There is a grandson of Perry Eddy named William Perry Eddy, son of Isreal
Eddy, son of Perry Eddy. Tel 503-753-5426, 2620 So. West 53rd. St.,
Corvallis, Oregon 97333.See page 564 of Eddy Family in America, #4365. The book says that he was
married to Mary Amanda Frantz in Hoskins, Benton Co., Oregon. The bible
record gives the place as Kings Valley, Benton Co., Oregon.
In the 1880 census, Perry is given as age 22, living in house of Jessie Wood, born in Iowa. As other? Perhaps working on a farm?I, Larry Anderson, in company with my sons, Jacob and Larry Jr. visited Corvallis, OR on 28-30 June 2004. We visited with William Perry Eddy, our 3rd cousin who showed us around the family areas of interest. We spent a lot of time at the Ft. Hoskins cemetery as well as areas of interest as the family lived and grew up in the area. A very special, lovely area, hilly to mountainous, full growth of stands of trees, pine and fir, etc., rivers with fishing as these families grew and were able to run the mountains, fish and hunt in a paradise. Logging and mills were a staple to their lives and ecconomy.
Perry also had the distributorship of a type of headstone of Zinc, very elaborate, some as standing monuments with elaborate floral designs, engravings, some as smaller markers, also flowered and engraved. These monuments in the cemetery are the best kept, least deteroated, no moss or loss of clarity, etc. They all held up very well.
There is a stone to commemorate the valley and cemetery:
