Funeral services for Henry Cleveland Perkins, prominent mining engineer and long a resident of Washington, who died Saturday at the residence of his son-in-law, Col. Robert Wallach, in Warrenton, Va., will be held tomorrow afternoon at 3 O'clock at Hamilton, Mass. Mr. Perkins was born 80 years ago at Staten Island, N.Y. He went to California in 1864 where he resided for many years and was active in management of several large mines there. He was subsequently engaged in the operation of mines in Venezuela, Alaska, South Africa and Korea. He was associated with Hennen Jennings and with the Eckstein and the Wehrner and Beic mining firms of London, England. For the last 26 years he had been president of the Oriental Consolidated Mining Co. He was a director of the Alabama company and a trustee of the George Washington University. He was a member of the Metropolitan and Chevy Chase clubs. For many years he lived at 1701 Connecticut avenue, but lately moved to his residence to 1717 I street northwest. Surviving Mr. Perkins are his son, Cleveland Perkins, and four daughters, Mrs. Albert Carroll, Mrs. Francis Ruggles, Mrs. Robert Wallach and Miss Ruth Perkins.

Henry first became involved in mining while working as Olmsted's assistant at the Mariposa mining estate in California in the 1860s. See Volume 5 of the papers of Frederick Law Olmsted. Olmsted stayed with Henry and Hannah in Chislehurst, England, when he visited Europe in the spring and summer of 1892. And Henry actually did research for Olmsted regarding the types of boats to be used at the Chicago World's Fair of 1893.
