Snagged these obits from another list: The Puritan Recorder, Boston, Thursday, Mar. 4, 1852 Obituaries Mrs. Martha S. Perkins Died in Littleton, MA., Jan. 28th, Mrs. Martha S., wife of Capt. Plaisted H. Perkins, of Kennebunkport, ME, and daughter of Dea. James Kimball, of L., aged 26. As she was one of those who stay up the hands of ministers and missionaries, her name will justly be held in grateful remembrance. At the age of fifteen she united with her parents and others in the organization of the Orthodox Church in L., and highly adorned that profession till she died. At the Female Academy, Andover--as a Sabbath School scholar, of I. S. Everett--Missionary to the Armenians--and while attending school at Charlestown, she enjoyed precious privileges, and endeared herself to friends who now deeply mourn her. She was counted among the most faithful friends of the lamented Bryant, and her letters greatly cheered him and his companion while he was fading out--dying amid the darkness of Africa. She was married last spring, sailed with her husband to Mobile, (where many who mourn her death reside)--to Sweden and to England, where she visited the Crystal Palace and other objects of interest. Her trust in God and hope in Christ were beautifully illustrated by her composure during a storm at sea, which threatened to founder their bark and wrap them in a winding-sheet of waters. She arrived safe at Littleton, spoke with interest for a few days of the old world, for a few fleeting hours gazed on the babe which God gave her, then passed away, as we trust, to the heavens. The visions of earthly magnificence had scarcely become effaced from the mind, ere she opened her eyes on wonders more vast and scenes more congenial. Her flight was rapid, from the metropolis of the world to the capitol of the universe, from the Crystal Palace to the palace of the Eternal. Though we mourn her loss, we trust it was gain to her to die. With a cultivated mind and heart, pleasing manners, an even disposition, a taste for sacred music, affections which endeared her to all her friends, especially to her husband, of whom she ever spoke in the language of a grateful and loving heart, she might have been highly useful had she lived; but we would submissively bow to the divine decree, and say, "Thy will be done." The bereaved husband returned a few days since, from St. Thomas, where he stopped to repair his bark, and found that his wife and child lay together in the tomb. Died in Littleton, 7th Feb., Elizabeth Hill Perkins, infant child of the above, aged 16 days. Died in Littleton, Feb. 9th, Mr. John H., son of Dea. James Kimball, and brother to Mrs. Perkins, aged 38. All these died in one house in less than two weeks.
