      LEWIS ROSALVO PERRY
      History of Mapleton by Ralph Kay Harmer and Wendell B. Johnson, p.166

      “Lewis Rosalvo Perry was the son of Stephen C. Perry and Anna Marie Hulet Perry. He was born at Mt. Pisgah, Iowa on December 31, 1849. At six months, he came with the family to Utah and spent most of his childhood in Springville, Utah. His schooling was limited to three months during winter. The remainder of his time as a boy was spent on the farm, herding sheep and cattle. As he became older, his responsibilities increased to cutting grain with the old-fashioned ‘turkey wing cradle’, or scythe, threshing and winnowing. At 16, he went to Strawberry Valley to work on a government logging project. In 1869, he was requested to assist the perpetual Emigration Company to transport a company of Denmark emigrants from the North Platte River to Salt Lake. That same year he went to Weber Canyon to work on the Union Pacific Railroad. With the mining boom of 1870, Lewis started a mining operation with L. J. Whitney in the Tintic region. The claim, which was named ‘Sunbeam’, yielded a high gross and proved to be a very successful venture.

      On December 18, 1871, Lewis married Cornelia Dolly Whiting in the Endowment House. They built a home in Mapleton a few years later and Lewis became a full-time farmer. They built a home in Mapleton a few years later and Lewis became a full-time farmer. Both were active in civic and church functions. Lewis served as Superintendant of the Mapleton Sunday School under Bishop Edwin Lucius Whiting and Dolly served in the Relief Society. In 1897, Lewis was called by William T. Tew to fill a mission to the Southern States. He remained 18 months in the mission and returned home on account of illness in the family. There were seven children born to Lewis and Dolly: Willis Delmar Perry, Myra Gertrude Perry, Leon Lewis Perry, Charles Franklin Perry, George Washington Perry, Erma Perry, and Ross Leo Perry.

      In 1899, the Lewis R. Perry family moved to Union, Oregon. They moved to Driggs, Idaho in 1907, then finally to LaGrande, Oregon in 1910. Lewis was active in Church affairs and eventually became a member of the high council. He died at LaGrande, Oregon December 29, 1914. Dolly survived him 19 years and died October 15, 1933 at LaGrande.”
