Perry, said to be the last real son of the American Revolution, and himself a Civil war veteran, former Vermont legislator, practicing physician for half a century and a former Bennington county justice, died yesterday at the home for aged people conducted by Mrs. Lydia Brundige, at 1078 South Church street, this city. He was in his 88th year. Since 1916 Dr. Perry had made his home with his Daughter, Miss Grace Perry in Pittsfield but when his failing health required almost constant care early last summer he was taken back to Readsboro where he had practiced his profession for over 30 years. He was brought here about a week ago in order that he might have greater comfort and care during the winter months but he passed away quietly yesterday of complications due to advancing age.
