Tisdale Pierce
Well, today I found info done by a relative and I got one of the lines back to Rehoboth, MA, 1798! Here are some important notes including a newspaper article that mentions my father as a young child that I am sure he did not know about!
Found Ralph and Grace Anderson on Roots Web in a pedigree put together by a distant family member, must remember to Email her. Larry & Carolyn Anderson family cma50@msn.com. Found here the obituary of Ralph Ray Anderson, Sr. which included date of marriage for my grandparents, full names and their dates of birth and death. Must remember to stay focused on one thing at a time, though. It is all so fascinating.

Joseph Pierce
Joseph Pierce, son of Tisdale and Lorinda Pierce, was born at
Swansa, Mass., December 15, 1841 and died at his home in Council Grove,
Kansas, Saturday night, June 24, 1922 at the age of 80 years, 6 months
and 2 days. His father and mother departed this life when he was about
eight years old and he then made his home with his brother Hiram Pierce,
until he was about nineteen or twenty years of age.
When war was declared between the North and the South Mr. Pierce
responded to the first call given by Abraham Lincoln for soldiers. He
fought in many battles. He was in the Battle of Shiloh which was fought
April 6, 1862; the Battle of Fair Oaks which was fought October 27, 28,
1864 and the Battle of Gettysburg which was fought July 1-3, 1863.
Although thousands were killed all around this soldier for some reason
his life was spared. He was honorably discharged on the 28th day of
August 1865 from Company K 14th Infantry, Regiment of Maine.
After the war he came to Kansas where many were trying to make
fortunes and his first home in the state was in Topeka. He won the love
of Miss Maria Fix and on the 17th day of May, 1868, these young people
were united in marriage. They traveled about for a number of years,
enduring the many hardships of a pioneer's life. They finally settled
near Council Grove in the Field District in 1892 and have from then until
now made their home either in or near Council Grove.
Mr. Pierce leaves to mourn his loss his faithful wife and eight
children. Two children preceeded their father in death. There are 22
grand children and four great grand children.
Mr. Pierce was a member of the Church of the United Brethern in
Christ and attended faithfully until the building was moved from
Sampletown to East Main street. Because of the distance he was unable to
attend as he had when the building was near his home. He had great faith
in God and his love for the people of God increased with the years.
Funeral services were in charge of Elder B.N. Sypolt, assisted by
Rev. Cole of the U.B. Church, Tuesday a.m. at 10 o'clock, from the home
Interment was made in Four Mile cemetery.
