- In Memoriam
Hershel Dale Pierce son of Mr. and Mrs. O.B. Pierce was born in Arcanum, Ohio January 5, 1884 and departed this life March 6, 1916 at his parents home in Arcanum, Ohio, age 32 years and two months.
He spent his boyhood days in Arcanum and on October 22, 1905 was married to Miss Marie Morris.
He leaves to mourn his loss his beloved wife, mother, father, one brother, one sister, many relatives and a host of friends. He was an unusual fellow, clean in his habits, always kind, loving, cheerful, and thoughtful of others. One shoes life could be an example for any one.
He lived in West Manchester the first five years of his married life and from there went to Dayton where he accepted a position at the National Cash Register. Since the flood of 1913 his health began to fail and on December 3, 1915 he quit work and as he said “was coming home to die.”
He was confined to his bed only five weeks and all the tender care given him by loving hands could not prolong his life but as he always said, “everything was alright” and when the end came he peacefully slept away. He died as he lived.
For several days he was tired and longed for rest. May he find sweet and peaceful rest in the arms of the sympathetic “Comforter” who said “Come unto me all ye who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest.”
A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled,
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.
God in his wisdom has recalled
The boon his love had give
And though the body moulders there
His soul is safe in heaven.
