Jane Perkins' dying wish: To see daughter married |
Constructed circa 1895, this Queen Anne style house at 419 Bird Street, Hannibal, Mo., was home to the W.T. Perkins family. Daughter Jennie Perkins moved up the date of her marriage to Jim Williams in order to accommodate her motherâs dying wish of witnessing her daughterâs wedding. Jennie was married and her mother died on Jan. 9, 1902, in this house. PHOTO COURTESY OF JEAN MEYER
