AI Notes
A single typewritten sheet on plain white paper, headed in blue manuscript with the words ‘Grace Church / Camden, South Carolina.’ The body is a certified extract from the parish register burial records for 1907 recording the death of Julia N. Perry, widow of the Rev. J. B. D. Perry (a typist error or original-register variant of B. F. D. Perry / Benjamin Faneuil Dunkin Perry — same person, whose death record is on p. 640); signed in transcription as ‘W. B. Gordon’ (the 1907 officiant). The notarial certification by Harry E. Lawhon, Jr., Rector, and Willie M. Taylor, Notary Public, is dated 13 June 1969. A notary seal is embossed at the lower left. The 1907 register has ‘J. B. D. Perry’ (initial likely a register error for B. F. D.); the family form (per p. 640 and family notes) is Benjamin Faneuil Dunkin Perry. The widow’s name ‘Julia N. Perry’ is the 1907 form; the c. 1969 family-group-sheet (p. 610) renders her as Julia Virginia Besselieu — likely a typist’s misread of ‘V.’ as ‘N.’ in 1907. Enclosed with pp. 640 and 643 in the Grace Church dossier on p. 639.
