Surnames: Pierce Classification: Death Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ok.2ADE/2018.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Marvin: I assume you meant the 1905 death of a Pierce male? My various notes were taken over a stretch of about 55 years, so I can only guess as to where that one came from: From the Fremont county death records that were sent to Des Moines for permanent recording...If had been from a newspaper notice, it is pretty certain that the parents would have been shown...If it were from an obituary of a parent, I'd have known who the parents were...If this death had been recorded in a cemetery book, I would not have kept it...That only leaves Des Moines.--Walter
