ESSEX COUNTY'S OLDEST ATTORNEy DEAD
Milo C. Perry Dies Suddenly At His Elizabethtown Home Friday Evening
Milo Calkin Perry, who served as District Attornty of Essex County fix
successive years, from January 1, 1898. to December 31, 1903, and who for several
years past enjoyed the distincton of being the oldest practicing lawyer
in this county, died suddenly at his home in Elizabethtown village last Friday
evening just after attending to his furnace for the night, being in the 79th year of his age.
Mi!o Calkin Perry was named after Milo Calkin, a son of Calvin Calkin
and Kaziah Kellogg, his wife. Calvin Calkin was a native of Elizabethtown
and served as U. S. Consul to the Sandwich Island under President Polk way back in the 40s.
Deceased was a son of the late Abijah Perry and Eliza Kellogg, his wife,
the latter being a cousin of Milo Calkin after who she named her son. Born on
the plain in Elizabethtown village October 16, 1844, Milor C. Perry came of
eminently patriotic ancestry, bis grandfather, Nathan Perry having served at
the Battle of Plattsburgh and his greadgrandfather, Captain Josiah Brown,
having fired the final shot before the Colonists retreat from Bunker Hill and
led a Company of New Hampshire Militia to reinforce the Continental
army at Ticonderoga in 1777. Milo C. Perry attended such schools
as his native town afforded in the days of his boyhood. Presumably the fact
that his mother's brother, Congressman Orlando Kellogg, who was as close
to President Lincoln as any man in the county, was a lawyer had something
to do with Milo C. Perry studying law. At any rate he studied Jaw, being admitted
to practice in 1868. He was for a time associated with
the late Irad K. Dudley in practice. He was also for years a law partner
of the late Judge Augustus C. Hand and his son the late Richard L. Hand.
Some idea of the length of Milo C. Perry's public service may be gained
from the following brief summary of the following facts:
David Judd was serving as Justice of the Peace at the time of his death
M'ay 2, 1868, Milo C. Perry,succeeding at once and continuing to serve as a
justice most if not all the time until his election as Supervisor in 1877. He
also served as Under Seriff of Essex county while his father was Sheriff
and '70. He served six successive years as Supervisor of Elizabethtown,
1877 to 1882, inclusive. It was during the year 1882 that the first
iron bridge was erected in Central Essex 0%unty, the one spanning the
Boquet River at what was long known as the Fisher bridge. In the spring of
Mr. Perry was again elected Supervisor and served continuously until
the spring of 1898, nine successive years, some of the time as Chairman of
the Board. Mr. Perry served 15 years as Supervisor of Elizabethtown, longer than
any other man ever served in county befitting that capacity. As a supervisor he was
recognized as level-headed and conservative by such colleagues as the
late Colonel William E. Calkin, the late N. C. Boynton, the late James W.
Steele, the late Captain James H. Pierce, the late Edmund S. Higby, the
late Julius C. Brevort, C. T. Leland Fred C. Mihill, Albert W. Shields and
Edward W. Hoskins.
As District Attorney of Essex County for six years he proved able and
careful, keeping bills down to the minimum. By peaceful but powerful instrumentalities,
making and keeping friends by being honest and faithful, he occupied
a position of leadership in local Republican politics for about 40 years. In all
human probability he acted as Chairman
any other man of his time, his sense of fairness and parlimentary knowledge
peculiarly fitting him to preside at Dr. A. G. Senecal, who has held the
such meetings with general satisfaction I office si n c e the beginning of the* first
He loved fishing and camp life, being one of the last to survive of those
who so enjoyed "Camping Finney" on the shore of New Pond back in the
latter 70s and early 80s
He stood for law enforcement andwas a companionable man. No boy
ever learned anything bad from Milo C. Perry.
His wife, whom he married in 1873, nearly 50 years ago and who survives
him, was Miss Sarah Phair in her maiden days
He is also survived by two brothers, and two sisters.
Funeral services were held at his home, Monday afternoon Rev. H. H. Pittman officiating.
The rermains were temporarily placed in the Kellogg memorial vault.
Among those who attended the funeral from a distance were Mr. and Mrs.
Mason H. Partridge of New York city, Mr. and Mrs. Harry C. Holden of Mamaroneck, NY
And Mr and Mrs. George A. Perry of Hazelton
