Interment was in the South cemetery and pallbearers were L. A. Bunker, H. C. Garretson, W. C. Savage and Ralph Tyner. Elizabeth Pierce, daughter of Rev. Ozro and Jane Hotchkiss French, was born in Harpersfield, New York, April 17, 1850 and passed away at her home in Salem, Iowa, March 29, 1938 aged 87 years, 11 months and 18 days. Her parents came to Bentonsport, Iowa in 1851 to begin ministry in several Iowa Churches. Part of her education was secured at the Denmark Academy. She was united in marriage to Griffith R. Pierce of Blairstown, Iowa, February 7, 1887. Mr. Pierce preceded her in death in 1915. To this union were born three sons, Robert F., who passed away in 1918; Ira of Iowa City; and Llewellyn of Salem. Besides these two sons, she leaves to mourn her passing, her sister, Miss Mary French of Salem; five grandchildren and one great-grandchild, nephews, nieces and a host of friends. Born of parents who had recently been forced by ill health to give up missionary service in India, she was filled with their intense zealousness that the Gospel should be preached to every human soul. When the family moved to Salem in 1895 and her husband entered the drug business, they transferred their membership to the Congregational church, where she has remained a faithful member of the church. She has ever had a particular interest in its missionary activities in India, Africa and among the Negroes of the Southland, maintaining correspondence with several of the missionaries. She was also devoted to the cause of temperance being a member of long standing, in the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union. The family wish to thank the many friends for their sympathy and assistance at the illness and burial. Mary A. French, Mr. and Mrs. Ira H. Pierce Llewellyn Pierce
