Perkins, Samuel F., was born in Fairport, N. Y., October 25, 1833, a son of Asa and Martha (Esten) Perkins.
His father lived to a ripe old age, dying in his ninetyfourth year. Samuel F. received a common school education,
and early in life entered the employ of the New York Central Railroad; he is well known as a locomotive engineer,
one of the oldest in Western New York; his service as an engineer covers a period of about forty years, which fact
alone is substantial evidence of his ability, carefulness and fidelity; for more than a quarter of a century he
has drawn the passenger train between Batavia and Canandaigua, and not only stands high in the estimation of his
employers, but has attained a foremost place as a citizen of Batavia. In 1838 he was married to Margaret, daughter
of Jeremiah Foland; they are the parents of four children-Edward, Mary E., Cora A. and Grace M. Mr. Perkins is
a Methodist.
