DR. PERKINS DEAD
Estimable Citizen Breathes Last at 8:30 a.m.
TWICE MAYOR OF CITY
Served in Two Wars and Upstanding All the Way
Funeral This Afternoon
At 8:30 o'clock yesterday morning at the family residence. 1008 Tenth Avenue., Dr. Louis J. Perkins, twice mayor of Lewiston and among the foremost practitioners in this state for many years, passed from this life, death is directly attributable to acute dilation of the heart which first seized Dr. Perkins on Tuesday, June 5. The fact that Dr. Perkins suffered from heart affection augmented his other physical ailment, paralysis, with which he was stricken on Sept. 26, 1922.
After this attack Dr. Perkins, while confined to his bed for some time, made great progress toward a partial restoration of his health, and for some time previous to being taken down with the illness that resulted in his death, he enjoyed an automobile trip to Moscow and Genesee, and stood the trip very well.
Funeral services for Dr. Perkins will be conducted this afternoon at 3:30 o'clock from the Methodist Episcopal church, in which he and his family worshipped. Rev. Mark Pike, pastor, assisted by Rev. D.J.W. Somerville, of the Episcopal church of the nativity, a friend of the deceased for many years, will conduct the services. The body will lie in state at the Vassar chapel this morning from 10 o'clock until 2:30 o'clock this afternoon. The services at the grave will be conducted by Nez Perce Lodge No. 10, A.F. & A.M.
The news of Dr. Perkins' death will not come as a surprise to his many friends, associated and acquaintances in this city and the entire surrounding country, for newspaper reports carried during the last few days preceding his death indicated that the end was near and that no hope was held out for recovery. His death will, however, create profound regret. His manly character, his kindly disposition, his willingness to assist every worthy cause, the pride and love he held for his country, his fond attachment to his family, and the honorableness he displayed in his duties as a public officer and as a private individual-all these cause lasting friendships to form, and the sorrow occasioned by his death will be widespread.
BORN IN IOWA, 1866
Louis J. Perkins was born at Utica, Iowa, March 12, 1866.
As a young man he graduated from the state normal school at Dexter, Iowa, and then entered upon his duties for his chosen profession--that of medicine.
He graduated with honors from the Keokuk Medical College, Keokuk, Iowa, and practiced for a short time in Des Moines.
In 1895 he and his family came west, locating near Pendleton, Ore., where he engaged in practicing medicine, and when the Spanish-American war broke out, he enlisted and spent one year, from 1900 to 1901, with the soldiery in the Philippine Islands.
He returned to Pendleton and remained there for a short time and then went to Washington, D.C., to be connected with the pension bureau.
From the capital city, he and his family came to Lewiston, this being in the fall of 1903, and continued here until the time of death.
Dr. Perkins answered the call to colors in the world war, despite the fact that he had passed the middle age of life, serving with the 80th and 88th divisions in France from August 1918, until July the following year. He rendered distinguished service to the government and when mustered out he held a captaincy in the army.
In all affairs of a civic nature, Dr. Perkins took an unselfish interest, and this occasioned his friends to nominate him for mayor of the city in 1911, at which time he was elected, serving until June 30, 1913. He was again nominated and elected to that office from the term extending from June 1915 to June 1917. While holding the highest elected office within the gift of the people of Lewiston. Dr. Perkins and those serving with him were confronted with many important affairs, vast improvements being underway at the time, and he quit office leaving behind an enviable record.
The deceased was a member of the Masonic Lodge of Lewiston, affiliating himself with that order on May 18, 1905, taking the Scottish Rite degree on Nov. 11, 1917. He was a member of the Lewiston Lodge of Elks, and the Odd Fellows, Woodmen of the World and Eagles lodges of the city; the Spanish American war veterans and the American Legion.
Dr. Perkins is survived by his widow, who was his constant companion during the months of illness, three sons, Dr. John Perkins of Sheridan, Wyo., Paul Perkins of Everett, Wash., and Ralph, the youngest, who resides at home; one daughter, Mrs. Bessie Dole, wife of Ira Dole, of this city; one brother, Frank Perkins of Utica, Iowa, a sister, Mrs. O. W. Rowe of Keokuk, and seven grandchildren.

=======================================
Captain Louis Jay Perkins was assigned to the 320th Field Hospital, of the 305th Sanitary Train, of the 80th Division. He sailed from France listing, as his wife, Mrs. Mamie Perkins, his family emergency point-of-contact.
The Field Hospital made its final journey home in mid-May 1919. After a 24-hour train ride, they reached Brest, France around 1 p.m. on May 13th and marched up a steep hill for six miles to Camp Pontanazen in the heat of the afternoon. Water was in great demand for about two hours. Many were quartered in square, pyramidal squad tents and received meals at a camp kitchen.
After six days in Brest, with constant physical inspections and equipment inspections, some of which were held at midnight, the men started on their last hike on French soil at 1 p.m., May 19, 1919. The six-mile hike down to the wharf was downhill all the way compared to the way they came up. At the dock, each name was called before boarding a lighter to travel to the ship Rotterdam. The next evening the ship sailed out of the Brest harbor. The ship stopped at Plymouth, England to pick up Elsie Janis and her mother. Elsie Janis entertained the troops with jokes and dancing.
On Memorial Day, the ship dropped anchor off Staten Island at 6 p.m. A tug decorated with red, white, and blue greet the ship. The next day the ship passed the Statue of Liberty. Docked at Pier 7, Hoboken, New Jersey, and once ashore were given refreshments by the welfare organization. Among the good things was apple pie. The welfare organization treated the soldiers well, a cup of hot chocolate, a piece of the pie, a bag of salted peanuts, some cakes on top of the mess cup, Hershey bars, candy, chewing gum, and sandwiches galore.
The troops proceeded to Jersey City by ferry and then too real passenger coaches to Camp Dix, New Jersey arriving in the mid-afternoon of May 31st. Everything was sterilized that had been issued in the Army using steam sterilizers. Leather shrunk to unbelievable portions, shoes would now be fit for a baby. Next came demobilization during the next few days as troops were divided into different local camps for discharge.
