Judge A. D. NJ. HARRISON for the
practice Of law. In 1866 he was
married to Miss Annie M. Here
ford, the Rev. DR.. Lewis oficiat-
ing. This marriage was the hap
py consummation of a six years
engagement, prolonged by the
war. He won a true and noble
wife, lovely in person, mind and
character. In this year, having
been appointed surveyor, in and
for the parish of Pointe Coupee,
he devoted more and more time
to this business, and in the fol-
lowing year he severed his con-
nection with the2bar, and owing
to the great distress and impov-
erishment brought on the parish
by the floods of the Mississippi,
he returned to West Feliciana
and occupied himself with sur
veying and planting. His last
public service was with Capt. J.
L. Bradford in 1875 on the bound.
airy line between the southeast
and southwest land districts ex-
tending from the Red River to
the Gulf of Mexico provided for
by Act of Congress. He served
many years as parish surveyor.
His wife died July 2, 1898 and
from that time he made his home
with his daughter, later his son,
Ryland, moving last fall to town
to the home of his son, J. Il. Per
cy' where he was tenderly cared
for during the months of declin-
ing health. Besides his skill and
usefulness as a civil engineer, to
which reference has been made,
Mr.. Percy had a bright and we'll
stored mind, and possessed a
fund of wide and varied inf0rma
ton, making him an interesting
companion, and on occasion a
graceful and pleasing writer-in
private correspondence.
He was a member of West
Feliciana Camp, 1893, U. G. V.
and he never lost his love for the
old flag under which he had seen
such strenuous service. His
children are Mrs. Matt Gilmore
of this parish, Clarence Percy
of Clinton, La, J. Hereford and
r. Ryland Percy of St. Francis,
vile, and Ex-S en- ator VIM. h.
Percy, of Minden, La.
To them, we extend sympathy
in the loss of their beloved father.
His body lies buried in Grace

wife, his parents and two of his
brothers, Thomas and Challle

tered into the practice in 1855
Sc, by joining party of U. S.
Deputy Surveyors. He was ex-
tensively employed in this pro-
fession the greater part of his
life, and was better posted in
land values and locations in this
and surrounding parishes than
any other man that could be men,
toned. In 1853, he was commits
stoned as deputy surveyor of
the public lands of the state. In
the fall of 1859, he began the
study of law in the office of Sam
