HENRY PERKINS INQUEST
AND EXHUMATION
Inquiry into Death of Henry Perkins
[Welland Tribune, 4 January 1907]
On the Saturday before Christmas, Henry Perkins, a carpenter working here for Contractor Peacock, went to his home at Canfield to spend the holidays with his wife. He was taken sick the next day and died on Christmas day, greatly to the surprise of his doctor in attendance. His body was buried but the circumstances were such that a great deal of talk arose, and Coroner Arrell of Cayuga began an inquest last week. The body was exhumed and a post-mortem examination was held by Dr. Bauer of Hamilton, the full result of which is not known at time of this writing.
When deceased left Welland on the Saturday before his death he was apparently in the best of health and his death was a great shock to all who knew him. He was a member of the carpenters’ union, and Mr. Daniel Passmore, an officer of the local union, attended at the sittings of the inquest.
