Plant---Funeral
at Baptist Church Tuesday
Morris, Jan. 27---Clarence J. Pierce, 33, one of the
most respected citizens of Morris, died Sunday morning at 10:35 as
result of injuries received in an accident at the Tractor plant three
years ago last November.
Following injuries he was in the Fox Memorial
hospital nearly four months, after which he was able to return home,
but was frequently subject to severe headaches causing intense
suffering, which he bore with the utmost patience and cheerfulness.
The deceased was born in the town of Laurens,
December 20, 1898, the youngest son of Edwin and Francelia Pierce.
On June 21, 1919, he was married to Miss Mabel Colburn, youngest
daughter of the late Starr and Emma Colburn, and most of his life was
spent on the farm of his father-in-law up to the time he commenced
working at the Tractor plant, where his accident occurred while
working overtime the first day he was thus employed.
Mr. Pierce was a sincere Christian man, loved and
respected by all who knew him. He was a member of the Morris Baptist
church in which he took an active interest and where he will be
greatly missed.
Besides his wife and daughter, Virginia, aged three
years, he is survived by two brothers, Charles, Cleveland, O., and
Ira of Otego and two sisters, Mrs. William Crawford, also of Otego,
and Miss Rose Pierce of Binghamton.
The funeral was held at the Baptist church on Tuesday
afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, preceded by a prayer at 2 o'clock at his
late residence on West street. Rev. O. B. Hill of West Oneonta
officiated.
