Charles,8 was born in Perryville, May 31, 1840. He was educated
in the public schools and at the Village High School taught
by T. W. BickneU.
At the age of nineteen Charles Perry entered the wood-turning
factory of James Henry Perry & Co., learning the business and
joining the firm in 1865. In 1871 he became sole owner of the business,
and the next year took as his partner Edwin Perry of Paw-
tucket. They conducted a thriving business in wood-turning and
carving until 1890, w/hen Charles Perry retired.
Mr. Perry inherits the best qualities of his Puritan ancestry —
a man honored for his integrity, a friend of the needy, highly respected
in the town where he has held positions of trust. In 1889
he served as representative in the Massachusetts legislature, and
has been a member of the Rehoboth school board for many years.
He is a staunch Republican, firm in his convictions, and ever loyal
to the course he believes to be right. In 1867, he became a member
of the Annawan Baptist Church, gave generously for its support,
and was for many years its treasurer. The choir had the benefit
of his unusually fine voice, a consecrated gift which all enjoyed.
On Nov. 26, 1868, he married Anna Powell Pierce, daughter of
Noah and Elizabeth Martin Pierce of Rehoboth. They had five
children, as follows:
Edward Everett, born Jan. 17, 1870; married Mabel Foster Briggs
of Attleborough, Sept. 26, 1900. Died Aug. 10, 1912. One
son, Ralph Foster.
Clara Louise, born July 18, 1874; married Edwin Foster Cary
of Providence, R.I., Sept. 14, 1898. Two children: Eleanor
Foster and Hope Shepherdson.
