This community has faded from modern-day maps of Iowa. Charles was a member of the Knights of Pythias and Odd Fellows Lodges at Lamoni, Iowa. Both he and his wife were members of the Baptist Church at Tuskeego, Iowa. Charles died in Leon, IA. Charles R. Piercy has resided in Bloomington township since 1878 and owns a valuable farm of four hundred and thirty-seven acres on sections 9 and 10. He was born in this county on the 1st of December, 1870, a son of James W. and Amelia Ann (Barnard) Piercy. The paternal grandparents were reared and married in Kentucky, whence they removed to Illinois in an early day in the history of that state. In 1856 they came to Decatur county, Iowa, and the grandfather, Nathan Piercy entered land near Lamoni in both New Buda and Fayette townships. He subsequently traded that farm which is now known as the old Creveling place and is owned by Clem Creveling and resided during his last years in the vicinity of Leon. Charles R. Piercy was reared in this county and attended the public schools in the acquirement of his education. He was early trained to agricultural pursuits and since reaching mature years has devoted his entire attention to the work of the farm. Since 1878 he has resided in Bloomington township and, although he had no capital when he began his independent career, his resources have since constantly increased and he now owns four hundred and thirty-seven acres of excellent land on sections 9 and 10. For twenty-one seasons he has operated a threshing machine and is still engaged in that business. He has succeeded in every enterprise that he has undertaken because he is energetic, determined and systematic, and prosperity is his just reward. In 1893 occurred the marriage of Mr. Piercy and Miss Luella Ashburn, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Monroe Ashburn, who are still living at Lamoni. Mrs. Piercy was born and reared in Bloomington township, where her father owns a large farm. Mr. and Mrs. Piercy have become the parents of five children, of whom one daughter died when two years old. Those who survive are: Mrs. Ruth A. Ventling, who resides near Davis City, Iowa; James M., at home; Mrs. Golden Hair McGehuey, who resides near Lamoni; and Inez, at home. Mr. Piercy is a Democrat and has taken quite a prominent part in local public affairs. For four years he was township clerk and he was twice his party's candidate for county sheriff. Although in each case his opponent was a very popular man, he ran ahead of his ticket about six hundred votes. He is well known in local fraternal circles, as he holds membership in the Knights of Pythias and Odd Fellows lodges at Lamoni. Both he and his wife belong to the Baptist chm-ch at Tuskeega and the work of that organization profits by their cooperation and material support. His sterling qualities of character and his business ability have gained him the respect and esteem of his fellow citizens and there are many who hold him in warm regard.
