A. PERRIN, lawyer, P. O. Cynthiana, was born Christmas day 1840 (actually November 25, 1839), in Harrison County, near Robinson Station, K.C.R. He is a son of Joseph and N. E. (Baldwin) Perrin, daughter of Jonah Baldwin, of Springfield, Ohio. His father is a native of the county, a prosperous farmer, who still lives to enjoy the confidence of his neighbors, and the companionship of his faithful wife. The grandfather of our sketch was Josephus Perrin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He attended the common schools of the county, until he had acquired the rudiments of a common English education, when he entered the Kentucky Military Institute, from which he was graduated in the class of 1861. He then taught school for a year, when, the war breaking out, he enlisted in Col. E. F. Clay’s Battalion of Confederate Cavalry, and was desperately wounded the very next day, at the battle of Cynthiana, and was confined to his bed until the close of the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He read law with W. W. Trimble, and was admitted to the bar in 1868. He was elected County Attorney in August, 1870, and re-elected in 1874. Served as Master Commissioner of the Harrison Circuit Court for ten years. In October, 1881, Mr. Perrin renewed the publication of the Cynthiana Democrat, which has been suspended and of which he is now the editor and proprietor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He was married in 1868, to Miss Mary E. Perrin, who died June 2, 1875. He is a member of the Presbyterian Church, and stands high in the estimation of those who know him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
