Word was received in Portland Tuesday of the death at Oklahoma City of Mrs. Stella Perrigo, 86, a former well known resident of this village.

The body will be accompanied to Portland by her son, John W. Perrigo, and funeral services held from the Congregational church this afternoon.

Mrs. Perrigo was the widow of the late Isaac S. Perrigo, who for many years was identified with Portland's business activities, having been a member of the firm of Hinman & Perrigo which conducted a wagon shop on the site now
occupied by the Wheeler jewelry store and the building recently vacated by Lehman's clothing store, later moving to quarters now occupied by E. L. Goodwin's monument works on Maple street.(In 2014 the location of the Portland Civic Players Playhouse).

During her younger days and before her marriage to Mr. Perrigo, Mrs. Perrigo taught school here, many of the town's older residents having taken their first lesson in the rudiments of the three R's under her tutelage.

Besides the son who will accompany the body to Portland, she is survived by another son, Charles, who also resides in the west. A son, Glenn, died a number of years ago.
