Percy Dadisman was the son of George William Dadisman & Martha "Mattie" Strother. Percy had one sister, Ada b. 1887 who died very young before 1900.
Percy married Flora Alice Colebank on August 17, 1922. They had 3 children, Lawrence Dale, Martha Jane & Evelyn Joyce, all now deceased.
During WWI, Percy, a United States Marine, was gassed in the trenches of France. The Mustard Gas damaged his lungs and he was diagnosed with tuberculosis in 1929. He was sent to the VA Sanatorium in Tucson in hopes of regaining his health in the dryer climate. Shortly thereafter Alice and the children followed him, moving to Tucson in a Model A Ford.
The Dadisman family lived at 322 N. Forgeus Avenue in Tucson. It was in their home 10 years later that Percy died, according to his Death Certificate. By all accounts, Percy was considered a good man, a good friend and a kind and loving husband and father.

An Ode to Percy by R.W.S.
(P) is for perfect "almost but not quite"
(E) is his earnest and business like air, when matters important are left in his care
(R) is rigorous, athletic and strong; always ready with a jest or a song
(C) is chivalrous, respectful to all, anytime or place where occasion may call
(Y) is for yearning as he always is,for knowledge concerning his Country's biz
(D) is for daring in times of great danger, in protecting a friend or even a stranger
(A) is admired by all to whom known, for his deeds of bravery in battle shown
(D) is for drastic measures he'll take, to shake the lurking Hun from off his wake
(I) is for intelligent, witty and quick to send a reply if it be by a brick
(S) is for short his sentence may be
(M) is for Marine, his title in war, but gladly he dropped it when war was o'er
(A) is for artful in writing and speech, a credit to what his teachers did teach
(N) is for nice and pleasant his ways, may he have success through all of his days
