      Percy C. Peterson 88, of Lady Lake, Fla., formerly of Topsfield, died June 30, 2004. He was the husband of the late Lillian (Call) Peterson.

      Born in Lynn, April 13, 1916, Mr. Peterson was the son of the late Cecil Edmund and Emma (Banks) Peterson.

      He was raised and educated in the city of Lynn. As a child he moved to Danvers and was a graduate of the former Holten High School Class of 1934.

      Mr. Peterson had worked for many years as an accountant for the H. Newton Marshall Company in Boston until the time of his retirement in 1978.

      He was a longtime member of the Maple Street Congregational Church in Danvers and often played the piano and organ at the church. He was a long time resident of the town of Topsfield.

      Mr. Peterson was actively involved with the reunion committee for Holten High School, in which he was the chairperson for the Class of 1934's 70th reunion.

      He is survived by four sons, Bruce and Nancy Peterson of Danvers, Russell Peterson of Reading, Douglas Peterson of Springfield and Donald and Linda Peterson of Rockledge, Fla.; four grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; two sisters, Eleanor Cash of Marblehead and Barbara Clay of Beverly; one brother, Cecil Peterson of Asheville, N.C.; and several nieces and nephews.

      His funeral service was held July 28 from the McElroy Chapel of the Maple Street Congregational Church, Danvers. Burial was in Walnut Grove Cemetery, Danvers. Assisting the family with the arrangements was the Peterson-O'Donnell Funeral Home of Danvers.
