Death of Frank Perkins
Frank Perkins, of the firm of Perkins & White, proprietors of the Palace Hotel,
in this place, died at 5 o’clock yesterday afternoon, after an illness of five
days.  The disease that carried him off was an aggravated case of typhoid
pneumonia.  He was taken sick on Thursday last, the day his partner left for the
East, on a visit to his old house in Kentucky.  He gradually grew worse and
Friday morning Dr. Dawson was called in.  He grew rapidly worse until Monday,
when he seemed to rally for a few hours, but soon grew worse and continued to
sink until death ensued.  Mr. Perkins was one of the foremost business men in
Reno and his loss will be sorely felt.  He was a genial, whole-souled-man, and
liberal to a fault.  He was a member of Reno Lodge, No. 19, I.O.O.F., and
Assistant Foreman of Washoe Engine Company, No. 2.  He was 35 years of age, born
and raised in California.  Al. White, his partner, was notified by telegraph and
will start for Reno immediately.  Up to a late hour last night no arrangements
had been made for the funeral.
