James David Pierson James David Pierson, son of John A. and Mary Jane Pierson was born May 1, 1869 and departed this life December 15, 1944. Age 75 years, 8 months and 14 days. He professed faith in Christ about 20 years ago and was baptized into the fellowship of the Primitive Baptist Church at Ida. He married Fanny Renfro and four children were born to this union. Three of the children preceded him to the grave. In departing, he leaves one son, four brothers, two sisters, nine grand children and one great grand child to lament his passing, but doubtless, our loss in his Eternal gain. Sleep on, dear one, in the arms of Jesus until the dawn of that glorious Eternal Day and we will meet to never part again. Written by his niece, Lexie Pierson Jean Brand 2254 W.
