August 25, 1870
Mrs. Paskell, who died so suddenly last week, came among us but two short years ago from Virginia; a stranger among strangers - and with the cares and labors which fell to her lot, she had few opportunities for social intercourse - but in that short time she had come to be known a a genuine, good woman, and loves as such, and such is the tribute gladly paid to her memory and he vitrues by all who knew her. What her religion was, whether it was an "unorthodox mush of charity, and love, and pity." or made up of the sterner stuff, which our preachers delight to call evangelical - we don't know and don't care, because it doesn't matter - it made a loving, charitable, true woman of her, such as we are all the better for having known and honored, and that is all that really concerns her or us.

Mr. Thomas Payne, a resident of Marshall county since 1850 and the oldest person in this section, while the elements were raging in all their fury on Saturday, was translated "to the evergreen shore". He was in his 97th year. The family were remarkably long lived, and his children, eight in number, who survive him, are well along in years, the youngest being upwards of 50 already.
Mr. Payne was a native of England, of Oswestry, county of Salop. There he married and there were all his children born. His six sons, like himself, were brought up to the vocation of brickmaking. In 1848, after taking passage of ship for this country, the ship was wrecked off the coast of Ireland, and though no lives were lost, Mr. Payne and others of the company, 20 in all, lost their freight. Mr. P.s loss amounting to about $1500.
They appeared in this region in the year 1850, and opened a brickyard on the Lombard place west of town, and subsequently located at the bluff, three miles west of town, where the deceased spent the residue of his days. The sons have since scattered. Edward has remained here, with whom his father has lived many years. John was a minister, and a speaker of force and power. He is in Kansas. Thomas resides at the great lumber city of Oshkosh, Wis. Richard is at Galva, George near Geneseo, and William in Iowa. A daughter resides in England and another at Wataga, Knox county.
Father Payne was an exceedingly modest, devout man; a Methodist in faith and life, and a warm, zealous Christian, a good neighbor, a friend of many virtues and highly esteemed. The funeral was held yesterday at noon, Rev. W. J. Minium officiating, the body being interred beside the wife who died 25 years ago, in Sugar Grove cemetery.

Mrs. Eliza Perley
March 26, 1874
At Polo, Ogle county, March 20, of congestion of the lungs, Eliza, aged 72, wife of Nathaniel Perley and mother of Hon. P. S. Perley of this city.
A son can only speak tenderly and lovingly of his mother, and the initals below stand for the homely name she gave her first son. One grief she never knew, to give a child up to death. Her children all survive to mourn her, though only half of them too were at her funeral. She was a good wife and mother, a Methodist of 40 years probation, not a nominal, but a real one and she loved their prayer meeting to her latest day. What is more, she was an honest, truthful, conscientious woman, striving to carry out in her everyday life teachings of him, who spake as never man spake and inside or outside any church that makes a Christian. In her later and happier and more thoughtful years, the brimstone somehow burned out of her belief and sinners, as some of her children, so dear to her are, we know. She looked to meet us at the glowing portal, when we shall step into the world of light. She looks to greet us with a kiss immortal, amid the angels shall glad our sight.
P.S. P.

The past few years he has resided at Polo with a daughter, Mrs. Carlos Herrick, who formerly was a resident of this place (Henry). Early in the summer he came to visit his son in Henry, where he remained until within a couple of weeks of his death. Father Perley was one of God's noblemen; while in the world he was devoted to the used and excellencies of life, did his part, in his own humble way, for the good of those about him, and at a ripe old age, was "gathered unto his fathers." Mr. and Mrs. Perley and his daughter Anna, were at the burial on Tuesday at Polo.
