Died, at Pleasant Grove, Olmstead Co.[sic], Minn., on the 24th of April, 1877, Bro. Oliver W. Pierce, only son of Eld. Stephen Pierce, aged 31 years, 11 months, and 4 days. He had been suffering for several months, under a complication of diseases, which baffled all medical skill.
He was converted at the age of 11 years, and ever lived a quiet, consistent, Christian life. It was his earnest daily prayer, that he might be resigned to the will of God, whether it be to live or die. He left a faithful and loving wife [Jane Doty Pierce], his aged father, and one sister, to mourn his early death. But they mourn not as others, which have no hope, for they believe that God, who brought again our Lord Jesus Christ from the dead, will bring him "from the land of the enemy," when "Christ, who is our life, shall appear."
Bro. Pierce was a faithful, efficient member of the Stewartsville church [Seventh-day Adventist], and had been for the last two years clerk of the Minn. Conference. A large and appreciative congregation gathered at his funeral on the 26th. Sermon by the writer, from Prov. 14: 32.
