George Perkins Falls a Victim to Cupid.
“It is not good for the man to be alone.” That was the divine injunction as propounded in the holy scriptures, but it was lo, these many years before their full significance dawned upon our friend and popular townsman, George C. Perkins, whose 6 feet, 2½ inches of muscular manhood has now been battered to a shapeless and helpless mass by the tiny arrows from Cupid’s bow, which lately have been descending upon him in a perfect torrent.
For a long time our genial friend has been reckoned as one of the most notorious bachelors west of the Mississippi river, almost outranking the holly Scott Benson, of Illinois central fame. His travels have been about as extensive as the latter gentleman’s, and from New Orleans on the south, to the head of the lakes on the north and as far west as the Yellowstone Park, there has not been many cities but what genial George has honored by his presence. He has a happy faculty of easily getting acquainted, so his friends are legion and scattered to every point of the compass. However, in all his travels, meeting thousands of the charming sex, they filed to charm and he calmly passed them all up. But the still small voice of the Bible quotation wouldn’t down and with every blast from his forge and every blow from the hammer came the reminder that the lot of man was indeed lonely without a helpmate, and at last he succumbed.
The fair one who is responsible for this change in the destiny of Mr. Perkins is Mrs. Cora Boyer, of Cresco, a sister of Mrs. Arthur Johnson, of Bradford, and who has quite a large circle of friends in Nashua already, having visited here on a few occasions. She is a most estimable woman and is universally looked up to in her home town.
The wedding takes place at the home of the bride at high noon today, Thursday May 10th, 1906, and will be a quiet affair. We are not informed as to whether there will be a honeymoon trip or not, but any rate Mr. and Mrs. Perkins may be expected in Nashua by Saturday or Sunday, and in a few days they will be located in their home, which will be vacated by H. M. Walleser and family. The Reporter extends greetings to the couple and wishes them much happiness.— Nashua Reporter.
