As on that day, August 11, 1910, not quite a year ago, when the sudden passing of John F. Pierce was announced, the people of this community were greatly shocked, so also did the death of his widow, Mrs. Alice R. Pierce, come with a shock to her many friends.
Mrs. Pierce was born on July 20 1954, and died suddenly on July 3rd, 1911, from apoplexy. She was united in marriage with John F. Pierce on January 18, 1874 (other sources show Nov 18), and was a pioneer of southeast Clay township. Her parents located in the timber on the homestead where she died, and here a farm was "cleared" and added to and they became known as among our most prosperous class of farmers. Here they reared a family, eight children being born to them all of whom are living, namely: Chas S., Rockport, Lon J., Pittsburg, Pa; Mrs. Geneva A. Vogel, of Valentine, NE: Venus V. of Pittsburg; Pa.; Zane F. and Reno M., of Rockport; Mrs. Charlotte M. Raubach, of Valentine, NE., and Sallie V., of Rockport.
Funeral services were held at the home on July 5th, conducted by Elder D. M. Phillippi. The remains were laid to rest in Hunter cemetery by the side of those of her husband and parents.
Mrs. Pierce was a faithful and fond mother. Well may her children cherish her memory as a precious legacy, and we would point them to the promise. "At eventide it shall be light."
