OBITUARY
Mr. Robert Perry was born in Ireland about thirty miles west of Londonderry, November 10, 1824. He died at the home of his son James, two miles west of Waukomis, July 10, 1903, having come from Illinois on the week previous.
He came to America in 1885, settling near Lincoln, Ill. In 1856 he married Ela Shanklin who survives him. Two sons of this family preceded their father and three sons and three daughters survive him. Mr. Perry was for many years a deacon in the Irish Presbyterian church. The funeral was the largest ever held in Waukomis, and was conducted by Rev. Shelden of the Congregational Church, who presented from the text "Let me die the death of the righteous and let my last end be like his." A text entirely appropriate to the deceased.
