Read More	History of Shelby County Oliver Commodore Perry Farmer and Stock-raiser, Post-office, Clarence Mr. Perry, one of the well-to-do farmers and substantial citizens of Jefferson township, is by descent related to Commodore Oliver Perry , for whom he was named, and who, as all the world knows, was the most distinguished officer in American naval history, and one of the greatest naval officers of any age or country. He served with distinguished gallantry in the expedition against Tripoli, and commanded on Lake Erie during the War of 1812, obtaining one of the most brilliant victories against superior forces to be met with in naval annals. In honor of this great victory, a magnificent painting of the battle scene now adorns one of the walls of the Senate wing of the Capitol building at Washington City. Mr. Perry, the subject of this sketch, was born in Shelby county, December 7, 1846, and was a son of Capt. Richard Perry, an early settler in this county from Virginia. Mr. P.'s mother was a Miss Mary Selsor before her marriage, also of Virginia. The family first removed to Ohio, and then came to Missouri in about 1840, settling near Shelbina, where Capt. Perry improved a farm. He is still living, and makes his home with a married daughter, being now advanced in years. Oliver C. Perry was reared on the farm in this county, and received a good common school education. On the 19th of December, 1867, he was married to Miss Ellen Randol, a daughter of John B. Randol, then of this county, but now of Colorado. Mr. and Mrs. P. have six children: John H., Emma, Orie, Floyd, Lee and Harry. They have lost one, Charley, who died in infancy. After his marriage, Mr. Perry located on a farm in Jefferson township. He has since, at different times, owned four farms in that township. He came to his present place in the winter of 1875-76. This is a valuable farm, two and a half miles south of Clarence,containing 320 acres, all under fence and in a good condition. Most of it is run in meadow and pasture for stock purposes. Mr. Perry makes a business of buying and feeding cattle and hogs for the market, in which he has excellent success. He and wife are members of the M. E. Church at Zion.
