Another old citizen of Linn county has paid the last debt of nature in the person of W. B. Perry, who died at his residence on Mine Creek, last Tuesday morning of dyspepsia of the bowels. Mr. Perry settled on his present farm in 1854 since which time he has been identified with every interest for the welfare of the county, and was beloved by everyone with whom he was acquainted for his sterling, upright, and conscientious qualities. His remains were interred on Wednesday at 2 o’clock in the burial place on his farm and were attended by an immense gathering of his old friends and neighbors.
