WARREN WENTWORTH PERRIGO

OBITUARY 12-28-1914
Post #31 Seattle former of Post #86 Haller City (Arlington)

Warren Wentworth PERRIGO, who died at Pilchuck, Wa., Monday, December 28, 1914, age 78 years, was a pioneer of King Co. He fought in the Civil War, enlisting in the 6th Me Vol. Infantry at the first call for volunteers.

He married Miss Laura McDUFF in 1864 and with his wife came, by way of Cape Horn, to Seattle in 1866. He settled at first in Kitsap Co., but finally homesteaded at Redmond, Wa.

He was always a staunch Republican and served King County as commissioner on that ticket in 1886. He was a man of uncommon ability and, to quote from the Seattle Times, "did more for the development of King county than any other man."

His first wife dying in 1887, he married again to Miss Caroline PENNYCOOK, and is survived by his widow and five children, three daughters and two sons. Two brothers, Wm. P. and George F., reside at Redmond, and Robert, Joseph C. and James in Me.

Funeral services were held at the Bonny Watson chapel, Seattle, at 3:30 p.m. January 1st uder auspices of the Civil war veterans and ladies of the Relief corps. There was a large attendance.

Warren Wentworth PERRIGO and his wife Laura came to the Puget Sound in the late 1860s.  Laura fell ill and died in 1887. Warren taught school in Kitsap County. After his wife died Warren Perrigo is believed to have moved to Seattle, and possibly Issaquah then later Snohomish County. Warren and Laura Perrigo did not have children. Warren had children after he remarried. Warren's brother, William P. Perrigo and his wife Matilda (THAYER) PERRIGO moved to Redmond in 1877 had a large family.


Warren Wentworth Perrigo taught school in Kitsap County. This land deed of 1869 probably corresponds to the area he donated land from his homestead for the log schoolhouse where he taught. The census records also correspond. There was an error in the DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution) Volume 51 that listed this identical parcel as being acquired in 1867, however the Bureau of Land Management site is the more likely source of accurate information.

I was told the there are written references re: Warren Wentworth Perrigo in Kitsap County, but I don't recall the sources offhand. I recall it said ... that Warren Wentworth Perrigo taught school for two years. He had donated part of his land for the log schoolhouse. That the land is now the former "Bender Residence" - apparently a reference to a well known family. The land was in an area that had numerous names: Old Port Orchard - not the same location as the "Port Orchard" of 2001; Decatur - but this was one of the names that had to be changed because another location in Washington established a Post Office or Town with the name - and then several other names.

The log school house students were children of workers at a Mill nearby. The Mill burned down sometime in the early 1870s - but definitely before 1876. The Mill had various names at different times. One being Coleman - named after the same person Coleman docks in Seattle is named for. (I have more notes about this.)

Hill, was head of the Great Northern Railroad. Sam Hill was a frequent guest at the Hotel Redmond. Matilda Thayer Perrigo met Sam Hill's wife on their trip around Cape Horn.
