DEATH OF HENRY c. PERCY

A large number of New Haven friends of the deceased will read with regret of the death of Henry c. Percy, which oc- cured in New York city Wednesday. His death comes as surprise, for all though he had been in poor health for a year, 1t was not thought that he was critically i'll. About a year ago he be- gan to suffer with stomach trouble, which did not, however, prevent him from at times giving attention to his business. A few weeks ago he went, by advice of his physician, to the Hahn emann hospital for special treatment in the hope that he might recover. Mir Percy years ago resided in New Haven and he had a large circle of friends here. He was a. man of very genial cheerful disposition, who looked on the bright side, and was very popular friend and companion. His wife is a New Haven woman, sister of Charles R. Coan of the Security Insurance com pany, and the deceased leaves, besides his wife, an only child, Richard T. Per cy, who was formerly organist of Dd- venport church, this city, and later of Center church, and who is now organist of the Marble Collegian church of New York city. The deceased was son of Truman Percy of Watertown, and his funeral will take place at the residence of his father in Watertown this after noon at l o'clock. The deceased leaves one sister, Mrs. Bassett, wife of Jared Rassett of Hamden Plains.
