Pierce has been married twice, the
first time at the age of 10. her hus-
band being Thomas Scollay. Their
daughter, Rosetta Mae, married Bert
Perkins of Boothbay Harbor. a
daughter of this marriage was we'd
ded TO Earl Murray of Boothbay Har-

was born TO them and named Rosetta
Mae in honor of her grandmother who
died nearly year ago. Mrs. Pierce,
by her second marriage with Thomas
Pierce, is the mother of two sons and
one daughter, all of Bath. She is in
remarkably good health and all of ner
children are strong and healthy. She
