Fulcher Perry Smith Jr. ’39

Perry died June 13, 1998, in Cumberland, Md., where he was born and lived all his life. He had been owner and operator of Cumberland Box and Mill Co. and Pergin Farm in Garrett County. As a longstanding community leader, he not only was mayor of Cumberland from 1974-78, but also served on a host of boards and public service agencies, including the Maryland Health Resources Planning Commission, the board of trustees of the State Universities and Colleges, the Maryland State Parks Commission, and the Memorial Hospital board of governors. As a 47-year member of the Rotary Club of Cumberland, he was president and district governor. In 1975 he received the Brotherhood Award from the Natl. Conference of Christians and Jews.

Perry is survived by his daughters, Hollie Kershaw and Virginia Craig, four grandchildren, and his sisters Constance and Ann. To all of them we offer our sincere sympathy.
