Ma...Some things line up and some things don't.<br /><br />Mary Charlotte Perkins was born 27 May 1867 in Scituate, RI, daughter ofJohn V Perkins and Charlotte E Tucker. In 1875 They were living at 25 Bridgham St in Providence, and Mary was listed as May C. In 1880 Mary was working as a clerk.<br /><br />The Samuel W Bridgham School is a middle school. In RI that means grades 6 to 8, so May C Perkins could have been in the class of 1880 from this school.<br /><br />One other thing that is interesting is that there is an Antonio J Petisce, CPA, living at 11 Bridgham St in 1958 (Prov. City Directory.) He would be the man who signed in 1949.<br /><br />But what doesn't line up is that some of the ones who signed "Class of 1880" were older than this. Some could be High School graduates in that year. Hattie Clark, born 1862, Mary Loudon 1864, Bertha Gould 1864, Louise Dawley 1865.<br /><br />And the five (besides May Perkins) that signed September 27, 1890 were older than that.<br /><br />May Perkins married Mason T Tillinghast on 4 Feb 1904 (his second, I think). In 1940 she said she had only attended one year of high school. There were no children with them in 1920.<br /><br />So /maybe/ Class of 1880 refers to a group of co-workers, but that doesn't sound right. The 1890 group could be May Perkins co-workers though.<br /><br />This Mary C (Perkins) Tillinghast died Jan 13, 1941, and is buried in Swan Point Cemetery.<br /><br />(familysearch.org searches, and ancestry.com for City Directories)Ed Hamiltonhttp://www.myoldohiohome.comnoreply@blogger.com
