PIERCE, Edward

Source: Greencastle Star 23 Oct 1880 p 8

The Cloverdale Courier notices a well-mated married couple residing here, as follows: In Greencastle resides a colored man named Edward Pierce who is 75 years old and weighs 120 pounds.  His wife is only 28 years of age and kicks the beam at 331. How is that for incompatibility? Mr. Pierce says he was a slave in the state of Georgia for a number of years and that his progenitor was a southern slaveholder.
