Peirce - Frank
Source: Crawfordsville Weekly Journal Friday, 2 June 1899
Some time ago Mrs. Lois Peirce Hughes, of Indianapolis, while going over some old papers came across an old bank book which had been the property of her brother, Frank, who died in 1880 while a mere child. The credits amounted to something over eight dollars and had been made shortly before his death. There were no withdrawals recorded so when Mrs. Hughes came to Crawfordsville she inquired at the First National Bank and found that the money was still there to the credit of Frank Peirce, having been there all these years. Frank, who will be remembered as a peculiarly bright and manly little fellow, had earned the money himself and was saving it for a fund with which to “set himself up in business.” -s
