F.M. PERRYMAN DIED FEB. 1

The death of Mr. Frank M. Perryman on the evening of February 1st marked the 
passing of one whose personality was forceful by reason both of its make-up 
and of its extensively helpful influence.

It has been aptly said of him that he was a gentleman of the Old South. His 
social charm and geniality coupled with his capacity for understanding and 
sharing sorrows and joys of others drew to him countless friends and made 
him beloved and respected by entire families in many places throughout the 
southeastern states. Not only did he make friends but he kept them as 
friends to the last. The latter years of his life, by necessity of ill 
health, were spent in quiet retirement, but he was often visited by 
associates of former years as well as those of more recent times, and his 
concern for their welfare never failed.

Mr. Perryman was born in Randolph county, Ala. and spent the years of his 
youth there and at Bowdon College in Georiga. Later he moved to Atlanta 
where he lived for more than 50 years. During that time he was associated 
with Moore & Marsh Company, later Inman Smith & Company of which he was a 
junior partner until the company dissolved about 20 years ago. For a number 
of years thereafter he represented several large firms of shoe manufacturers 
of Boston and St. Louis and retired from participation in commercial 
enterprise only when ill health made further activity impossible. He was a 
member of the Masonic Lodge and of the Second Baptist church of Atlanta.

Surviving are four sisters, Mrs. John F. Morgan of Heflin; Mrs. James R. 
Little of Atlanta; Misses Hattie and Ella Perryman of Heflin, and two 
brothers, R.A. Perryman of Atlanta and D.D. Perryman of Heflin.

Funeral services were held at the home on Monday morning February 3rd, and 
interment made the same day at West View Cemetery in Atlanta. At the time of 
his death he was in his seventy-seventh year, and was residing at the family 
home in Heflin. Although he had been in declining health for several years, 
his sudden death was a great shock even to those most closely associated 
with him, for his sympathetic interest in people were a part of his charm to 
the moment of his passing.

Relatives and friends mourn his death but the force of his personality goes 
on in ever widening circles of loving remembrance and helpful influence.
