Elbridge PERRY, of Pomfret [Vermont], was born 02 September 1846 in Pomfret 
[Windsor County, Vermont], son of Asa and Martha Ann (SPOONER) PERRY. 
Educated in the public and private schools of Barnard [Windsor County, 
Vermont], at the age of twenty he left the paternal roof and labored on 
various farms for a period of five years. In April 1872 he bought the estate 
on which he now resides and which he has cultivated until the present time. 
He is a substantial farmer and has enjoyed a contented, though perhaps a 
somewhat uneventful, career. On his farm he raises large numbers of cows and 
sheep. He belongs to the Republican party; has been road commissioner, 
school director, and town representative to the legislature of 1892. He has 
also served the town as selectman. On 26 January 1870 Mr. [Elbridge] PERRY 
was married to Viola, daughter of Smith and Caroline M. (HACKETT) HODGES, of 
Pomfret. Five children have been born to them: Mima A., Hermon S., Arthur 
A., Seth E., and Mildred H.
