The common si hand sishared Massachusetts gave him gold clurational advantages. He attended the common a land- quite regularly for several yours, and low and the hist an senikms. Aber he had become of age he was employed to take charge of a farm at Fast Withler, Connecticut, a position which he rousund for aseed voir -.
In 18:15 he gratified a desire, which for - que tume luo had entertained, of weing the great Western country, Comning først lo Iowa City hi might simme property there. For the text two years he was Beting 94 9200 502 0 5, 1 haf- fee, a sewing-silk manufacturer of Manshell, Comeaient, a psoition which gave him excellent opportunities for traveling. In to- time for entered land near Fort Dodge and Weleter City, which aftersant he despuset of to advan- , at the age of things are. Though swing, he had deve lighed remarkable dass- Lage on taking up his residence in Tirola. He traveled einsels over the year after his coming, he revisited la util bom in the East. Int -ihre then has remained altogether in the West. In Indf, he made arrang ment with Mr. George W Brown, at tialesbury, to assist in autewinning has won-planter, which at that time had just been perleted and was hint little hummus a sept in the immediate neighborhood. In this capacity he traveled through Illinois, and was very successful in intraueine the planter to the farmer av irion- sortons of the State. He remained with Mr Brown for seven seas, with headquarters first at Galesburg, then at Enastur, and afterward at thamputign.
After traveling over almost the entire State, with excellent opportunities of judging of the advantages of each section, Mr. Perkins found the new I ouals of Douglas to after the best advantages to settlers in the way of rich suit and cheap lund. In Istil ke Ight two hundred anel fosty acres of land, a mile west of Tu-cola, at seventeen dollars au nete There were no improvements un the property at the time. Mr Perkins continue with M.

Ite is still engaged in the agricultural imple- ment business, and well- annually a large amount ut farming in chivery through- out Douglas County. He has the confidence of the citizens in every Aspect, and is widely known throughout the county as a fair and square heup- taan. The properity and growth of Douglas County, and the rapid -trick It ham made in the way of improvements since the date of Mir Perkins rotting to the Counts, fully justified his choice of the locality as a phare of seriemint. Its improved farms now rank with those of any section of Ne wer pul Hourich- ing towns occupy the sites of the unpretenling villages in existeme at the dare of the organization ot the County.
