James E. Perry Dies

James E. Perry, for over forty years engaged in the drug business in Carrollton, died at 2 o'clock a.m. Tuesday at St. Paul Sanitarium, Dallas, following a cerebral hemorrhage Saturday evening. He was carried to the sanitarium immediately following the attack, but little hopes were entertained for his recovery.

Funeral services were held in the Carrollton Christian church Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock and interment was in Forest Lawn beside the wife who had preceded him in death just a few weeks before.

Rev. S. E. Wilkin, of Dallas, former pastor here, preached the funeral sermon, Rev. Orbin Turner assisting in the services. A large concourse of sorrowing friends paid their last respects to their departed friend and fellow citizen; the floral offerings were beautiful, the spray on the casket being especially beautiful and eliciting much admiration.

Mr. Perry had been in poor health for a number of years and during the past three years being especially troubled, but on the day on which he was stricken he said he felt better then he had for some time. Had  he lived until April 14thh he would have been 63 years of age. He was born just a short distance north of Carrollton and has been a resident here all of his life.  He engaged in the drug business in early life and has been engaged in that line ever since. His mother died when he was about nine years of age and his father has also passed away, his wife died Feb. 28, this year. There are two daughters surviving: Miss Glenn Perry at home, and Mrs. C. A. Lastinger of Houston.
