T. WEST

                   Perce left during the first World War and was in charge of training horses.
He was kicked in the abdomen by a horse and had his spleen removed.  He was a quinea pig as none of the other five spleen removal cases had lived for any length of time.  He required blood transfusions every 6 weeks to 3 months to maintain life.  If it was the right blood match all would be well; if not, he would die.  One doctor said that Aunt Lou dived on a powder keg for twenty years.  He worked with the Railroad company and was known as a gentle, kind person.  Not a 'mean bone' in his body.  He died at Toronto General Hospital  at 45 years old.  His wife, Lou, finished her days at 81 years in a nursing home in Rexdale still very much in love with her Percy.
