Joseph Curtis Pearce

M, ID# 14085, b. 11 May 1862, d. 17 November 1940

Father: James Pearce Jr. b. 4 Apr 1834, d. 25 Jan 1914
Mother: Temperance Ricks b. 16 Sep 1833, d. 1904

Birth*: He was born on 11 May 1862 in Madison County, Illinois (near New Douglas).¹
Marriage*: He married Cora Belle Knowles, daughter of _____ Knowles and _____ Hamley, on 3 December 1890 in Olympia, Thurston County, Washington.¹
Death*: He died on 17 November 1940 in San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas, at age 78.¹
Burial*: Interment was in Poteet, Atascosa County, Texas.¹

Note*: He attended the University of Kansas, taught school for a year in Kansas, and prospected for gold in Colorado. He met his future wife, Cora Belle Knowles, in Kansas, followed her and her family to Colorado, and abandoned his gold mining claim in Colorado to follow them to Washington. Although he taught school, it is said that he placed little value on education and did not allow his children to receive more than elementary schooling. He farmed in Olympia, Washington until 1910, when the family moved to Oakland, California, where he worked as a carpenter. The family lived in Australia after World War I (in which one of the sons was killed) until about 1924, when they returned to California and he took up building houses and selling real estate in the Oakland area. In 1929 he moved to Texas, leaving the family behind for good. He kept in touch with some of his children but, as might be expected, some of the other children were angry about his abandonment of their mother and did not communicate with him. Joseph and Cora had nine children.¹
