  • Notes 
    • from "The Annapolis Spectator", 12 Jul 1923 (Annapolis Heritage Society)
      The death occurred about 3 am on Friday last, July 6, of Mrs Emma Jane Perkins, widow of the late Cyrus Perkins who died Oct 12, 1911, after an active and prominent life in Annapolis Royal as proprietor since 1896 of Hillsdale House and previous to that for 23 years of the Old Queen Hotel. Mr Perkins was the son of Wm B Perkins who died June 30, 1892, at the age of 80 and who in turn was the son of the Reverend Cyrus Peck Perkins, chaplain of the Garrison here and afterwards rector of St Luke?s Church in the early part of the last century, the family being thus one of the oldest in the history of Annapolis Royal. Mrs Perkins (just deceased) was a native of Wilmot, a daughter of the late William Turner, but had been almost a life-long resident of this town, a lady known far and wide for her record of kindly deeds and helpful acts, one who will not soon be forgotten in a much wider sphere than that of her intermediate neighborhood. She had been in failing health for some time and passed away at the age of 75, leaving 2 sons, Cyrus (electrical engineer with Stone & Webster, Boston) who was here for the funeral, and William R, present proprietor of the Hillsdale and 3 daughters, Mrs Carman O?Dell of this town; Mrs Charles Sweeney of Lunenburg, and Miss Charlotte at home; also 3 sisters and 2 brothers. Funeral services were held in St Luke's church, Reverend Archdeacon Vroom officiating, interment in the family lot in Woodlawn.
