The deceased passed quietly away yesterday morning at 8:25 o'clock in the presence of his family. The immediate cause of his death is attributed to the severe strain recently received while lifting, which is supposed to have caused a rupture of a blood vessel that terminated fatally as above mentioned. Mr. Terry had he lived until next October would have arrived at the age of 74 years.
The deceased was born in Simsbury, Conn. October 23, 1819. He came west in 1846, locating at Granville, where he taught school for several years. Returning to Simsbury in 1851 he married Miss. Lucy Jane Weston on March 14,1851 who survives him.

During their residence there Charles Terry, their first child, was born. Mr. Terry again removed to the west, locating with his family at Attica, in 1853, where he again embarked in the drug business, and here it was that he amassed the greater part of his present fortune. He remained in Attica pursuing his chosen avocation until 1864, when he removed to W. Lafayette, where he has since resided. During their residence at Attica three children were born, Frank, William and Jennie. Moving to Lafayette in the month of April, in the year above mentioned, he entered into a partnership with a Mr. Mc Murtry, locating on the east side of the Ankeny jewelry store, where he remained until the drug firm of Terry, Jennings and Harvey was formed. The new firm locating near the corner of Main and Fifth streets, the room now occupied by the Patton's as a stove store, selling out early in 1870.
Mr. Terry, owing to ill health, retired from business, giving his remaining attention to farming on the Wea on a large plat of ground that he inherited from his father, the land having come into the family through his brother, Samuel Terry who received it as a land grand from the government in 1825. Mr.Terry shortly after retiring from business purchased the present site of the old homestead in 1871, and has resided in West Lafayette ever since. The deceased, while not a member of any church, was especially noted for his high integrity of character and many Christian virtues. Having lived an upright life, possessing the highest nobility of character, and raising a family respected and honored by all who know them, he passed silently and contentedly to the reward, having "fought a good fight and kept the faith". His wife and children, Charles, Frank, William and only daughter Jennie (Mrs. William Whitsel) survive him, his being the first death in the family in forty years.
The funeral services will occur at the family residence on Sheetz street tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev's. Graham and Drake officiating.
