H. YATES PERRIN

H. YATES PERRIN.--Sacramento County is to be congratulated upon having such a man of true worth and unquestionable character as H. Yates Perrin, a first-class automobile mechanic. He was born January 24, 1898, at Crockett, Cal., the son of Irving M. and Julia Margaret (Alberto) Perrin. His father, a successful business man, who for years conducted his affairs in Richmond, was born in San Francisco, and comes from one of the oldest families of California. His mother, also a native daughter, was born in San Pablo. They are now living at Alameda.

H. Yates Perrin was educated in the public schools of Contra Costa, and he graduated from high school in 1916 and then attended business college. During the latter part of his high school term and all through his college course he was employed as a private secretary. Every available moment was used for a definite purpose, and being apt at mechanics, he studied automobile repairing in all its phases, and is regarded as an expert in this work.

Mr. Perrin was united in marriage to Sybil Florine Herrill, a native daughter of the Golden State, born and bred at Placerville, Cal. They are the parents of one daughter, Marille June. He is greatly interested in all outdoor and indoor sports, being especially fond of basketball, inasmuch as he has played professionally. Our subject has acted as deputy sheriff of Contra Costa County and is highly honored and respected for his fair dealings. Fraternally he is a Native Son of the Golden West, Sunset Parlor, and an Eagle, and politically he adheres to the Republican party.
