SSW: Lorinda H. - Research Note: Callaway Funeral Home records state that W. S. (Samuel W.) died on Nov. 28, 1906. He was retired and age 66 years, 20 months, 6 days old when he died. The cause of death was heart trouble. His birth date wasn't given nor were the names of his parents. The cemetery log book lists that he was a veteran. - Samuel W. Pierce, age 21, born Campton, Grafton, NH, son of Nathan and Permelia Pierce, married Lorinda H. Young, age 19, born Canaan, Somerset, ME, daughter of John and Martha Ann Young, on Nov. 16, 1861 in Manchester, Hillsborough, NH. - August 15, 1903, Saturday, Cassville Democrat - The case of State vs. S. W. Pierce of Monett, charged with selling liquors Sunday, in three cases was tried recently before Squire Lauderdale at Exeter. There was an acquittal in two cases and one conviction. An appeal was taken in this case. - Lee Hedges Notes: He was one of the volunteers for the 1st New Hampshire Regiment, Company C that fought in the Civil War against the Confederate Army for three months in 1861. After his service Samuel met and married his first wife Lorinda Hathren Young in New Hampshire on November 1861 after his short service in the war. They moved to Ascot, Sherbrooke Co, Quebec, Canada where they had a son born and died in 1863 (Walter Wesley Pierce d. March 16, 1863). Their daughter Ella Pamelia was born in 1868 in the same town. Samuel brought Ella to the Dakota Territory around 1883 to settle homestead land which they lived on for several years. After Ella met and married Norman Allen Sturgis while home steading in the Dakota Territory, they moved to Monett, MO and Samuel owned a hotel (Friscoe Hotel) in town and also owned a bar in Pierce City MO. Lorinda died in 1904 in Monett, MO and is buried with Samuel in the Monett Cemetery. Samuel later married Della Webb. He died in 1906 in Monett, MO and was buried in a large site with Lorinda. In his will, he left almost everything to his grandchildren (they had not been born yet, that made the will breakable). Della Webb was encouraged by lawyers to take everything, but she declined as Samuel had left her with money. This is the will that grandchildren Arthur, Cora and Mamie Sturgis shared, dividing the proceeds between the three families. Most of this inheritance came from the lands and inheritance that Hollis Hitchcock left Samuel in 1896. 1906 court probate papers show Mrs. Ella Sturgis was living in Tulsa, OK with Norman and Samuel Pierce had been living in Rolla MO. Ella would eventually die in 1914 during a visit to their daughter Cora in Chicago IL. By 1920 Norman was married to Lenia Smith as his second wife and living with her 14 year old son Lonard in Rolla MO. By 1930 he would move in with his daughter Cora until his death in 1931.

It was during this time at the local skating rink that she met and married her husband, Elmo.

They had two sons that died in infancy: Elmo L. Power, Jr. and John Robert Power. Two other sons, five grandchildren and several great-granchildren survive. Not long after Betty's husband started a sporting goods business, she became a fulltime mom as well as the bookkeeper for the business. They owned and operated Elmo's Sporting Goods, south of Monett, until 1972. They then moved to Eagle Rock, MO where they developed land (Elmo's Subdivisions) and sold real estate. During the last three months of Betty's life, she was cared for by her granddaughter whose selfless love is deeply appreciated. Buchanan Funeral Home

Powers died very suddenly Monday morning from heart failure. She, in company with her husband and Miss Fern Jones and Miss Bertha Jeffries, started to Picher, Okla., to visit Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Jones. As the train neared Pierce City, Mrs. Powers said: "I am blind," then lurched forward in the seat. She was taken off the train at Pierce City and Dr. Barnhill was summoned. A hypodermic injection of a stimulant failed to rouse her and she passed away without regaining consciousness. Mr. Powers, who is a mail clerk out of Springfield, had secured a lay off on account of ill health and he and his wife expected to visit for sometime with Mrs. Powers parents, Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Jones, at Picher. Mrs. Powers was apparently in excellent health and left Monett in a happy spirit. Her sudden passing away came as a great shock to the family and friends. Constance E. Jones was born at Monett, twenty-nine years ago and spent the most of her life at this place. She was married to Grover W. Powers several years ago and they continued to make their home here until about two years ago when he was transferred to St. Louis and from there to Springfield. She is survived by her parents, two sisters, Mrs. Leo Leckle, of St. Louis, and Miss Fern Jones, of Picher, Okla., and one brother, Fred Jones, who is in the 350th Infantry in France. Mrs. Powers was a favorite with everyone who knew her, being of a sunny, sweet disposition and great friendliness of manner. The funeral will be held at Monett, but arrangements have not yet been made as to the time and place. Death Certificate
