The son of David Frederick Percy and Abigail Woodman. They lived in Watertown, Jefferson Co., New York. He was about 7 or 8 when his parents died. Addison married Harriet E. Bloodough on 24 Nov 1881 in Clinton, Jefferson County, New York. Harriet used her nickname "Hattie" that she preferred at that time when they got married at the home of her father. Their ceremony was officiated by Rev. S. M. Wam. They had six sons named John Ward, Robert Ray, Harold Seymour, Hubert Glenn, Leslie Merton and David Lawrence. Addison was shown as a Sailor in the 1880 US census, and was shown as a House Carpenter on US census records for 1900, 1910 and 1920. Notice there is a discrepancy in birth year: His obituary shows that he was born on 8 Sep 1858 but his headstone shows the birth year of 1857.
Obituary: A. E. PERCY, 67. LONG ILL DIES
PASSES AWAY AT FAMILY HOME, 308 GALE STREET
IN FAILING HEALTH TWO YEARS
Deceased, a Boatbuilder By Trade, Was Born at Cape Vincent--Moved to This City 23 Years Ago.
Addison E. Percy, 67, 306 Gale street, who had been in failing health for the past two and a half years, died at his home this morning at 1:30. For the past four weeks Mr. Percy had been confined to his bed. Death was due to complication of diseases.
Mr. Percy, who was a boatbuilder by trade, spent his early life along the St. Lawrence river. He was born at Cape Vincent Sept. 9, 1958, a son of the late David and Abigail Percy. He received his education in the rural schools near his home and after completing his education he worked on his father's farm for a short time.
It was shortly after that Mr. Percy moved to Clayton, where he learned the boat building trade. He was employed in several of the large boat building establishments along the river and helped construct some of the largest and most expensive boats that were used by summer vacationists at the Thousand Islands. About 23 years ago he moved to this city with his family.
He married Miss Harriet E. Bloodough of the town of Lyme about 44 years ago. She survives. After coming to this city Mr. Percy was engaged as a carpenter. He retired about three years ago.
Mr. Percy was an attendant at the Bethany Methodist Episcopal church.
Besides his widow, Mrs. Harriet Bloodough Percy of this city, he is survived by six sons, J. Ward, Robert R., Harold S., Hubert G., Leslie M., and David L. all of this city; six grandchildren, Kenneth, Lyle, Earl, Kathelen, Carol and John all of this city and two brothers, Robert H. Percy of this city and Benson A. of Sterlingville.
The funeral service will be held Thursday afternoon at 10 from the late home. Rev. E. O. Spavin, pastor of Bethany Methodist Episcopal church, will officiate. Interment will be made in North Watertown cemetery.
