DEATH OF CAPT. PERCIvAL.-CapU
o. V. Percival, one of the oldest and
best known citizens passed away last
week after a severe illness of several
days. He had been in fair, but declin-
ing health for some time past. He
was held in high esteem in our COM
munity and his loss will be felt. His
funeral was held on Friday last, Rev.
Mcdonald officiating, large number
being present. The following obitu-
airy notes have been handed us: Or
son V. Percival was born, Feb. 4,
1917, at West Glover. His father dy
ing when he was but II years of age,
leaving his mother with large fam
lily of small children, Orson became
the head of the family, taking his far
theirs place until the family were
grown. In June, 1S47, he married
Maria d. Frasier of Albany, who sur
wives him. In 1914 and 1915 he was
Captain of the 14th regiment of light |
infantry and of the officers of that |
Company there is only one survivor,
Hiram Mcclellan. His early married |
life was spent on a farm near West /
Glover. From there he moved to
where he remained only
one year, moving back TO West Glow
err, where both his sons were born.
From West Glover he moved to AL
bany, thence to Burke. from Burke
back to West Glover. Later he NOV
to Barton and from Barton to Glover
village where he lived sixteen years.
OF late he has taken much pleasure in
writing the family records of the old
est inhabitants of the town, which
have appeared from time to time in
the MONITOR. He has kept a record
of the weather and principal events
in the Vermont Register and, has pre-
served them since 1910. He took
great pains to get the facts for his
tory of the town of Glover, including
4 minute description of Runaway
Pond. This history which was prob
ably the most complete ever written
vas destroyed by fire. He leaves a
widow in feeble health and two sons,
J. F. Percival of Barton, and Fred II.
2ercival of Glover. Mr.. Percival held
various offices in the towns where he
'esided, always performing his duties G
and conscientiously. {
