John Earnest "Coot" Pearce was known for his honesty and for his devotation to family.
Born in Brown County Texas... "Coot" was raised near Brooksmith in a three room house and attended school in Dullin. After his father's death in 1934 he remained at home and supported his mother until she died in 1950. After his mother's death he assisted in raising four nieces and one nephew.
He married Odie Ellsworth on September 14, 1970 at the age of 65. "I was grown," he said.
"Coot" was born the grandson of the late W.Y. Pearce who served as sheriff of Brown County from 1890-93. He won the election with 574 votes.
"Coot" was an active participant in the annual Brown County
Rodeo parade. He would put his horse "Shortie" through the paces during the grand entry.
"Coot" enjoyed telling stories about his life and work. He told one about riding a burro into the two room school house at Dullin- "right upon the stage." School turned out early on that day in 1920.
Although the town of Dullin is gone, with only a windmill and some stones remaining, "Coot" and his memories will never be forgotten.
Coot was a wonderful person, loved by family and friends. Respected by his community.
