Percy played Piano, wrote Poetry. She is buried at Beauvior Confederate Cemetery, in a unmarked grave just North of her Brother James and her Mother Kate. I told the librarian/historian at Beauvior about her grave. But she seemed to not want to know about it, as though she shouldn't be in there.
Brother: James DuGue Ferguson.
