Excerpt from Tom Perkins: The Story of a Base Ball Player
As arule those farmers were honest, God serving people, and many were the farmer's sons who became preachers, and are now fill ing the pulpits in many cities. It was the heart's desire of Mr. And Mrs. Perkins, that Thomas, their son, should become one of the Shepherds of Christ, and gather many Straying sheep to the fold, and to reach that wished for haven for their son, nothing was left undone, no expense cared for, no privation too great.
Mrs. Perkins had a brother living in the city of Harmony; he was childless, but very rich.
