He leaves a wife, four sons and four daughters to survive him: M.F. Peryman; Mrs. Bertie Little, Atlanta, GA; D.D. Perryman, R.A. Perryman and R.J. Perryman composing the firm of Perryman Bros., in Heflin, Ala; Misses Hattie and Ella Perryman who live with their parents here. The deceased was the oldest Mason in Alabama, having been initiated 57 years ago. He was a member of the Baptist Church. His 71 years of residence in Alabama, principally in Randolph County, because of his love for his fellow man has ripened many ties of friendship. He was generous, charitable, always in sympathy with the distressed; this is evidenced by the fact that he has raised and educated as many fatherless and motherless children of others as he has of his own. Those who came in closer contact with him socially as heart to heart and friend to friend have learned to recognize the nobility of his character. His loved ones do and should mourn for him departed, but what to them, is sorrow and sadness to him his rest, peace and the beginning of an eternal life. Therefore through the gloom of their sadness they may see for him the sunshine of eternal joy and bliss. A friend. ____ Geo. N.

Perryman, are taken from the three leading newspapers of Atlanta and we glady surrender space for their reproduction: Frank M. Perryman and Jeptha Perryman of Atlanta returned to the city yesterday from Heflin, Ala., where they attended the funeral services of their father, David Augustus Perryman. Mr. Perryman'd death was sudden and unexpected. Though in his eightieth year, Mr. Perryman appeared hale and hearty and to those with whom he mingled daily and end of life for him had not been anticipated, so pleasant, genial and ever happy was his everyday life. A month before he died Mr. Perryman celebrated his eightieth birthday, and from dawn to bedtime he was apparently the youngest member of the immese fathering at his home. A man of broad and extensive philanthropic ideas, it will be many years before the good work he has accomplished in Georgia can be forgotten. Believing in education, he became one of the most pronounced educational factors in the state of his adoption. He opened his purse to pay for the building and dedication of a Primitive Baptist church in Randolph County, keeping from both sides the information of his dual act. Mr. Perryman could have shown a family tree of which any American might be proud. A lineal descendant of De Jarnette and General Lovell of Revolutionary times, was Mr. Perryman himself, while his wife's lineage can be traced back to the George Washington family through the Smiths. Mr. Perryman left besides his wife, eight children, four sons and four daughters. Four of the children have made Atlanta their home, while four have never left their parental abode. In Atlanta there are Frank M. Perryman and Jeptha Perryman and Mrs. James R. Little and Miss Hattie Perryman. Augustus Perryman and David Perryman and Mrs. J.F. Morgan and Miss Ella Perryman are still residents of Heflin, the place wherein is the old family home. Few Georgians are more widely known or more generally admired than are Frank Perryman and Jeptha Perryman, both loyal, energetic and successful Atlantans. The Constitution. --------------- Word has been received in Atlanta of the death of David Augustus Perryman, formerly of Wedowee, Randolph County, who at the ripe age of 80 years died early Thursday evening at his home in Heflin, Ala. Mr. Perryman was a native Georgian but in early life removed to Alabama where in time he became one of the most influential and prominent citizens of the state. He married Miss Elizabeth Kitchens of Randolph Co. Ala., who is a descendant of General Washington. Besides his wife he is survived by eight children... For years Mr. Perryman was prominently known in every walk of life. He served with distinction as superintendant of education but was especially known for his philanthropic motives. His home was always regarded as refuge for the motherless and fatherless, he having cared and educated seventeen orphans. On May 8th, last, Mr. Perryman celebrated his 80th birthday at his home in Heflin. All of the children and grandchildren were present and a happier gathering was never seen. The Journal. -------- David Augustus Perryman, an old and highly respected citizen is dead at his home in Heflin, Cleburne county, Alabama, in his eightieth year of age. He was a lineal descendant of the De Janette and Lovell families of revolutionary fame. He was a philanthropic gentleman, whose life was devoted to good works, particularly in church and educational lines....He was a valued member of the Primitive Baptist church which he built with his own funds at Heflin. _________________ File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/al/cleburne/newspapers/gnw219newspape.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.org/alfiles/ File size: 14.4 Kb
