Death of Joseph C. Perrine
Joseph C. Perrine, born March 30, 1863, in Oregon, Illinois, died in a Montpelier hospital September 18.
Mr. Perrine, a well known and old time resident of Montpelier, was the youngest of 12 children, eight boys and four girls, born to Dr. and Mrs. John R. Perrine. He was the last survivor of his family.
When 17 he left the farm on which he was raised and started work as a lineman for a telegraph company in Omaha, later for the Union Pacific. He had lived in Montpelier for about 30 years, during most of which time he was employed as a crossing watchman, from which position he was retired four years ago.
Mrs. Lulu B. Rush of Lancaster, California, a niece, came for the services held in the Williams Mortuary chapel with Bishop B. E. Mumford presiding.
The services were held Saturday, when the opening song, “Sometime We’ll Understand,” was by a quartet composed of Mrs. Clyde Phelps, Mrs. Weston Wright, Frank M. Williams and Byron E. Mumford. The invocation was offered by George W. Warren and Bishop Mumford gave the sermon. The quartet sang, “Abide With Me,” and the benediction was given by Mr. Williams.
The body was taken to Salt Lake City Sunday for cremation, and the ashes brought back to Montpelier and placed in the family lot of William Ansell.
