William Henry Perego

William Henry was a kind and very patient man. He walked with his hands behind his back and whistled softly. He was a farmer.He never shaved except on his 21st birthday. He didn't smoke or chew. They were not poor people, just very thrifty. grandpa greased his wagon wheels with lard, which he already had instead of axle grease which probably cost 5cents a box. They raised bees, had greape vineyard, orchard and large garden. So with all this they raised, they had only coffee, salt, a little sugar, kerosene, matches and carpet warp to buy, as grandma wove the carpets for the floors.

In 1880, William Henry and Helen (Minich) Perego and son Murlin, came from Indiana to Oregon Co. Missouri in a covered wagon train. Others in the wagon train were Helen's Parents, Isaac and Cynthia Minich and their other children Luther, Mason,and Christia Ann Minich, Amanda Perego, Samuel Perego, Isaac Perego and wife Marilda. Sarah (sade) Perego Mills and daughter Carrie.

Adam and Louisa (Minich) Strosnider and children William and Kate. William Harrod and wife Nancy and five children, three who's names were Martha, George, and Billie (who later married Kate Strosnider).

The young folks walked most of the way, sany and enjoyed the trip. The high lights was crossing the Mississippi River at Cairo, Illinois on a ferry. At night they would put their wagons in a tight circle and stake the hourses inside to circle in fear of Indians. But they were never bothered by Indians. **Information from Nell perego Reynolds 1973 and Ola perego Huddleston 1976
