Death of Mr. Cato Pierce

The many friends of Mr. Cato Pierce will regret to learn of his death, which 
occurred at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Minnie Lee Scarbrough near 
Preston, in Webster County last Wednesday of typhoid fever.  His remains were 
brought to Talbot County and interred in the Steed cemetery, the funeral 
service conducted by Rev. J.W. Arnold.

Mr. Pierce, during the active part of his life, was a citizen of Taylor County 
and resided at what is known as the “Pierce Farm” located nine miles southwest 
of Butler and his home surrounded by a beautiful flower garden, filled with 
rare and choice flowers was the scene of many bright and happy festive 
occasions.

Mr. Pierce was a lifelong member of the Missionary Baptist Church.  He was 
bright, cheerful and genial in his nature and took a special delight in making 
bright and happy the lives of others and especially the young people.  He is 
survived by nine children and many warm friends who mourn their loss.
