Read More	Harvey Perkins and son, Max Eugene lost their lives in the early morning of October 27, 1936, in a fire that destroyed the farm home six miles northwest of Fairmont, Neb. The father sacrificed his life in trying to save his sleeping son's life, after he had succeeded in helping bright the other six children to safety. Harvey Perkins was born September 24, 1902, at Fairmont, Neb. The son was born on June 18, 1925. Both father and son have lived in this community their entire lives. Max never knew any other home than the family homestead which his great-grandfather settled on fifty years ago. This was always the home of Harvey Perkins, with the exception of a few years. Mr. Perkins married Amelia Lutz March 27, 1921, at Fairmont, Neb. The home was blessed with seven children, Marjorie Ellen, Max Eugene, Charlotte Louise, Morris Dean, Betty Lee, Norma Arlene and Donna Marie. The home life of the Perkins family was one of deep affection and enjoyment of each other. Harvey took great delight in the companionship of his family. The fellowship of the father and Max, the deceased son was particularly close, as Max wat the elder son, and was a companion of his father in such farm work as he could do. The immediate surviving relatives are the wife and six children, the parents, Mr. and Mrs. Alex Perkins, besides a large number of aunts, uncles and cousins on both sides of the house. The entire community has been saddened by these tragic deaths. Friends knew the father as an honest and upright young man and the son as a well mannered lad of quiet but withal sunny disposition. The father was a member of the Modern Woodmen of America lodge at the time of his death. Max entered the seventh grad of District No. 4 school this fall. Many acts of thoughtfulness and kindness by neighbors and friends attest their heartfelt sympathy for the family in their hour of sorrow.

Harvey and his son Max were killed in a house fire, and buried together in one casket.
