Ross, Did anyone tell you where Pierceville, Iowa is??? I was just re-reading some of the mail and found your letter. We were told some time ago that my grandfather was born in Pierceville, Iowa and thought for a long time that it was in Fremont Co. Recently I began corresponding with an elderly gentleman who told me there was a little post office in Van Burn Co , between Bonapart and Hillsboro, I think. I have found it on an old map but can't find it right now. Anyway, some of my people were buried at Cantril Cemetary and Hoskins and Prall cemeteries. Perhaps you could check those to see if your people are there. Good luck, Helen Helen
