He was born Aug. 3, 1894, at Mapleton, Utah, the son of John S. and Evalyn Maud 
Matson Perry.  The family moved to Mt. Glenn, Ore., in 1900 where they were 
engaged in farming.  He attended school at Island City, Mt. Glenn and La 
Grande.  

The family moved to Rupert, Idaho in1915 where they were once again engaged in 
farming.  

On April 12, 1917, he volunteered and served in World War 1.  After his 
discharge, he joined the National Guard in which he served for a number of 
years.  

In 1926, he returned to La Grande and worked in several different lines of work 
before taking an ICS course in engineering.  He then went to work for the 
Oregon State Highway District as an engineer and helped survey roads throughout 
Oregon.

It was while surveying in Ontario, Vale and Harper area that he met Jennie 
Lucille Hinkle, they were later married Dec. 31, 1932, in Nyssa.  Their 
marriage was later solemnized in the Idaho Falls Church of Jesus Christ of 
Latter-day Saints Temple July 19, 1957.

After his retirement from the Oregon State Highway District in 1947, the 
Perry’s bought a ranch on the Malheur River just above Harper. Their ranch 
became a showplace as they worked together on their labor of love, manicuring 
their cattle ranch.  Health problems required them to sell the ranch in 1975 
when they moved to Vale, where he had since resided.  

He was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he served a 
stake mission, served as secretary in the young men’s Mutual program, second
