William A. Perry and His Estimable Wife
Utica Saturday Globe, August 1901
 

Mr. & Mrs. William A. Perry

Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]:  At a meeting of the directors of the Young Men's Christian Association held Tuesday evening, Secretary William A. Perry tendered his resignation to take effect September 15.  Mr. Perry came here a year ago from Syracuse, where for two years, he had been assistant to the general secretary of the Y.M.C.A. of that city and during his stay here he has conducted the work of the association in a very effective and successful manner.  He goes to Salem, Mass., where he will be secretary of the boys' department of the association of that city.
 
Mrs. Perry has been a most worthy helpmeet to her husband in his work here.  She has acted as librarian and for a large portion of the time has taken full charge of the boys department and is secretary of the Ladies' auxiliary of the association.  She has also taken an active interest in church work, being a member of the King's Daughters of the Congregational Church and secretary of the Woman's Home Missionary Society.
 
Mr. and Mrs. Perry during their stay in this village have gained a large number of friends who regret their departure from Norwich and whose best wishes for continued success will go with them to their new home.
