History of Dakota and Goodhue Counties, Minnesota, Vol II, 1910, pg 706-707.
Alfred H. Perkins was born in Featherstone, this county, October 26, 1867, a scion of old New England stock. His parents, H. and Violetta E. (Ellsworth) Perkins, left New England in the late 1850's and located on a farm in the county of Goodhue, coming to Red Wing in the early 1870's.
Here the father was engaged in several business ventures, continuing his connection with same until his death. The mother now makes her home in Boston, Mass. Alfred received his education in the public schools of Red Wing, farmed five years at Featherstone, engaged in the livery business at Red Wing for a time, and then returned to Featherstone again. In 1895 he removed to Hartland, Pierce county, Wisconsin, and followed farming there until 1900, after which he entered the employ of the government as rural mail clerk. He died April 15, 1906. Thus cut off in the prime of manhood, there is doubtless much that he would have accomplished had he lived man's allotted span of days. His life was characterized by hard work and family devotion, and his death was a distinct bereavement to the community as well as to his loving family. He was a Republican in politics, a communicant of the Episcopal church and a member of the Modern Workmen.
Mr. Perkins was married April 24, 1889, at Burnside, Minn., to Jennie W. Purdy, daughter of David and Mary F. (Rolfe) Purdy, natives of New York. They came to Minnesota in 1864 and located on a farm in Goodhue township, where they remained for some time, after which they retired and moved to Red Wing, where the father died. The mother died May 19, 1905. To Mr. and Mrs. Alfred H. Perkins were born three children: Harry H., born August 1, 1892, Burton T., born October 14, 1896, and Genevieve, born September 19, 1897. The family residence is at 1604 West Sixth Street.
