DIR. PIERSON DEAD.
Another Pioneer SaCramentan JOINS
the Silent Majority.

DR.. H. H. Pierson, one of the pioneers
Of Sacramento passed away yesterday
evening at the age of II years.
DR.. Pierson was born in Cazenovia,
n. Y, and previous to coming to Cali
fornia he travelled extensively over the
world. He at one time lived in New
Orleans and came from that city to
California in 1850, just too late to be
eligible for membership in the Society
of Pioneers. He came here with DR..
Thomas, and they mined together at
first, and afterward carried on dentis-
try in partnership for number of
years.
He afterward entered into partner
ship with DR.. Light and later on with
DR.. Brewer. In 1870 he married Miss
Sadie Root Of Laporte, Ind. She died
in 1883, leaving him one daughter, Mel
lie, who survives him. He has several
brothers also in the Western States.
For the past year DR.. Pierson has
failed very fast. Dr. Thomas, with
whom he lived, has been unremitting
in his attention to him, but as his mind
became impaired he became very hard
to manage, and did many queer things.
He was finely educated and a great
reader, as well as being very fond
OF art and a great purchaser of
pictures. Of a peculiar disposition, his
private charities were large, although
little known, and many a poor man in
this city will regret his death.
The funeral will take place from the
Masonic Temple tomorrow at D. m.
and Will be under the auspices of Sac
ramento Lodge, No. 40. F. and A. NJ,
OF which he was one Of the earliest
members. He was also a charter mem
