William Henry had a prior marriage to Lula Mayfield in 1898 in Proctor, Oklahoma, and they had at least three children Ulysses Grant believed to have been born in 1905, died june 1965, Alpha Pierce-Todd, believed to have been born in 1907? died 1999?, and Leonard Mack born in April 11,1913 in Fogle Oklahoma and died April 11,1983 in Temple Texas. Lula Mayfield died in 1915. William Henry Pierce was born 5/17/1878 and died 2/15/1975. His parents were C.B. and Martha Ann Pierce. According to his obituary, he was preceded in death by three sons and two daughters, however, of the children listed above, only one was deceased in 1975, so there are four children whose names are un! known. Also, his obituary stated that he was preceded in death by two brothers and two sisters, and survived by one sister, Mrytle Osborn of California. William Henry and Dora moved to Cushing Oklahoma in 1941. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks, Melissa
