Death has added to its ranks another of the most beautiful and accomplished young ladies who formerly adorned Rochester society, the sad event occurring in Indianapolis whither the family removed about four years ago. The victim is Miss Millie A. Perkins, the beloved daughter of Edward A. Perkins. The intelligence came by telegraph yesterday. Two years ago Miss Perkins was in this city apparently in the bloom of heath but consumption fastened its influence upon her and gradually wasted her life away. She was one of the most intelligent and refined young ladies in our midst and had a large circle of admiring friends. She graduated at the Free Academy but a short time before she removed to the West. Deceased is the niece of E.R. Huddleston and F.< McFarlin and granddaughter of Peter Hiddleston.
