====== Ira Percival ======
Perhaps the most well-known of Orrin and Eliza Percival’s children was their third son, Ira, born in [[1839]].  Ira married Susan Jones, daughter of Sam Jones of Walton, in [[1859]] and began his own family.  He was a [[Farming|farmer]] and businessman, eventually buying the old Farmers Hotel on Main Street in [[Walton]] in [[1870]].  Renamed the [[Percival Hotel]], the building burned in a tragic fire in [[1871]].  Soon after the fire, Ira sold the property and moved his family to [[Union]], where he bought another hotel.

Ira died suddenly in [[1899]] of Bright’s Disease, the [[newspapers|newspaper]] account stated that he had hosted a [[Percival family|family]] reunion just a week before, seemingly in good health.
