The Belding Banner-News, Wednesday, December 22, 1920

The following article taken from the Rochester (Michigan) Era will inform many 
of the deceased’s friends of his death.  Mr. Pierce was a former resident of 
this city, being a member of the class which graduated from the local high 
school in 1890.

Mr. Edwin Ralph Pierce died at his home at Hamlin’s, two miles south of this 
city, Monday afternoon Nov. 15th.  He had only lived here three years, but so 
far as he had become acquainted he made a very favorable impressions as a 
gentleman of fine character and scholarly attainments.  He was by profession 
an engineer draftsman and had been connected as such with the General Motors 
Company, the Detroit Ship building Company and the Northern Engineering Works, 
as their chief draftsman.

Mr. Pierce was a native of Michigan, having been born and reared near 
Greenville and a graduate of the Michigan Agricultural engineering department, 
which has turned out so many men of high class in the manufacturing and 
industrial lines of this country.  His death at the early age of 48 cut short 
a useful and very promising career in this professional line, and will be 
regarded as untimely by a large range of business acquaintances in Pontiac and 
Detroit.

He leaves a widow to mourn her loss in the beautiful home they had so 
carefully prepared for themselves at Hamlin’s.  The funeral was from the 
residence and the burial at Oxford, Thursday afternoon.
