadelphia. Religion is also a frequent subject of the collection's correspondence, and many letters mention church attendance, charitable societies, and missionaries. On April 12, 1842, Mary Perkins wrote a letter concerning minister Edward Norris Kirk's visit to Roxbury and the crowds that he attracted, and stated "I like him a great deal better than any minister I ever heard before, and should be as happy as could be if he would settle here." Also included in the collection are several letters written by Thomas S. Childs, prominent clergyman and future husband of Jane Perkins. In a letter of August 1, 1845, he discussed the situation of a minister whose congregation was "equally divided in regard to his remaining" because of his abolitionist tendencies. This collection was originally thought to be related to the William and Isaac Perkins papers, but no connection between the two families has been found. | Perkins, David (I17541)

| 3027 | from "Pioneer Photographers of the Far West: A Biographical Dictionary, 1840-1865", by P.E. Palmquist & T.R, Kaukbourn, 2000 Perkins, Alfred Judson, Sr. (1838-1900) Photographer; active San Francisco c. 1865-1895; Vallejo, Calif., c. 1870-1872; Monterey Coast, Calif., c. 1882; Carson City, Nev., 1895. Alfred Judson Perkins was born in St. Charles, Illinois, on October 8, 1838. He counted among his ancestors Pilgrims who arrived at Plymouth, Massachusetts, aboard the Lion shortly after the arrival of the Mayflower. During his early adulthood Perkins set out for San Francisco, where his first job was that of broom maker. At some point in or during 1865 he worked as a photographic operations at the Higgins Gallery (probably Thomas J. Higgins). In May 1865, Perkins and Oscar Foss (Perkins and Foss) secured a twenty-five-dollar business license for the photographic gallery, which by December was located at 606 Kearny Street. The partnership remained operational until at least 1867. Around 1868 Perkins married Jane Elizabeth Presland Standish Sloan, an English lady who had recently arrived in San Francisco from Australia. They named their first child Alfred J Perkins, Jr. By December 1869, Perkins was working for Bradley and Rulofson (Henry William Bardley and William Herman Rulofson) at 429 Montgomery Street, San Francisco. The following year he moved to Vallejo, California, where he established a studio at 182 Georgia Street. In that town, Perkins also was involved in the partnership of Smith and Perkins, 183 Georgia Street (the backmarks of their cartes de visite read, "J.G. Smith, prop., A.J. Perkins, operator"), A report of Perkins's business for the fiscal year ending Jun 1, 1870, shows that he had revenues of twenty-eight hundred dollars and expenses of one thousand dollars. He employed one person but did not indicate the salary. Perkins remained in Vallejo until at at least 1875. By 1877, Perkins had returned to San Francisco and opened a gallery at 22 Kearny Street. During the latter part of the decade he and Peter J. Sullivan briefly were parner as Sullivan and Perkins, Jessie Street, San Francisco. By 1879, Perkins had moved to 227 Hayes, where he remained until 1884. During part of this period Perkins also issued photographs bearing the address of 333 Hayes. In 1880, Perkins and his wife became the parents of a daughter, Florence. Early in this decade he was involved in another partnership, Perkins and Pimental, Cosmopolitan Photograph Gallery, Minna street, San Francisco. (The partner was probably James M Pimemtel or Pimemtal.) Around 1882, at the suggestion of marine artist Charles Dorman Robinson, Perkins took a series of instantaneous, dry-plate 'Surf Views' of the Seal Rocks near the Golden Gate and Monterey coastline. These views were distributed by Sanborn, Vail and Company, 857 Market Street, San Francisco. Perkins took a photographic excursion to Pescadero Creek in 1884. | Perkins, Adoniram Judson (I19713)

| 3030 | from "Portrait and Biographical Album of Oakland County, Michigan", (1891) ANSON W. BAKER, a farmer on section 7, Highland Township, is a son of Royal Baker, a son of the Rev. Thomas, a native of the Green Mountain State. To him and his good wife Jerusha Waldo were born four sons and four daughters. The Rev. Thomas Baker came to Michigan in 1838. Here he engaged in the work of the ministry, and traveled on foot for many weary miles and preached in various parts of Oakland County. His work in this county continued until his death in 1845. He was then a man of four-score years and his ministry had extended over forty years. In 1849 his wife followed him to the grave at the age of seventy-five years. In his early boyhood he had been left an orphan by the death of his father who was killed by the Indians. One of his uncles was a soldier in the Revolutionary War and drew a pension through the remainder of his life of $100 a year. He was shot in the arm and the bullet went through and landed in his cartridge box and he kept this interesting relic for many years. | Baker, Rev Thomas (I14477)

| 3031 | from "Portrait and Biographical Album of Oakland County, Michigan", (1891) Royal Baker, the father of our subject, was born in Vermont December 19, 1801. At an early day he emigrated to Massachusetts and then to New York where he was married, March 14, 1824, to Lorane Cronover. By this wife he had three daughters, Louisa, Mrs. Palmer; Jerusha, Mrs. Sigler, and Maria, Mrs. Hinkley. His second marriage was with Sarah Shaw. The wedding was celebrated February 8, 1831, in New York. To them were born the following children: Anson, our subject; Thomas F.; Emily J.; Edward; Larkin, and William H. In 1842 Mr. Baker came to Michigan and settled on the farm now owned by his son Anson. He now purchased forty-five acres. He had visited Michigan a number of times and had taken up two hundred and forty acres in Livingston, Shiawassee and Oakland Counties. All that is left in the family of the original purchase at the present date is forty-five acres. He was a shoemaker by trade and followed this calling most of his life. He lived at Rochester when there were only a few log houses there. Both he and his good wife were active members of the Baptist Church. He died April 10, 1853, and his wife followed him to the grave the following year, breathing her last August 16, 1854. He cleared one hundred acres of land. He was a Whig and took an active part in both politics and church matters, and in a word was one of the prominent men of his day. | Baker, Royal (I15190)

| 3032 | from "Portrait and biographical album of Peoria County, Illinois, 1890, pg 825-826 BENJAMIN WARREN, Jr. The enterprise exhibited by this gentleman in the conduct of his business affairs has been such as to entitle him to the respect of other dealers and give him a prominent place in the commercial circles of Peoria. He was born in LaHarpe, Hancock Count, July 22, 1852, passed his boyhood days in the his native place, and after obtaining a good practical education, embarked in the grain business when twenty years old. Four years later, in 1874, he came to Peoria, continuing the business in which he had previously been engaged and in which he has become an adept. He is connected with the Board of Trade, of which he was President in 1885. Mr. Warren is President of Americus Club, and a highly-respected member of the Knights of Pythias. He has been a Director of Peoria Improvement Association since its organization was effected, and is now President of that body. He has never been an aspirant for political honors, but is a "wheel horse" in helping friends who do desire political preferment. He no doubt inherits much of his tact in trade, as his father has been engaged in general merchandising for years. He located in LaHarpe in 1845, coming thence from his native state of Main. In the Illinois town he met, wooed and married Miss Portia A. Nutt, an Ohio lady of estimable charger. To his worthy parents our subject owes much for their counsel and watchful guidance during his early years. An important step in the life of our subject was consummated February 12,1879, it being no less than his marriage t Miss Bertha, daughter of A.H. and Catherine (Baker) Day, her father formerly a merchant of Joliet, but both new deceased. Mrs. Warren is a well-bred and well-educated lady, who surrounds her husband and children with the joys of a happy home life, and hospitably entertains the friends who gather beneath her roof. Mr. and Mrs. Warren he three children - Ella, Charles D. and Frank M. | Warren, Benjamin (I2020)

| 3033 | from "Portrait and Biographical Album of Rock Island County, Illinois", pg. 377 1885 Rev. Charles Lincoln Morgan has been Pastor of the First Congregational Church of Moline since Nov. 1, 1881. He was born in East Boston, Mass., Jan. 31, 1849, the youngest of the three children of David and Marianne L. (Peirce) Morgan. The eldest, Mrs. Lucy M. Godley, died in Minneapolis Minn., in 1880. The second, David L. Morgan, is a prominent business man of Rutland, Vt. His father was a graduate of Dartmouth College in 1835, and was admitted to the Bar in Boston, where he practiced law till 1856. For two years, 1854-6, the family resided at Waltham, Mass. In May, 1856, when Charles L. was seven years of age, his father removed with his family to Minnesota and settled in Minneapolis, then a town of about 400 inhabitants. Here he practiced his profession and was prominent in all the political and educational interests of the place until his death in 1871. Charles L. left the High School at the age of 14 nearly prepared for college. In 1864 he united on profession with the Plymouth Congregational Church. The same year he entered the postoffice, of which his father was Postmaster during Lincoln's Administration, where he remained till the fall of 1865, when he became a clerk in the just opening dry-goods house of Wakefield & Plant. During the spring of 1867 a decision was reached to devote his life to the ministry, in accordance with which he left the dry-goods store and, hav-ing completed his preparations for college, entered Beloit College in Sept., 1867. Graduating from Beloit in 1871, he received the appointment as Principal of the public schools at Cheyenne, Wyo. Ter., for one year. He entered the Theological Department of Yale University in September, 1872, graduating from the same in May, 1875. Invited by the South Church of Springfield, Mass., to take charge of their mission work in connection with Hope Chapel for one year, he accepted and began his ministry there in June, 1875. During the fall and winter there ensued a growing spiritual interest, which resulted in the organization of Hope Congregational Church, with a membership of Sr, on March 15, 1876. Mr. Morgan was ordained to the ministry and to the pastorate of Hope Church on the same day and by the same Council. In November of 1880, a call to the pastorate of the First Presbyterian Church of Green Bay, Wis., was accepted. A year later a call was accepted to the First Congregational Church of Moline, 111., and removing thither the pastorate was begun which still continues. During the four years of this pastorate 113 have been received into the membership of the Church, 68 on confession of faith and 45 by letter. Repairs on the Church property have been made to the amount of $3,500. Two branch Sunday-schools have been conducted on the Bluff, for which a tasteful chapel is just completed at a cost of $3,000. Aside from his Church work in Moline Mr. Morgan has been a leader in the organization of the Society of Associated Charities, the Citizens' League for the Promomotion of Law and Order and the Young Men's Christian Association. In politics Mr. Morgan is first of all a Prohibitionist, believing that the destruction of the liquor traffic is the pre-eminent duty of this generation ; and second, a Republican in the belief that through the constituency of that party the end of prohibition can soonest be attained. On Sept. 14, 1876, Mr. Morgan was united in marriage with Miss Belle W. Merrill, born in Hinsdale, N. H., Oct. 31, 1849, the daughter of John B.and Caroline (Walker) Merrill, of Beloit, Wis. Two children have been born to them, - Carl Merrill, who died April 11, 1883, at the age of three years, and Gertrude Lincoln, born Feb. 19, 1844. | Morgan, Rev Charles Lincoln (I2190)

| 3034 | from "Portrait and Biographical Album of Will County, Illinois" Chicago: Chapman Bros., 1890 MAJ. ROBERT MANN WOODS, editor and publisher of the Republic and Sun, has for many years been a prominent figure among the various interests of Will County, and especially of the city of Joliet. He is a gentleman of fine abilities, possessing great energy and enterprise, and is in the habit of making a success of whatever he undertakes. He was born April 17, 1840, in Greenville, Mercer County, Pa., and is the son of William J. and Sarah (Mann) Woods. The parents were natives respectively of Western New York and Maryland. This branch of the Woods family is of Irish extraction, and as far back as the records go, were in religion Scotch-Irish Presbyterians. The father of our subject was a cabinet-maker by trade, and politically a life-long Abolitionist, being the only man in Pike County, this State, who voted for James G. Birney for President. For a number of years he published a Free Soil paper in Galesburg, Ill., having come to the State in 1842. In 1855, in company with others, he formed the Western Industrial and Scientific Institution, which established a still flourishing college at College Springs, Iowa. He is still living, a hale and hearty old man, making his home in Sheridan County, Kan., where three of his sons also reside. He was married the third time at the age of eighty-two years and is now eighty-five years old. He preserves much of his old time energy and activity, and at the present writing, April, 1890, is engaged in setting out an orchard and maintains that he expects to gather fruit from it for several seasons to come. To William J. Woods by his first wife, the mother of our subject, was born a family of ten children, of whom Robert M. was the fifth in order of birth. Marilla S., the first child, Mrs. Young, is living in Cameron, Mo.; the second child, Newton, is farming in Sheridan County, Kan.; Addison is a resident of Sheridan County, Kan.; Narcissa, Mrs. Cox, resides in Quincy, Ill.; John is engaged in the real-estate business at Joliet; Sarah J., Mrs. Maj. A. R. Anderson, died in Sidney, Iowa. Her husband was for several terms a member of Congress; Isaac, a gallant soldier of the Fourth Missouri Cavalry, died in Washington, Ind., in 1889; William P. is a grocer at Villisca, Iowa; and Williston B. is a farmer in Sheridan County, Kan. The subject of this notice was taken to Pike County, this State, in 1842, when a child, and lived there until 1848. Then going to Galesburg, he attended Knox College, and lived there for a period of ten years. In 1858 he crossed the Mississippi, and until 1861 taught school in Iowa and Missouri. At the outbreak of the Civil War he was appointed by Gov. Yates to a position in the Quartermaster's and Governor's offices, which occupied his time until June, 1864. He was then appointed Adjutant of Yates' Sharp-shooters, which formed the Sixty-fourth Illinois Regiment. He served in this through the Atlanta campaign and was then detailed as a mustering officer. Subsequently he served on the staff of Maj. Gen. Giles A. Smith, participating in the march to the sea and the campaign through the Carolinas, when he was commissioned Captain of Company A, Sixty-fourth Illinois Infantry, and was twice brevetted for gallant and meritorious service as Captain and Major. At the close of the war he went with his regiment to Washington, and was present at the Grand Review. He then proceeded with his regiment to Louisville, Ky., where he was mustered out, and as a mustering officer signed the discharge papers of over ten thousand soldiers. After leaving the army Maj. Woods was summoned to Springfield by Adj. Gen. I. N. Haynie, and there he wrote the histories of all the Illinois regiments for the Adjutant-General's report, these making nine volumes. In the spring of 1866, he wrote the constitution and by-laws, charter, etc.. for the Grand Army of the Republic, which was originated by Dr. B. F. Stephenson, and of which Maj. Woods was the first Adjutant-General. Soon afterward he organized the various departments throughout the Northwest. The original charter of Decatur Post, No. 1, has his name upon it. In 1868 Maj. Woods repaired to Chicago, Ill., where he was variously engaged, and for four and one-half years officiated as chief clerk during the construction of the United States Custom House and post-office, in that city. In 1877 he was appointed Insurance Examiner of Illinois, and during his incumbency of this office it became his duty to proceed against and close up, in the courts of the State, the Republic Life, the Protection Life, and Chicago Life Insurance Companies. This employed his time until 1879, and then turning his attention to the newspaper world, he purchased the Joliet Republican of James Goodspeed. He conducted this successfully until 1883, then purchased the Joliet Sun, which he merged with the Republican. In 1888, reaching out still farther, he purchased the Daily and Weekly Press, and consolidated the three papers under the name of Republic and Sun. He is an able journalist, making an interesting local paper, which has become one of the indispensable institutions of Will County. Its political complexion reflects his own convictions and sympathies, which have been in harmony with the principles of the Repulican party since he became a voter. He has an admirably equipped office, including a job department and book bindery, fitted out with all the machinery and other appliances necessary to do first-class work. The paper has a healthy subscription list, and the job department is generously patronized by the people of Joliet and Will County. Maj.

| 3035 | from "Portrait and biographical record of Hancock, McDonough and Henderson counties, Illinois : containing biographical sketches of prominent and representative citizens of the county", 1894 HON. JONATHAN HASKELL BAKER, a prominent early citizen of Macomb, who served his fellows in various official capacities, and was a leader at the Bar, was born in Walpole, N. H., May 8, 1817. He came of New England lineage, his ancestors having settled in that portion of the country- at so early a date that the exact time is not now discoverable. When only seven years of age he was left fatherless, and bound out to a farmer, with whom he remained ten years. At the expiration of that time, his "master" permitted him to enter a dry-goods store in Walpole as clerk, where he remained until he attained his majority. In the year 1838 he became thoroughly imbued with the idea that the then far western country known as Illinois was a proper field for a young man like him, full of energy and industry, and accordingly he made his way hither and settled in Macomb. The journey consumed twenty-seven days. He was not backward about the employment which he might obtain, so long as it afforded him an honest maintenance and an opportunity for advancement, and he set to work at the first thing offered, which was labor in a brickyard, where he continued nearly a year. His natural ability and his business education brought him to the notice of James M. Campbell, who offered him a position as clerk, and this he accepted. He remained with Mr. Campbell two years, and then formed a partnership in the grocery business with Joseph P. Updegraff, which continued a number of years. In the year 1845, Mr. Baker received the appointment of Postmaster at Macomb, and held that position four years. He engaged in the mercantile business with Charles Chandler in 1846, and during the remainder of his term as Postmaster the office was kept in their store. Mr. Baker remained in this business nine years, and at the expiration of that time ( 1855) went into the realestate, or " land office, " business, as it was then called. He was appointed County Clerk in 1858, to fill a vacancy occasioned by the death of Isaac Grantham, and served until 186 1. After the close of his term as Clerk, he engaged in the grocery' business with Joseph Burton, and remained in that line until 1865. Having given considerable time to the study of law, at the last-named date he formed a co-partnership with W. H. Neecefor the practice of law, which continued until 1877, at which time he was elected County Judge. He served the four-years term to which he was elected, and was re-elected in 1881, and served a second term. He was out of office four years, but was again nominated and elected in 1889 to the same office, and served therein until the time of his death, which occurred on the 31st day of August, 1890. Mr. Baker was married to Miss Isabelle Hempstead on the 14th day of March, 1843, at Macomb. Of this marriage four children were born, who survive him, viz.: Clara A., the wife of C. V. Chandler, whose biography will be found elsewhere in this work; Mary C, wife of E. L. Wells, of Macomb; Isabelle, wife of George A. Tunnicliff, a prominent lawyer of Macomb; and Joseph H, who resides with his mother. Mrs. Baker is a daughter of Stephen Hempstead and Mary L. LeFevre, and was born in St. Charles, Mo., to which place her parents had moved from New London, Conn., a short time previous to her birth, At the age of eight or nine years, she was made an orphan by the death of her mother, who perished in the cholera epidemic of 1833. She was soon after sent by her brother (the father being absent) to McDonough County, where she made her home with her sister, Mrs. James M. Campbell, until the time of her marriage. The Macomb Journal, in speaking of Judge Baker, pays the following just tribute to his memory: "He has always been a faithful and efficient official, and, though a strong Democrat, never carried partisanship into official life. He was a useful member of society. Industrious, sober, quiet and unobtrusive of demeanor, he was a pattern that young men may well follow. His life was full of years. As husband and father, neighbor and friend, he was a model. He leaves behind the record of a life well spent." | Baker, Jonathan Haskell (I14159)
