THE LATE TRUMAN PERRY.

Truman Perry, SO, one of Watertown's
best known and oldest citizens, passed
away quietly last Saturday afternoon al
4 80. The deceased had been in fairly
| gOOd health until villain a year or so,
when age began to assert her rights, and
he was compelled to desist from taking
his daily walk to the postufflce, which he
had practiced for many years. Mr. Perry
was born in Woodbury. and came to
Washington when he was about 81 years
| He built the residence where he has lived
and where he died, in 1885, and he carried
on the blacksmith business which in
| those days was considered lucrative
and steady trade. Mr. Perry was a
widOwer twice before he was 80 years
| old. In 1943 he married bis third wife,
Miss Nancv MunsOn, who died Decem.
Der 10, 1899. Mr. Perry was man well
known everywhere !; he had the reputation
OF telling good story, gift much to be
appreciated, and he was well liked by all
who knew him. Many are yet the cur
rent sayings in our town, which derived
their origin from him. From 1880 to
1888 he was the Watertown correspon-
dent of the Waterbury American, and MS
witty pen is yet well remembered by
some of Watertown's older people. In
1867 he gave up bis blacksmith business
and associated himself with Bamur g
Sesgraves, soliciting money ON Western
securities. For years this business
fiourished until money became more plen-
ty, when all at once it came to an end
Mr. Perry has told US many times with
much pride and satisfaction that he sent
over 100000 collected from the people
of Watertown to be invested in western
securities, paying larger rate of interest
than could be realized in the East. He
was regular attendant of the Congre-
gational church, of which he had been a
member since his boyhood days. He
had five children, of which three survive
him, Mrs Bassett OF Hamden, Mrs Peck
and Mrs Brown. The funeral was held
from bis late residence, Monday after
noon, February 5, at o'clock.
