Joshua Perkins
We
did not learn in time for publications last week of the death of Joshua Perkins,
who was recently buried in Kent Cemetery. He was another of the old
pioneers gone to his reward.
A man of Southern extraction who at the
outbreak of the Civil War espoused the Union Cause, enlisted in the Union Army
and served to the end of the war.
He came to Nebraska at an early date
and homesteaded down about Boelus, later moved to Round Valley, Custer
County. About 1900 he again removed to Loup County over north of
Taylor where he resided until his death.
