Death of u Prominent Citizen.

| Death Of u Prominent Citi=eH.-
For many months past Judge Douglas
Percy had been confined to his resi-
dence. Age had brought to him its
infirmities, each growing heavier as
the weeks came and went. At q
o'clock, Wednesday morning, 9th inst,
he died, aged rs years.
Judge Percy was born in Ayrshire,
Scotland. In 1881 he became a resi-
dent of Allegany county, and after
ward largely concerned in the devel-
opment Of our mineral resources. 1t
is reliably said of him that he ''opened
the first mine in this region for the
shipment of coal" Thoroughly versed
in the theoretical and practical work
ings of mining operations, he was also
Il business man of considerable ac-
quirements. AS such he was for
many years the efficient superintend-
ent of the New York and Washington
mining companies. His long identity
with the region made him an author
ity in matters touching our resources.
He was frequently referred to for in
formation and his judgment sought.
In 1881 he married Miss Eleanor M.
Porter, sister of DR.. ]. NJ. Porter, of
this place, who survives him. Seven
children, all grown, also survive,
namely, Willium r. and Douglas G..
Percy, of Frostburg Mrs. W. II.
LeFevre, of Cumberland; Mrs. l.. T.
Dewitt, of Westernport Mrs. Anna
Shaw, widow of the late j. j. Shaw,
Of Cumberland. and Mrs. Mrs. Marion
Shaw, widow of the late Charles W.
Shaw.
He was member of the Orphans
Court of this county from 1864 to 1867;
i'll 1870 Councilman of this town,
and at the time Of his death had been
for many years a director OF the
Second National Bank of Cumberland.
In the administration of all the
trusts committed to him he exhibited
good judgment and a sturdy sense of
right. Of strong convictions, his en-
tire career was marked by consistent
and rigid adherence to religious and po-
litical formulas learned in his youth
Withal, he was gentle, social and
genial. Those who knew him best, his
family and relatives, recognize in his
death the loss of kind protector and
safe counselor. The public at large
will remember his high character and
recur to his work and success as worth
emulation.
The funeral took place yesterday.
Short services at the house and inter
ment at the Porter graveyard, under
the auspices Of the English Lutheran
church, of which Mr.. Percy was for
many years prominent member,
completed the last sad rites.
AS mark Of respect all the business
houses of the town closed during the
funeral.
