      James Rodney Perkins was born in Ontario, Canada, Jan. 4, 1850, and died at his home here May 26 at the age of 91 years. His childhood years were spent in New York State and Augusta, Wis., where he grew to manhood and became interested in the lumbering industry. July 4, 1875, he was married to Miss Mary Hall of Sparta. They spent the first 15 years of their married life at Augusta and Sterling, coming to Stanley in 1890, when Mr. Perkins took the position as head sawyer in the big mill when it began operations here. This work he continued until the end of the milling industry here. Mr. and Mrs. Perkins were the parents of seven children of whom two sons, Harry of Duluth, and Willard of Knox, Pa., together with the mother survived the husband and father. The funeral was held Wednesday at 2 p.m. from the Plombon funeral home with the Rev. Wallace Robertson, pastor of the Chippewa Falls Presbyterian church, officiating. Burial took place in Oak Hill cemetery.
