He served during the war in the twenty-sixth Texas Calvary, commanded by DeBray, and by gallantry won a Captain's commission. He brought away from the army, after the surrender, his broadsword, spurs, camp-knife, and the colors of his regiment, all of which were in sight and lent interest to the funeral today. After the stroke of paralysis yesterday, he never recovered.
The last few murmurings that escaped his lips related to incidents of the war in which he participated. His walls were hung with pictures of Generals Lee, Stuart Jackson, Beauregard and other Southern commanders. All his surroundings were indicative of the bent of his mind, which was military and Southern to a high degree.
He was buried near the Confederate monument, Rev. Frank Page, the chaplain of the Pat Cleburne Camp, officiating, and his grave was decorated by his comrades of the group and the veterans of the blue, by whom he was highly esteemed."³

Another old settler gone. Death of Mrs. T.F. Perkins, in her Seventy-second year. Mrs. Theresa Perkins, wife of T.F. Perkins, died at their home in Featherstone, Monday afternoon, October 31st, at four o'clock and twenty minutes, aged seventy-two years, two months and seventeen days. The disease was heart trouble and she passed away as quietly and gently as falleth to sleep the innocent babe on its mother's breast.
Miss Theresa Ellsworth was born in Franklin county, Maine, August 14th, 1809, and was married to T.F. Perkins, who was born in the same county, December 30, 1804, on September 20th, 1829, and they moved to this county in 1861; their married life having stretched over more than half a century. Besides her husband, she leaves five children, men and women well known and highly respected throughout this county, Jonathan R., Charles E., Timothy E., Hartson E. and Abbie S., (Mrs. Merritt Trippe) to cherish her fond memory. Though dead she still lives in the future of her children and grandchildren, and let no one say that such a life as hers, full of widely and motherly cares and joys, has been unworthy or wanting in the humble grandeur of success.
The mother in her struggles and victories, wielding her scepter of her children's loves, is the most honored of mortals. The poet hath well said, "The mother, in her office, holds the key of the soul; and she it is who stamps the coin Of character, and makes the being who would be a savage, But for her gentle cares, a Christian man; Then crown her queen of the world."

     The death records of Jakub and Marie Nestaval cannot be found in the records of the parsonage in Zalsi, up to year 1881. The priest made an obvious error when writing the above marriage record; he listed that the father of the groom was Frantisek Nestaval.


The translator said "there are some errors in the original text, by which I mean errors in the parsonage registers. For example, the name Frcal is also spelled as Frzal, Marianna is also spelled Mariana, Mensik is also spelled Mencik, Rozina is also spelled Rozyna, etc."
