John U. Perry
(1826 - June 19, 1897)

J. U. Perry, assumed the control of the office of treasurer and recorder in 1862, holding it one term. Mr. Perry was a man of good parts and education, a hard worker, but owing to that peculiar ill-luck that pursues some men like a shadow, he never was able to advance his worldly prospects materially. He was admitted to the bar and endeavored to practice that profession in conjunction with the busi­ness of real estate agent, but did not meet with the desired success. He is now in Mason City, although his family are still residents of Worth county. Source: History of Mitchell and Worth Counties, Iowa, 1884, p.589
