History
John Perry:
Early Pioneer of Redmond
By Tom Hitzroth
Society
News
On January 21, 1902, John sold the land to Julia Hartough for
$5,000.00. An article in The Seattle Times from March 9, 1902, stated
that John Perry, one of the oldest and best known residents has sold his
land and moved to Redmond.
While that may seem a strange statement, it must be remembered
that in 1902, the area between172nd Ave NE and 180th Ave NE was not
considered Redmond.
When Redmond was incorporated in 1912, the eastern limit of the
city was where 172nd Ave NE would be today. John and Charlotte Perry
both died in 1914. Charlotte is buried at the Lake View Cemetery in
Seattle; John is believed to be buried in Munhall, Pennsylvania.
