Paul Waldo Perkins

Paul Waldo Perkins was born on May 23, 1902, to Leonard and Sarah “Eunice” Crandle Perkins. He was the only child born to their union, and the family made their home in Emmett, just east of Sinking Creek.

Paul was remembered as a bright and studious young man. He frequently participated in declamatory events and earned the admiration of his teachers, neighbors, and community. Those who knew him described him as kind hearted, thoughtful, and deeply cherished.

Paul’s life ended far too soon. He passed away at the age of 25. Although no official death certificate exists, contemporary newspaper accounts reported that he died from blood poisoning.
His gravestone features a photograph that reflects his scholarly nature, along with the tender inscription, “OUR BOY.” During a recent workday, several of us—Becky Jerome, Theresa Knackstedt, Susan Small, and I—had the honor of cleaning his stone and helping preserve his memory.

Though Paul’s time on earth was brief, his life reminds us that each day is a blessing, and even short lives can leave a lasting imprint.
