Dr. David W. Perkins died at Milwaukee, Wisconsin on August 18, 1884, of cancer of the stomach at the age of 68 years.  He will be best remembered among the dental profession as the inventor of the Perkins Chair, which form many years was the best dental chair known.  He began life as a civil engineer, and was employed by the State of New York for some three years and engaged in the construction of the Black River Canal.  He afterwards studied medicine, taking the degree of M.D. at the Castleton Medical College of Castleton, Vermont.  His studies in dentistry were pursued under the preceptorship of the late Dr. Foster of Utica, NY and in the year 1843 he removed to Milwaukee, where he resided during the remainder of his life.
