Minnie Pierce, daughter of A.C. Pierce, of Manitowoc Rapids, died at
that place yesterday of inflammation of the lungs.
Manitowoc Pilot Thursday, May 11, 1882
********
IN MEMORIAM
Brothers and sisters. The pleasant ties which have bound us together have
been severed in death. Our sister, Minnie Pierce, has been called unto rest.
Just entering into the fullness of womanhood and usefulness, we may not be
able to understand this event, for We see through a glass darkly: but we
do know that we love a hearty co-worker.
Sister Pierce was a lady of much promise, modest, retiring, never pushing
herself forward she was sought out. She was a genuine Good Templar: her faith
strong; her hope ardent in the good cause and her charity ever active in works
of love and words of sympathy. In her death we realize that another star in
our sky has set, but we feel confident that its benignant rays will continue
to cheer us in our work to bless the world, and stimulate us to higher thoughts
and nobler actions. By her death we are reminded anew that:
From life to death, from death to life,
We hurry round to God
And leave behind us nothing but
The path that we have trod.
Therefore your committee submit the following:
Received, that while we regret deeply that we shall see no more the face of our
sister in the Lodge, we bow in humble submission to the will of Him who has said
Him that overcometh will I give to drink of the water of life.
Resolved, that in our sorrow we unite with the family of our deceased sister and
in seeking consolation for ourselves would remember them. We tender them our
heartfelt sympathy and invoke Heavens blessing upon parents and friends.
Resolved that the lodge room be draped in mourning for thirty days.
Resolved that said preamble and these resolutions be placed upon the records and
a copy sent to the parents.
