Read More	Past and Present of Marshall County, Iowa; Vol. 2; ISBN 1-58103-898-4 John H. Perry (page 1013) Conspicuous among the representative citizens of Marshall county is J. H. Perry, of Melbourne, Logan Township, for, being a man of sterling worth, he has made his influence felt for the general good of his community and he has directed his efforts along such worthy lines as to gain definite success. Mr. Perry was born in Bureau County, Illinois May 8, 1852. He came to Marshall County, Iowa, in 1869 and has since been a resident of the Hawkeye state. He received a good elementary education in the common schools and has supplemented the same by wide home reading. He spent nine years in Lyon County and seven years in the drub business at Oelwein, Fayette County, but most of his life has been spent in Marshall County. His father, James Pearson Perry, was born in Belmont County, Ohio, January 1, 1819, and died September 12, 1873. He married Elizabeth Wilson, who was born in Belmont County, Ohio, March 19, 1819, and who died at Limerick, Bureau County, Illinois, May 27, 1864. They were parents of three sons and three daughters, namely: Mrs. Mary Ogan, born September 9, 1842, resides in Marshalltown; she and her husband celebrated their golden wedding on January 1, 1911; Mrs. Sarah Thorne, born April 1, 1845, died in January 1905; Mrs. Ann Elizabeth Pyle, born in Bureau County, Illinois, October 17. 1846, lives in Melbourne, Iowa; Harrison Wilson, born February 27, 1849, lives in Jasper County; J. H. of this review; W. C., born March 22, 1856, lives in Melbourne. J. H. Perry was married in 1877 to Emma Smith, who was born in Marshall County, the daughter of Seth Smith, who was born in Indiana and who died a Ferguson, Iowa, where her mother also died. Three sons and two daughters were born to Mr. and Mrs. Smith, namely; James lives in Kansas; Frank lives in Ferguson, Iowa; M. Ellsworth lives at Winterset, Iowa; Addie, deceased; Emma, wife of the subject. To Mr. and Mrs. Perry one son has been born, Jesse Reed, whose birth occurred November 16, 1880; he completed the course in the public schools at Rhodes and attended college in Chicago for a while, later completing the course in pharmacy at Drake University at Drake University at Des Moines. He became a very proficient druggist, and for a time managed a drug store for his father at Rhodes, Iowa, later one at Oelwein. After selling out at the latter place he moved to South Dakota and entered a homestead, and by additional purchase has become the owner of two hundred acres of valuable land. He was married in 1900 to Estella Pearl Frost, the daughter of one of the early businessmen of Rhodes, Iowa. J. H. Perry has been twice married, his last wife being Susan Rice, whom he espoused in Marshalltown. She was born March 26, 1865. They now reside at Melbourne, Mr. Perry having retired from active life after many years of success as an agriculturist and dealer in live stock and grain. His investments at present are in lands in South Dakota. He has a commodious and attractive home here and is well fixed to enjoy his old age in comfort and peace. He has always taken an interest in all public enterprises, and he has been a member of the school board and has been road supervisor. He belongs to Full Moon Lodge No. 519, Masonic order, at Melbourne. He is also a member of the Modern Brotherhood of America at Rhodes. His son is also a Mason and in politics a Republican. Mr. Perry is a pleasant man to meet, kind, genial and broad-minded, thoroughly trustworthy and ever ready to do his part in furthering any movement for the good of the community at large. He has worked hard and managed well and dealt squarely with his fellow men, consequently is deserving of this large success and the honor in which he is universally held.
