P. JEROME PIERCE
From Der Nord Westen, 16 Nov. 1905:
Former police chief P. Jerome Pierce died today after a long illness, and in his
memory the flags on the city buildings will fly at half-mast.
*******
From Der Nord Westen, 23 Nov. 1905:
P.J. Pierce, whose death we reported last week, was one of the first white
residents of our county, coming here as a boy in 1838 and lived here ever since.
He was born in the state of N.Y. in 1831. His father, Pliny Pierce, settled in
Town Manitowoc Rapids in 1837 when it was a total wilderness and sent for his
family to join him the following year.
As Mr. Pierce grew up he undertook several retail businesses in this vicinity.
He also interested himself in politics and was the 3rd postmaster of Manitowoc
Rapids, which at that time was the county seat, and later filled the office of
sheriff. In 1897 he was named police chief for Manitowoc and occupied that
office until Sep. of this year when illness forced his retirement.
Mr. Pierce leaves a widow and a son, Stanley.
The funeral was held Sun. afternoon.
