| 3753 | 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)

| 3756 | 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. Funeral services were on Saturday, Reverend H How officiating. | Perkins, Cyrus Alexander (I2612)

| 3765 | From "The Atlanta Constitution", 17 Dec 1890 (newspapers.com) Rev. W.A. Simmons, a venerable minister of the M.E. church, south, died suddenly at 1 o'clock yesterday at the residence of his friend, Mr. George A. Webster, on Hood street, in this city. He had been suffering from an attack of indigestion since Sunday morning, but was not considered by his physician as seriously sick. Lying down at noon for a quiet rest he never waked again. Mr. Simmons was just sixty-seven years of age, and had been a minister for more than forty years. Shortly after his graduation from Emory college he entered the traveling connection of this church, and has filled many important and responsible places. In the early days of California, he and his older brother Rev. Jack C. Simmons, volunteered for missionary service in that distant and difficult field, and did much in laying the foundation of protestant Christianity on the the Pacific slope. The brother remains in California an aged and distinguished preacher. Mr. Simons returned to his native state accompanied by his accomplished wife, whom he met and married in San Francisco. Here in Georgia they have together blessed many homes and formed those enduring friendships which belong to the ministrations of a faithful pasture. Thousands there are from the mountains to the seaboard who will read these lines with sadness because of the personal love they bear to the sainted dead, and thousands more who were led to the cross by him have already greeted him in the “land of blessedness.” Mr. Simons was not what is generally considered a great preacher. He was perhaps what is better, a useful, fervent, thoughtful expounder of the word of life. He gave his whole heart and life to the ministry, and was full of spirit. His manner was pleasant and impressive. He was by every token the embodiment of the “man of God.” Finding his strength somewhat abating he received from his conference a few years ago a place on the role of the veterans among the superannuated, but his zeal led to much voluntary service among the churches in various parts of the state. Two years ago he was endeared to the congregation of Trinity church while supplying the place of the absent pastor. In the fall of 1889 he suffered the sorest bereavement of his life in the loss of his loved wife. He now joins her in the land where “no death shall enter.” A pure, true soldier of the cross his lay down his arms and passes over “to rest under the shade of the trees.” The funeral service will be conducted by several of his brethren of the north Georgia conference at Trinity church, on Thursday morning at 11:30 o’clock. Remains will be taken to Acworth for burial. | Simmons, Rev. William A (I1503)

| 3775 | from "The Baldwinsville Gazette and Farmers Journal", 8 Sept 1887 (fultonhistory.com) Houston, Texas, July 15, 1887 DEAR SIR:-I have your favor of the ll th inst, in whioh you say, "We are going to erect a monument on the village square, and we are going to put on the names of the soldiers who were in the wars as described in the circular." There was no circular accompanying and therefore I am not informed as to which wars were included in the inquiry; but presume that the main wars with foreign countries, and especially with England, were intended. My father, Asa Baker, served during the war of 1812, three years, and at the close was. a captain. I have among my papers his commission as 1st lieutenant in Capt. Morrell's company of 31st Regiment U. 8. infantry. He used to tell me that he was in the battle of Plattsburgh, and in several hotter places than that in Canada, where his company was engaged several times in shirmishing, that resulted in hand to hand fights. If the men of 1812 are to be remembered on your monument, I will contribute a small sum towards its erection. It is fifty years the 8d day of this July since I left Baldwinsville to hunt my fortune. I suppose but few remain there now that I knew or ever knew me. To all who do, however, remember those days, I have a warm corner in my heart, and for the home of my birth and boyhood.

| 3776 | from "The Baldwinsville Gazette and Farmers' Journal", 4 July 1889 (fultonhistory.com) AT A RIPE OLD AGE Yesterday afternoon, at the ripe old age of 95 years, Mrs. Hannah Baker, surrounded by children and grandchildren an great grandchildren, passed from the busy scenes of a long and eventful life into the rest that lies beyond the grave. The joys and cares, the hopes and fears, the labors and loves, the wonderful activities of almost a century of time laid aside, the Christian mother takes up the thread of another and better existence, "unmeasured by the flight of years." That she has gone to a fitting reward will not be questioned by those who were familiar with the old time purity and nobleness of character, the Christian faith, the teuder affection and sterling worth of this grand old lady. She was the daughter of Judge Robinson, of Philadelphia, and was born August 4, 1812. Mrs. Baker came to Houston as far back as as 1853, from Baldwinsville, N.Y., having therefore been far over the duration of a generation a resident of that city. Her children, all well-known residents of Houston, who survive her, are Hon. W.E. Baker, Mrs. T. M. Bagley, Mrs. H.D. Taylor. Mrs. A. A. Szabe and Mrs. Julia Clark. Eleven great grandchildren survive the deceased. Only last Sunday was buried the next youngest of her great grandchildren. How keenly all these living representatives mourn the loss of this noble old mother and grandmother, whom they venerated as they loved, only those know who have been called upon to pass through a similar affliction. The strength of will and Christian zeal and physical activity that were Mrs. Baker's distinguishing characteristics in life, were strikingly manifested but a short time since when she insisted on walking some twenty blocks to church. The funeral will occur this afternoon from the residence of Mrs. T.M. Bagley, of Smith street. Mrs. Baker will be interred in Glenwood beside the remains of her son George. It is given to but few in these times to crown such usefulness with such length of days. The children who survive her are all so many living testimonies to the excellence of her character and teachings. - Houston Texas Post, June 25 Major Baker built the house now occupied by Dr. W. W. Perkins, on West Oneida street, and with his estimable wife are remembered by many of our old residents. | Robinson, Hannah (I1659)

The next year he removed to Brimfield, Ill., where he found a small Baptist church, to which, to its great joy, he immediately joined himself, though assured that such an alliance would not be favorable to business. In 1860 he removed to Peoria, and became a member of the First church there, and continues one of its main supporters. Though not a man of fluent speech, he has always been regular in his attendance upon church appointments, and has ever been liberal in his contributions. He has also paid considerable sums to Christian education, in which cause his interest is intelligent and constant. He is well known in the State as a successful business man, a firm Baptist, an uncompromising friend of temperance. | Day, Charles Baker (I1521)

Removing to Bromfield, Ill., in 1852, he was there converted and baptized; but in 1854 his residence having been changed to Peoria, he became a member of the First church there, Rev. H.G Weston being the pastor. Although as a member of the firm of Day Brothers he has found the claims of business pressing, he has always found time to give needed attention to higher concerns. As a friend and leader of the young people in the church, as a free and cheerful participant in prayer and social meetings, as an occasional occupant of the pulpit, as a lay preacher, and as an ardent friend of the temperance cause, alike in private and in official positions, Larkin B. Day is held in high appreciation by the citizens of Peoria and throughout the State. He is at present (1880) a member of the city council | Day, Larkin B (I1524)

| 3792 | from "The Bedford Free Press", 4 Jul 1901 (posted on findagrave.com) Death By Lightning Stroke Robert M. Woods Is Instantly Killed. During the Electrical and Rain Storm Monday Afternoon, a Life Was Snuffed Out as a Candle Light. The record-breaking weather of the past few days was followed by one of the severest storms that we have ever had. About six o?clock Monday evening, the wind, which had been swinging from the south and west, veered around to the north and east, and for a few minutes east Main Street presented the appearance of a Kansas sandstorm. Clouds of dust were swiftly born along, enveloping everything in their path. Lightning flashes cut through the gloom and added to the excitement. During one of the heaviest crashes the angel of death entered the home of R. M. woods west of town and took away the father and husband. Mr. Woods had been mowing in the field, in company with Joe Huss [?], and having just come to the house, was standing by a trough watering his team when the crash came. Mrs. Woods, who is a daughter of Wm. Fox, heard the crash and running to the door, looked out to where the lightning struck. The watering-trough was about 6 feet from the house and in full view of the door. The first thing that met Mrs. Woods? gaze was one of the horses struggling on the ground, and running down towards the trough saw her husband lying on the ground. He was perfectly still, and seemed not to have moved a muscle. His hat was torn, as was also his clothing and shoes, and on the right side of his head was an abrasion showing where the electricity had entered his body. It seemed to have passed down his right side, as his watch, which he carried in a small watch-pocket in his pants showed signs of having encountered the shock. Along one side of the crystal was a raised place where the glass had been melted, and on the edge of the case the silver had been melted and run together. Dr. Archer, of this place, was called and drove at once to the home of the deceased, which is but three miles west of town, but his trip was of no avail, as Mr. Woods had been killed instantly. The accident was as peculiar as it was terrible, and in its sudden agitation snuffed out the candle of life, depriving a happy home of a loving father and husband. Mr. R. [obert] M. [orton] Woods was born April 22, 1863, being 38 years old at the time of his death. He leaves a wife and three children---two girls and one boy. The oldest girl is around twelve, the second four, and the boy two. Deceased was a member of the Baptist church and was a conscientious Christian, as well as a straightforward, honorable citizen. The community in which he lived deeply mourns his death, and the bereaved ones have the heartfelt sympathy of all. The funeral services were held at the Baptist church Wednesday morning 10 o?clock, conducted by Rev. D. W. Griffith. Interment took place at Fairview Cemetery. Mr. Wood[s] was insured in the Des Moines Life Insurance Company for $1000, which amount will be paid to Mrs. Wood[s]. | Woods, Robert Morton (I18319)
