PIERSON - Many Victor friends have been saddened this week, by the news of the death of Samuel D. PIERSON, of Geneva, which occurred on Tuesday, April 28th, at Vergennes, Vermont, where he had been staying for some time for the benefit of his health. Mr. PIERSON had been in poor health for some time and had been away from Geneva, during the winter, a part of the time at Atlantic city, but his friends did not know that his condition was serious and the news of his death came as a shock. Mr. PIERSON was a son of Rev. Job PIERSON, who was pastor of the Victor Presbyterian church from 1856 until 1863. Although but a young man at that time, he conceived a deep attachment for Victor and always retained a deep interest in the town and in the church of which his father was pastor. At different times he made financial contributions to the church. He greatly enjoyed attending bazaars and other entertainments given under the auspices of the church and at these times his purse strings were never tied. Mr. PIERSON was a man of genial manner, dignified in appearance and he made friends wherever he went. He was a successful business man, had many Geneva interests, being at the time of his death, President of the J. W. Smith Dry Goods Company of that city, a director of the Geneva Cutlery Company, the Empire Coke Company and the First National Bank of Geneva. Mr. PIERSON was one of the founders of the Geneva Savings Bank. In early life he studied law, but practiced little and his early activities were in lumber camps in Michigan. Mr. PIERSON'S mother, was Miss Rachel W. SMITH of Geneva, who was married to the Rev. Job PIERSON in 1849. Two brothers survive: P. T. H. PIERSON of Bennington, Vermont and J.W.S. PIERSON of Mt.
