Discussion

Franklin Perkins, as he was known, made his way from Indiana to western Missouri. Although the exact timing is not known, he was certainly there by the time he was 23, since he married in 1878 in St. Joseph. Apparently, the family briefly traveled to Grand Rapids, Michigan, since son Ben was born there (per census entries and his own death certificate), but by 1880 they were once again in St. Joseph, based on the 1880 census. He died a month after his last child, Emma, was born, on September 20, 1888. The cause is not known. He was a house painter.
