The Cairo Messenger, Friday, March 26, 1915
Mrs. Mollie Pearce, widow of the late Wiley W. Pearce, died about eight o'clock 
Wednesday night at the home of her daughter, Mrs. J. H. Connell on North Broad 
St., after an illness of only a few hours' duration.  Her death came as a shock 
to the people of the community as few had learned of her sickness.  Mrs. Pearce 
was in apparently good health Wednesday morning and was seated at the breakfast 
table when suddenly attacked by a stroke of apoplexy.  Her condition grew worse 
and she succumbed to the disease.

Mrs. Pearce was a woman of deep consecration and her life of ministry has 
blessed and inspired those with whom she came in contact.

Prior to her marriage to Judge Pearce, she was Miss Molly Griffin.  Since the 
death of her husband she has made her home with her daughter, Mrs. Connell.

She is survived by the following children: Mrs. J. H. Connell, Mrs. R. L. 
Sutton, and Mr. M. Joe Pearce of Cairo and Mr. R. W. Pearce of Monticello, 
Fla., besides a number of grand-children and other relatives.

The funeral was held at the Poulk cemetery three miles northwest of town at 
3:30 Thursday afternoon and was conducted by Rev. W. L. Wright of the Methodist 
church assisted by Rev. W. C. Jones.  The following acted as pallbearesr: M. L. 
Ledford, F. A. Richter, J. L. Poulk, L. B. Powell, C. E. Mauldin and J. B. 
Crawford.
