• Notes

  from "The Boston Herald", 8 Feb 1933 (genealogybank.com) Funeral services for Henry Grover Perkins, lawyer and trustee who died yesterday, will be held at his lat home, 82 Monmouth street, Brookline, tomorrow at 2 P.M. Mr. Perkins was a director of the New England Hospital for Women and Children and president of the Laymen's League of the Second Church in Boston. He was born in Fitzwilliam, N.H., 67 years ago, the son of Francis W., and Laura (Simmons) Perkins. He attended Boston Latin school and was graduated from Harvard College in 1887. After studying law he started practice in Boston, and soon became affiliated with real estate interest, later serving as trustee of estates. His office was at 45 Milk street. He leaves a widow, Maria Tupper Perkins, a son, Francis W. Perkins of Cambridge, a daughter, Mrs. Palmer C. Putnam of New York, a half-brother three sisters, and his mother, Mrs. George W. Estabrook of Brookline. from "Harvard College Class of 1887 secretary's report", 1907 (googlebooks.com) HENRY GROVER PERKINS, Residence, 61 Monmouth St., Brookline, Mass. Business address, Old South Building, Boston, Mass. Haven been engaged in the real estate business on my own account for about three years, making a specialty of property in the down-town district of Boston. You have the name of my daughter, Maria Therese Perkins, in the last report. You may add the name of my only son, Francis William Perkins, born in Brookline, Mass., Jan. 8, 1904. Am a member of the Boston Athletic Association, and the Longwood Club of Brookline. Have recently become a member of the summer colony of Cape Cod by buying a little cottage at Osterville, Mass., where automobilists of '87, after their 90 mile ride, may find something to their advantage during July and August of any year. I have not succeeded in getting farther from Boston than Currituck Sound, North Carolina, where the wild ducks have called me occasionally. You naturally do not expect anything exciting from a "middle aged" person engaged in the laudable task of supporting his family; so we will say "No news is good news" and let it go at that.
