Edward Aylesworth Perry

Edward Aylesworth Perry (1831–1889), occasionally known as E. A. Perry was a prominent Pensacolian of the late 19th century. He is perhaps best known as the fourteenth Governor of Florida (1885–1889).

Perry served with distinction in the Confederate Army during the Civil War, rising from the rank of private to brigadier general.

Perry is buried in St. John’s Cemetery 2 North, Section 15.
