Mrs. Perry second husband was John D. Perry. Six children was born to this marriage, four survives; Laura Perry, Lewis Perry, Richard E. Perry and Mrs. David (Jennie) R. Francis. From the first marriage to Elijah Pulliam, one daughter survives, Anna Pulliam.

Mrs. Eliza Jane Perry, the mother-in-law of ex-Gov. D. R. Francis died yesterday morning at her residence, 12 Vandeventer Place. She was but a few days short of her 80th birthday, and her death was probably due to old age. She was found in the morning, when members of the family went to waken her, in eternal slumber. Her death is mourned by a very large number of relatives. She was of sturdy Kentucky stock, and in every branch of the family there have been many children. She was herself the second of a family of sixteen, and was the mother of nine. Nearly all these preceded her to the other world, but there are a great many relatives in the state and in Kentucky who were near to her. She was the widow of John D. Perry, who died seven years ago, and was well known as the president of the old Exchange Bank, the builder and president of the Kansas Pacific Railroad and president of the Laclede National Bank for many years. Mrs. Perry's father, Talton Turner, came to Missouri in 1821, settling in Fayette, Howard County. He was a government surveyor and in the early days did considerable work in Missouri in laying out county lines. He worked under Gen. Green Clay, who was perhaps the first surveyor sent to the Louisiana Territory by the federal government after the Louisiana purchase.
Of the sixteen children of whom Mrs. Perry was one, four only survive her, two brothers, John and William Turner, residing in Howard County, Mo., where they are well-known citizens. A sister, Mrs. Eleanor Lewis, is the widow of William J. Lewis. Five of Mrs. Perry's children survive her. One of these, Miss Annie Pulliam, is the child of her first marriage with Elijah Pulliam in 1839. Four other children are the result of a second marriage with John D. Perry in 1851. These are Mrs. D. R. Francis, Miss Laura Perry, Mr. Lewis Perry, local treasurer of the American Cotton Company, and Mr. Richard E. Perry, vice president of the Neustadt-Perry Company.
Mrs. Perry had lived in St. Louis since 1854, and had been away from the city for any length of time on only one occasion, when she went to Europe.
The household at Vandeventer Place, where she died, consists of Miss Mary E. Perry, Miss Anna Pulliam, Miss Laura Perry, Mr. Lewis Perry, and Miss Eliza Wherry a granddaughter of the deceased. Arrangement for the funeral have not been made beyond the decision to have the service form the family residence Sunday.
