According to family verbal history, two of my gg grandfather's brothers, named Mort (Morris) and Jack (John), moved to St.Louis to seek their fortunes, and have not been heard of again. I'd be interested to know if anyone in St. Louis is researching PIERCE in that area. They would have arrived there in the early 1900s, as they were both in Chicago for the 1900 census.
