Dear Santa, all I want for Christmas this year is to find out anything I can about Emery "Cato" Perkins. I have run into alot of problems trying to dig up info on this early family member of mine and I hope you still have his Christmas list still on file to give me some information about him. I have been a very good boy this year and the cookies will be in the usual spot. Thanks Santa!

Her admission slip said she was a widow, nativity=Georgia, and for her name it just says Mrs E.E. Perkins. I have'nt been able to find anything else on them at all except she was admitted into the hospital from Montague County Texas. I was told her first name may have been Mary but that does'nt help much. If anyone has anything even close to what I have please give me a shout. Thanks and Happy Hunting! Other Perkins in tree include a D.L. Perkins who married Marilyn Sue Paschall, Mary Ann Perkins who married Vernon Hamner, Viola Perkins who married Jim Anderson Cloud.
