Obituary: The death of Mr. Philip P. Pearson closed the career of one who belonged to a family well known in South Carolina. He was the son of the late John H. Pearson, who was a prominent citizen of Richland district. Mr. Pearson was in his forty-eighth year. Receiving his early education in Columbia, he entered the Confederate service in 1864, as lieutenant in Co. K, Third regiment of State troops, commanded by Col. A. D. Goodwyn. He afterwards served a while in the navy, but soon returned to his former command. After the war, he removed to St. Louis, Mo., where he very successfully engaged in mercantile pursuits. He leaves his widow and one child. The funeral services will be held in Elmwood cemetery at 5:30 o'clock this afternoon. [The State, Columbia, South Carolina, Monday, March 16, 1896, Page 8]
Also sent by Mr. Daniell: The memorial lists his birth in 1844, but the year is not legible on the headstone. His sister, Agnes Wallace Pearson Macbeth, was born in 1844, but they are not twins. She is age 5 and he age 2 on the 1850 census; likewise, she is age 15 and he is age 12 in the 1860 census. In 1870 Philip resides in the home of his sister, Agnes Pearson Macbeth, age 25; he is age 22. In 1880, Philip is listed as age 34. Evidently, he was born about 1847 or 1848, not 1844.
His death certificate found on Ancestry.com lists his cause of death as Lymphoma (pseudoleukemia). It does not give a date of birth but lists his age as 47. He died at 3742 Olive Street.
