Memoir for Reuben Perry Jr
1845, 3, 1. Memorial for Reuben Perry prepared by David White, Isaiah Nicholson, Jepe Jessop, Obeth Winslow, William O. White, Thomas Newby, and Jepitar White. According to Piney Woods Monthly Meeting notes. And transcribed from the original meeting notes by Wayne C. Allman in Pioneer Preachers and Friends. This memorial was also read at the Yearly Meeting sessions. 5, 3, 1845.
"We feel our minds engaged to give forth a listening concerning our dear deceased Friend and Elder in the church, Reuben Perry, whom it has pleased the Lord to remove from us by death and gather to his eternal rest. He was the son of Reuben and Esther Perry of Perquimans County in North Carolina, and was born the 9th of the 10th month 1760. His parents living in humble life and possessing but little of the property of this world and a number of children to support were unable to give them but a small portion of school learning. Their residence being out of the main settlement of friends, and several miles from Meeting, their children were suffered for the most part to remain at home on first days of the week or visit in the neighborhood and spend their time in rural sports and childish play. As the subject of these remarks grew up to man's estate he became estranged from the love of truth and righteousness and went considerable by this into vanity and the gratification of sensual pleasing; on which account he thus expresses himself in a narrative addressed to his children.
'Although I had a birth-right and some what educated among the people called Quakers, but through and by the delusions of that envious spirit of man's eternal happiness, I suffered my mind to be drawn out from the principles of said society in so much as to be disowned by them. Yes, I followed the pursuites and gratifications of this fading world for several years but not without that voice witness that God has placed in the hearts of the children of men, which following me, and often smiting and checking my conscience for mis-conduct, until it pleased the Lord to bring me into a very low state of body and mind, and bring my sins and transgressions in order before the view of my mind. Great wrestlings and strugglings of spirit here was with me for several days and nights together. The veil of darkness that covered my poor drooping mind was so great that I thought I was the worst of all God's creation and that there was no redemption for me. But the Lord was pleased by and through his infinite mercy and goodness, in his own proper time, to cause my wandering mind to be brought into profound stillness. And to see that there was a necessity to seek and to cry unto that crucified Lord to save my soul until there was a willingness raised in me to give up all things for Christ's sake.'
In his affliction above alluded to he was visited with a severe pain in his hip and thigh, which caused the flesh to shrink on that limb, and produced lameness the remainder of his life. On being restored to health he in imitation of the Eminent Apostle 'Conferred no longer with flesh and blood' but sought to join himself with the people of God and in the 11th month 1794 was reinstated a member of the Society of Friends. Shortly after in great diffidence and contrition of heart in a short but impressive testimony to the mercy and goodness of God manifested to him he appeared in a religious meeting in the ministry to the satisfaction of friends. And as he was faithful to occupy his gift he became enlarged therein.
And on the 2nd month 1799 he was recommended by the Piney Woods Monthly Meeting as a minister approved by them and accepted by the Quarterly Meeting as such.
In the spring of 1804 he performed a religious visit in the service of the Gospel to some of the meetings of Friends in Virginia and Maryland to his own satisfaction and peace of mind, and of Friends where he visited as approved by testimonies to that effect from several Quarterly Meetings within the limits of which he had performed his visit. Several other times he was engaged in short excursions in the work of the ministry within the limits of his own Quarterly Meeting, the lower part of Virginia, and Contentnea Quarter. But for the most part he served close to home. He was a minister possessed with a lively gift, was careful to move therein not (with) enticing words of men's wisdom but in the clear demonstrations of the spirit and powers of the Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. And he addressed the Gospel he communicated to others by a reverent devotion to the service of his Lord. He was a worthy example of Christian plainness, simplicity, meekness and charity, much beloved by all that were acquainted with him and was a diligent attender of meeting both for worship and discipline, according to ability but as he advanced in age infirmities consequent therein increased upon him, and being lame it was with difficulty that he could walk about for several pf the last years of his life. So that very often he was unable to get out to meetings which was a great cross and privation to him. He did not get from home the past two years and a large portion of that time he was confined to his bed under which confinement and affliction he manifested great patience and resignation, to the Divine Will. To his friends that visited him during this time he would say 'My love for my friends and the cause of truth is undiminished but the sufferings of this poor body prevents me from assembling with them. I am a poor pitiful object here in the way of others but I feel resigned till the measure of my sufferings shall be full and wait patiently until my change cometh. Trusting in that merciful redemption which cometh by Jesus Christ.' He gradually weakened and wasted away and quietly departed this life 14th of the 9th month 1844 after a long life of exemplary Christian simplicity and devotion to the service of his Lord and the promotions of the redeeming causes of truth and righteousness on earth, aged nearly eighty-four years. 
We feel a lively assurance that he has finished his course here on earth in peace with God and all men and his purified spirit, released from its earthly tabernacle, is gathered to its everlasting rest. "
