"John E Pierce Dead
Early End of a Young and Promising Business Man
John E. Pierce, general superintendent of the World's Dispensary, and secretary of the Medical Association, died at four o'clock this morning of typhoid malarial fever, which he contracted while on a business trip to the west recently. He went to a number of western cities to make advertising contracts and fell ill when he reached Kansas City, some four weeks ago. Six or seven days later he had improved so much as to be able to return to his home in this city. He was quite sick until a few days ago, but recovered somewhat, so that on Saturday, July 9th, he was able to go to his office. Dr. R.V. Pierce, his brother, remonstrated with him to no result, and John stayed down street all day. After his return home he was attacked again by the disease, and remained in a very critical condition until death ensued.
John E. Pierce was born June 10th, 1857, and was, consequently, only 24 years of age. He was a graduate from the Central school, and had been in business with his brother for upward of five years. He was a bright, smart, energetic young business man, and it is sorrowing to think that his very promising life has been cut short at such an early period of its usefulness. Mr. Pierce had many sterling qualities of heart and mind, which endeared him to his numerous friends. A wife, to whom Mr. Pierce was married some two years ago, is left to mourn his loss.
The funeral will take place from the family residence, 841 Seventh street."

DEATH OF JOHN E. PIERCE - Mr. John E. Pierce, younger brother of the Hon. Ray V. Pierce, and for the past year General Superintendent of the World's Dispensary Medical Association, died at his home, No. 841 Seventh street, yesterday morning, after an illness of three weeks. A young man of marked ability and superior business qualifications, having the respect and esteem of all his large circle of acquaintances and friends, and with every prospect of a useful and honourable career before him, his loss will be deeply felt far outside of his own immediate family.
The deceased was born at Plum, Venango Co., Pa., June 10th, 1857. He came to this city in his youth, and for a time attended the Central School, afterward engaging in business with his brother and finally acting as General Superintendent of the Association in which responsible position he developed remarkable business tact, discharging his duties with perfect satisfaction to all. In this capacity he had charge of the Association's immense advertising interests, and so came to be known in nearly every city of the land. A few weeks ago he made a visit West, and after his return home went back again to Kansas City for the purpose of making there an investment in real estate. After being in that city a few days he was taken with malarial fever, but improved sufficiently to return home, and was able to visit his office so late as a week ago Saturday. After that his malady assumed a low typhoid form, and in spite of every remedy and attention he grew rapidly worse until death resulted. The deceased leaves a widow, formerly Miss Whitcher of this city. The funeral will take place from the family residence this afternoon at three o'clock. - Buffalo Express
