News has been received of the death, in Paris Saturday, of Mr. Perry Tiffany, a son of the late George Tiffany, who for many years was a summer resident of Newport. He had long resided at 150 Rue de la Universitie.
He is survived by
his widow, who was Miss Olive W. Thompson,
and a sister,
Miss Jane Perry Tiffany of Cazenovia, who is now in Paris.
Mr. Tiffany came of a distinguished ancestry, his mother having been a sister of Commodore Matthew Calbraith Perry, U.S.N., who opened ports of Japan to American trade, and a sister of the elder Mrs. August Belmont. He was a cousin of Messrs. August and Perry Belmont. He was a member of the Rhode Island Society of the Sons of the Revolution. A brother, Lieutenant William Tiffany, was an officer in the Rough Riders and died from the effects of exposure shortly after the Spanish-American war, and a younger brother was drowned off the Forty Steps, many years ago. His father and mother occupied for many years the residence at the corner of Narragansett avenue and Clay street, known as "Gravel Court." She died 14 years ago.
Mr. and Mrs. Tiffany spent the war years in France doing work for the French Red Cross and the British canteens long before the United States joins the Allies. After the war, they went to Dutch Guiana, where Mr. Tiffany had large ? interests and they also visited America. Most of the time since the war they had spent in Paris. There are no children.
The body of Mr. Perry will be brought here for the interment in the Perry circle in the Island cemetery, where Commodore Matthew C. Perry, and members of the Perry, Tiffany and Belmont families, are buried.
