The Ionia Sentinel-Standard, Thursday, July 1, 1937
Percy Churchill, 62, died at his home, 111 Rich Street, Wednesday evening at 5 
o’clock from a stroke.  He had been ill with arthritis for the past 15 weeks, 
but seemed to be improving and was even well enough to work for a few days 
each week.  On Wednesday morning he had been feeling well and painted the 
porches of the house.

He was born January 13, 1874, in Orange township on the farm where Zenas 
Badder now lives.  He was the son of pioneer parents, Otis and Rosetta 
Churchill, who settled in Ionia County, Orange Township, after coming to 
Michigan from Medina, New York.

He received his barber training in a Chicago school, and was in the barbering 
business in Ionia for 33 years, 31 of them in a shop in Main Street.  Two 
years ago he moved to the present location, a shop in the Elks temple building 
on Steele St.  

He was married December 15, 1918 to Maiziebelle Terry, daughter of Mr. and 
Mrs. Samuel L. Terry, and they had lived since at the same residence, 111 Rich 
Street.

Surviving are his wife, Maiziebelle, one son, Winston, who is now a sophomore 
in the Ionia high school; two sisters, Mrs. Ella Paine of St. Petersburg, 
Fla., and Mrs. Ida Deline of Pontiac.

Remains will be at the home, 111 Rich Street, until Friday noon when they will 
be removed for the funeral service to be held Friday afternoon at 2 o’clock 
from the Stone funeral home on East Washington street, with Elder B. P. 
Williams of Grand Rapids officiating.  Burial will be at Keefer cemetery.
