Ledger of Accounts between Percy W. Decker and others at Catskill
Item — Container: Manuscript Shelves
Identifier: MV 1714
Scope and Contents
Ledger contain several different accounts held by Percy W. Decker, an attorney from Catskill. Of note in the first half of the ledger is an account of the boarding of Mr. Walton Van Loan and Wife at 11 Prospect Ave. as part of the terms of a Bond and Mortgage, as well as a description in part of the Van Loan's social itinerary. While the reason for such accounting is somewhat unclear it is possible that the Van Loans sold their home to Mr. Decker and as part of an agreement maintained rooms in the home after passing title to him. Percy Decker is listed as residing at Prospect Avenue in 1914. The latter portion of the Ledger contains taxes and maintenance expenses paid by Percy Decker for various properties in Athens, Cairo, and Catskill which he apparently owned.
