 Notes for BERTRAND DICK PERKINS:

His head stone reads:  Aged 76 years 4 months and 15 days.

 Dick and Ollie lived on the old homestead in Pleasant Mound.  The house was built by John Henry Perkins and Ephraim.   It seems that the home place always went to the baby of the family upon the death of the father.

 Dick and Ollies son Darel was born there.

  He did a lot of work with fruit orchard and the grafting of different types of apple trees in order to create the perfect apple tree.

 There was a story that my Uncle Roger L. Perkins told me about how "Dick" always warned them (Dad and Uncle) about putting the old gas cans on the handle bars of Thier bikes.  He (Dick) always said that they could fall and get really hurt and if that happened they shouldn't expect him to help.   Any way one day my uncle and my Dad saw Dick riding the bike and wouldn't you know it , he had the gas can on the handle bars, he hit a bump and fell. I was told that neither boy ever said a word to him about it, they just went to him somber faced and helped him up!   I'll bet they wanted to say something don't you? 

There is a wonderful story told to me about Old Dick as I have heard many call him by a nice of his Myrtle Mae Dothager and her brother.  It goes like this...Old Dick used to like to go fishing ...Not just any fishing, he liked to do what he called Hogin.  This is fishing in the weeds of the bank of Hurricane creek with his bare hands.   There were different types of fish available at different times of the year.

Now when Old Dick would find a fish he would get the most stern look on his face and up would come his hands with a fish in them.

 Another story goes like this..

    Old Dick weighed about 120 pounds soaking wet.  (I don't know if it's true or not but, I was told once that it's the fat in a person that made them float) I was told by Myrtle Mae Perkins Dothager who used to fishing with Old Dick and her father Cleo Perkins who was Dick's Nephew by his brother Oscar,  that Old Dick could float.  Myrtle Mae's brother Lloyd that he had actually seen Old Dick smoke a cigarette while floating and not even get it wet!  That must have really been something to see!

  No matter what, when they would go fishing or swimming, Old Dick would stick his big toe in the water and exclaim   "Suffern Tom Cats, That water is Wet!"

To me that says it all!  He must have been quite the fellow to know!
