Percy was born to Elmer Russell and Julia Adelaide Stevens Harmon. He married Jennet Marion Smyth 8 July 1919 in Edmonton, Alberta Canada.

Percy joined the Canadian Overseas Expeditionary Force on 24 November 1916. He was living in Edmonton at the time of his enlistment. His trade of calling was steam engineer. He claimed on the document to have spent 3 previous years in the U.S. Calvary, however, no U.S. military records have been found. (When Percy died, he was interred in the Willamette National Cemetery in Portland only to be relocated at a later date to Azalea Garden Cemetery because he had no U.S. military affiliation)

Percy worked for the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway as an engineer and switchman. He traveled from Vermont to Alberta, Canada on a daily basis.

Percy and Jennet began their family in Edmonton and their first 4 children were born there. They moved to Saint Maries, Idaho where Percy worked in the forest logging and the next 5 children were born.

Percy and Jennet's 9 children were: Donald Percy, Guelda Winnefred, Nelda May, Margaret Georgiana, Elmer Russell, Dorothy Adelaide, Gerald Clifford, Robert William and Edward Samuel.
