Loss
Every community goes through changes. Perry was founded when the railroad came through in 1869, and in 1980, the last train went through the town. More than 100 men and their families found themselves out of work, but the whole community felt the loss. Other changes include farming, education, the meat packing plant, and stores that closed their doors. At the same time, new immigrants came from Central and South America. Other stores and businesses opened. These photographs represent what was lost and, in some ways, what the community has learned.
