[Henry, son of Dr. Melvin PIERCE]

Father's brother Melvin (a doctor in the Civil War) had one child, Henry, and his picture shows what can be done to an only child. He was pert, fresh, inconsiderate of others. He roomed with me one year in Geneseo and used to clatter down the stairs making as much noise as possible, and particularly after the two boys rooming under us complained of the noise. Then he intentionally made more noise than ever.
