• Notes

  From "The Descendents of Edward Perkins of New Haven, Conn" CYRUS ALEXANDER, born 1838, married Emma J., daughter of William Turner of Wilmot, N. S. The children of Cyrus Alexander and Emma (Turner) Perkins were: MARY ELIZABETH ELICIA, born Sept. 20, 1869; ANNIE ROSINA, born Aug. 8, 1872; CHARLOTTE ISABEL, born March 11, 1878; CYRUS ALEXANDER, born June 11, 1880; WILLIAM RUTHERFORD, born Feb. 5, 1882. 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.
