from Notable Men of Tennessee vol. 2:
William Armstrong Percy, attorney, of Memphis, Tenn, was born in Washington County, Miss., Jan 24 1863, where his father was a farmer. He attended the country schools in his earlier years, entered the University of the South, at Sewanee, Tenn, and in 1882 graduated with the degree of M.A. He then entered the law department of the University of Virginia, from which he graduated in 1884. In the following January he located in Memphis and opened a law office, and has practiced there continuously from that time to the present. Politics have little attraction for him, and he takes very little part in political affairs. he affiliates with the Episcopal church but belongs to no secret order, although a man of fine social qualities and charitable instincts.
