She died March 31, 1990, Greenfield, Ca. She married Carl Jesse Perkins March 15, 1920, Garnet, Ks. He was born December 8, 1897, Gloversville, N. Y., and died October 17, 1968, Greenfield, Ca. He was the son of Fred Perkins and Catherine Yates. He was buried at Pacific Grove, Ca. Mary's ashes were also placed at the Pacific Grove Cemetery in the family plot where her parents are buried. Children: Keith Everett, Esther Mae, Mary and Jessie Taylor hiked from San Diego north researching California missions for Collier's magazine around 1920. Son, Keith Perkins, reported they carried guns for "rattlesnake" protection (evidently, the two legged type). During their trip north, they stayed at the historic Dutton Hotel (now ruins) at Jolon, Ca. Jessie Taylor married Willard Walker and they were among the earliest settlers of Hidden Valley. Carl Perkins helped build the breakwater at Monterey Harbor in 1929, dropping boulders from a small construction train. Keith Perkins reported that he and Esther could watch him work at night from the tight of the train. The family was living above on the hillside at Wilson's Boarding House. Mary and Carl settled at Greenfield in the late 1940's. He was a school bus driver and custodian at nearby Soledad Elementary School, and later worked for his nephew, Warren Church, hauling leaf mold. They had previously lived in Pacific Grove, and later at Marina, where they both worked in fish canning in Monterey. Later they had operated a poultry and berry farm in Marina which was located at the eastern base of the sand dunes with a large water tank atop the sand dune not far from the Fort Ord boundary. Not long after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Dec. 7, 1941, a Japanese "lady" drove in the yard, took a picture of the water tank and fled. The incident was reported immediately, and when apprehended, the "lady" was a man. (This author believes it was incidents such as this that led to the interment of the Japanese during World War II.) Mary King had attended San Jose Normal School, now San Jose State University.
