He had the meager schooling customary for pioneers of that period and in his early teens was doing the work of a man in helping to build up this southern part of Utah. He followed fol-lowed farming and stock-raising. On May 30, 1886, he was married mar-ried in the St. George Temple to Almaretta Spencer and they moved mov-ed shortly to Cannonville, Utah, to reside for many years. From there they moved to Magrath, Alberta Al-berta Canada, remaining for four years before returning to Dixie and taking up farming land at Cane Beds about 1925. Mr. and Mrs. Perkins were the parents of eleven children, nine of whom with their mother, survive, sur-vive, including four sons and five daughters.
