General Notes: Husband - Amos McKillip Pierce, M.D.

---

After his mother's death, he made his home with his grandfather, Dr. Amos Pierce, and after completing a preparatory course began the study of medicine with Dr. J. K. Van Kirk, of Elizabeth, remaining with him two years. He then entered Jefferson Medical College, of Philadelphia, graduating during the centennial year, 1876; then located in West Elizabeth, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, and engaged in the practice of his profession; was also interested in the manufacture of brick. [HAC 1889 ii, 459]

He was born in Watertown, Washington County, Ohio. He was very young when he was taken to the farm of his grandfather in Jefferson township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, and there attended the district school, and later studied at Mount Union College. He then commenced reading medicine in the office of Dr. J. K. Van Kirk, and finally matriculated at Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, from which he was graduated in the class of 1876 with the degree of Doctor of Medicine. He at once commenced his medical practice at West Elizabeth, Pennsylvania, where he was located for a period of thirty-eight years or more, and won not alone the confidence of his numerous patients, but their sincere affection as well.
He was a Republican in political matters, and served as a member of the council of West Elizabeth, and of the school board for twenty years, and was president of the local board of health. He also acted as United States pension examiner. He and his wife were members of the United Presbyterian Church, in which he was an elder for a quarter of a century. He was a member of the Allegheny County Medical Society, the American Medical Association and the McKeesport Academy of Medicine. In 1900 he erected a fine brick residence for himself in West Elizabeth. [GPHWP, 841]
