Pearl, a Spanish-American War veteran, died in the VA Hospital in Huntington. He had been a restaurant owner and car dealer.

He had lived shortly after the war in the home of Albert H. and Lucy Buck Smith of Marietta. Albert's mother Christiana Remmele Smith was a sister to Pearl's mother Rosanna Remley Shilling. When Albert's father John Smith died in Marietta, that cemetery plot was purchased by Ashland resident Charles A. Schmauch, who was son-in-law of the elder Smiths and brother-in-law of Albert Smith. The families visited each other. At one time, Louis Shilling and his father had lived in the Harmar section of Marietta, that had a large German community.

The Smith family visited Pearl during his short stay at the VA hospital.
