Daughter of A. & N. A. PIERCE. Death date May 12, 1860, but unable to read age as recorded by the "Botna Valley Genealogy Society" of Oakland, IA in 1982. (After using shaving cream on this old, old stone, I believe it says she was Born Sep 12, 1869 and Died July 27, 1870 Aged 10m and 14D. I believe this to be more correct than the BVGS interpretation.)
The 1860 Pottawattamie County, Iowa Census for Knox Township has an Alfred PIERCE, age 23, a farmer born in Ohio; Nancy A., age 20, a housewife born in Indiana; and George W., age 1, born in Iowa. Census was for information of persons living in a household on June 1, 1860.
The 1870 Pottawattamie County, Iowa Census for Knox Township has an Alfred PIERCE, age 33, a farmer born in Ohio; Nancy A., age 30, a housewife born in Indiana; and five children all born in Iowa: George W., age 10; Testimony, age 9, female; Matilda, age 7; Etha(?) G., age 3, female; Elbra(?), age 9/12, male. (The child named Elbra (?) at age 9/12, could it possibly be Ella?)
