    Death of Mrs J. W. Piercy
    Denman Island, Sep 18 -- The death of Mrs J. W. Piercy has caused quite a gloom over this sequestered isle.  The lady was well known and her bright and cheerful disposition endeared her to a host of friends.  She leaves a bereaved husband and four small children, also father and mothers, brothers and several disters and other relatives.  Mrs Piercy was only in her thirty-second year and her death at this early age is deeply mourned by all.
    The funeral, which was largely attended, took place from thehome of Mrs Piercy's mother at Denman Island on Tuesday, the Rev. J. Rowland officiating.  There were many floral tributes.

    Copied from newspaper obituary - 1922:
    Denman Island Funeral
    The funeral of the late Mrs James Piercy was held on Tuesday afternoon  from the family residence to the Denman Island Cemetery, the remains being followed to their last resting place by a large number of sorrowing and sympathetic friends of the family.  The late Mrs Piercy came to the Island fourteen years ago with her parents from the Orkney Island, and besides her parents is survived by four sisters: Mrs John Wood, Mrs A. J. Swan, Mrs Francis Graham and Mrs James Roberts, and two brothers.  The service at her late home and at the graveside was conducted by the Rev. Mr Rowland, of Union Bay.  A favorite hymn of the deceased, "Lead Kindly Light," was sung at the Church.

    He second married Jean Stuart Morrison Morgan. Born 27 Nov 1898.
