• Potential Photograph of Sylvester Perkins or his brother
  The identity of a young Black boy who is standing at the gate in an early photograph of the Warm Springs Bath House is not known, but might be Sylvester Perkins. The mule trolley pictured in the photo helps to date the picture to a time after 1870. There is a family memory associated with the first proprietors of the Warm Springs Bath House, Nineteenth Ward Bishop James Hendricks and wife, Drusilla, that mentions three Black people helping with the enormous workload at the facility. That reminiscence recounts a man named Bill, along with two women, Cad and Chloe, working for the Hendricks family. See Diane Hendricks, “The Hendricks Family at the Bath House in Salt Lake City 1848-1860,” FamilySearch Family Tree, James Hendricks (KWJD-NM1), Memories, (accessed 25 Aug 2023). Drusilla and James Hendricks ran the bath house in the early 1850s, likely twenty years before the picture was taken and there is no known connection between Bill, Cad, Chloe and Sylvester Perkins.
