Mrs. Louise Perryman one of the witnesses for Robert Powell in the hearing for 
the settlement of the Major Powell estate, is dead at Perry, Oklahoma. Mrs. 
Perryman was the mother of Mrs. Calori and the grandmother of Robert Powell, 
who claimed a share in the estate of Major Powell, alleging that Major Powell 
was his father. Major Powell was injured in a runaway last summer from the 
effects of which he died a few days later, leaving an estate valued at many 
thousands of dollars. Soon after the death steps were taken to settle the 
estate in the probate court, and a few days later Robert Powell, who was then 
living with his mother at El Dorado, filed a claim for a share of the estate as 
a son of Major Powell. His claim was heard by Probate Judge Wilson last fall, 
but its decision has not been rendered, but it is understood that negotiations 
are now pending looking to a complete and amicable settlement of the matter 
outside the courts. Mrs. Louise Perryman was one of the strongest witnesses for 
the plaintiff in this action. She was present at the birth of the child and had 
also had something to do with the alleged negotiations with Major Powell 
regarding the care of this child and her testimony was regarded as of the 
utmost importance. It is alleged that Major Powell supported and educated 
Robert Powell, who is now in the St. John’s Military academy in Salina. Mrs. 
Perryman claimed to have a hand in the negotiations with Major Powell 
concerning this boy, regarding his support and that of his mother and it was 
claimed that her evidence would establish the young man’s claims to a share in 
the estate.
