Samuel PerLee

       Col. S. R. PerLee.
 On Wednesday morning, last, at his
home in Norwich, Col. S.R. PerLee,
the veteran commander of the 114th
regiment New York volunteers, went
over to the silent majority. Col. Per-
Lee has been a prominent man in Che-
nango county for the past fifty years.
He was a gallant soldier and a respected
citizen. He was active in politics and
and had served the town as supervisor and
the county as treasurer. His funeral
was held on Memorial Day and was
largely attended, especially by those of
his regiment, members of which acted
as pall bearers, thus paying a last sad
tribute to their beloved commander.
The burial was in Mt. Hope cemetery.
