. HENRY MARTYN PERRIN.-Hon. Henry Martyn Perrin, senior member of the old and reliable law and real estate firm of Perrin & Baldwin, and one of the best known and useful men of Clinton county, died at his residence in the north part of the village of St. Johns, at 10:10 o'clock Tuesday night, January 7, 1896, from catarrh of the stomach and bowels and nervous prostration, in his sixty-seventh year. His failing health dates from the time of the railroad disaster south of Rochester, N. -Y., August 10, 1889, in which his daughter Ella. was killed, and he himself was more or less shocked and injured. Since that sad event, while he has been able to be about and attended to his various business cares the principal part of the time, he has shown signs of failing health and wasting away. Mr. Perrin was a typical representative of the old school, quiet, firm, reserved and dignified, but with one of the most kind, considerate natures that could be found. He had been identified with the financial interests in Clinton county for nearly forty years, and his friends are legion. His thoughtful, warm hearted deeds will be remembered by many of the old settlers and early pioneers who are indebted to him for repeated courtesies and the oft extended hand of help in times, when the way looked dark. His counsel was not only valuable from; business standpoint, but he sent many a man from his office with a resolve to conquer or die after one of his firm, determined and always sincere bits of advice. Conscientious in the extreme he was the very embodiment of honesty and inspired everyone with confidence in all that he said and did. Nor was this confidence even for a moment ever subjected to the slightest doubt. Few men have ever lived who so thoroughly enjoyed the entire esteem of every one with whom they came in contact, as Henry M. Perrin. He was public spirited and St. Johns is in no small way indebted to his generosity. He was born at Berlin, Washington county. Vermont, June 23, 1829, and remained on his fathers's farm until he reached the age of seventeen years, when he entered Thleford, Vt., academy, where he graduated, and he afterward attended Dartmouth College and graduated with honors. During the time he attended Thleford academy he was fitting himself for Dartmouth and had mastered the freshman year, passing an examination and entering the sophomore classes. Strange as it may appear, this was all accomplished unknown to his room mate. He afterward studied law at the Albany law- school, and then read law in the office of Judge Amory Kinney, at Terre Haute, Ind. He moved to Detroit in 1855, where he resided two years. In the fall of 1857 he caime to St. Johns, where he has since resided. In 1860 le was elected judge of probate and served a four year term, after which he was elected State senator. He had held various positions; been town clerk, supervisor, village president, councilman and was often asked to take public positions which he declined. He was a Republican in politics, although he was a believer in free trade and very conservative in his views. He was married to Mary Ackley in 1862, and two children were born to them, Ella E. and Mrs. Dr. Palmer. Besides these he leaves four brothers, J. Newton Perrin, of Berlin, Vt.; George K. Perrin, of Indianapolis, Ind.; Wm.. Perrin, of Nashua, Iowa, and Porter K. Perrin, of St. Johns. He was the seventh of eleven children.
