      A.M. Perkins, a well-known resident of Winsted, died yesterday morning, aged 80 years. He has been in failing health for several months. He was well known throughout the state and was at one time agent for the school fund. He went to Winsted in 1865. He was born in Becket, Mass. He married in 1838 Ruth S. Snow of Becket. He leaves four children. About twenty-five years ago he bought the old Greenwoods Fair property, situated in the center of Winsted and laid it out in building lots. The development of this tract has occupied considerable of his time in later years. He was a lover of fox hunting and no one was better posted the the sport. The funeral will be to-morrow at his late residence in Winsted at 2:30 p.m.
