For years Mr. Perkins was a very useful man in his native town, and the high estimation in which he was held by them is shown by the frequency with which he was chosen to important offices in the gift of his townsmen ; such as parish elerk, committee on parish affairs, selectman, overseer of the poor, representative to the General Court, member of the constitutional convention, senator from Plymouth County, and for a number of years was secretary of the Plymouth County Agricultural Society. Probably few men have settled more estates than Mr. P., and many a widow and orphan has reason to hold his name in lasting remembrance for his gratuitous services in their behalf. The prudence and fidelity with which he discharged his various duties, together with his fine social qualities, will cause his memory to be cherished with respectful regard by a large eirclo of friends.
