was made last winter. Failure at thai

James A, Pierce,


The death of James A. Pierce, the
honored father of the publisher OF the
BANNER, this afternoon. was not une1-
pected, his condition having been con
sidered critical for some days; and in
deed there was very little hope at any
time during his illness.
Mr.. Pierce was born in Westmoreland,
N. H. (where he has brother still liv.
ing). in June, 1918, and during greater
portion of his more active years resided
on the east side of the Green Mountains.
He was for time the proprietor Of
the Vanderlip House at Manchester. and
sold that famous hostelry to the man
whose name it bore for so many years.
When the New England railways were
built, especially the leading lines in
Vermont and New Hampshire, he was
foreman of sections on the Rutland
above Bellows Falls, at the point of the
"Rock cut;" had similar job on the
Cheshire, and was contractor in the
of the Vermont Valley
line. He was the man under whose di-
rection the system Of piles at Northamp-
ton, Mass, made possible the railroad
construction at that point.
In connection with his sons, Charles
A. and Everett W., he has been known
in Bennington county's publishing bus
mess Stree 1862, although most of the
time retired from business on his own
account, first with the Journal and
later with this paper. These relations
brought him into personal contact with
many of our citizens, and his pleasant
greeting (partaking Of the old school of
will now be recalled as an
agreeable memory by those who hear Of
his decease.
The obsequies will be held to morrow
and the interment will be in
the family lot at Brattleboro on Satur-
day. His second wife survives him.
