Ionia County News, 2 Dec 1927

Old Resident of Ionia Is Buried Here on Thursday

A.D. Perkins Had Been In City 39 Years; Had Wide Circle of Acquaintances

Funeral services were held Thursday afternoon for Adelbert D. Perkins, 71, who 
died Tuesday at his home, 217 Pleasant street, after an illness of less than a 
month.

Mr. Perkins had been a resident of this city for 39 years, having come here 
from St. Johns in 1888, after his marriage to Addie M. Bessley, who survives 
him.

From the time of his early boyhood Mr. Perkins had depended largely upon his 
own resources.  At eleven years of age he was thrown upon his own by the Civil 
war conditions and from that time on had made his own way, aided in his later 
years by his wife, who labored at his side.

He was well known and widely liked in Ionia and had a wide circle of friends 
and acquaintances.  He was a member of the B.P.O.E. here and was popular with 
the other members of the lodge.
