Charlotte H. B. Peirce

Nov 14 , 1847 - Apr 3, 1885

Young Charlotte was six years of age when her family moved into the newly completed Brandon Hall with her parents and remaining siblings.

Charlotte died in 1885, twenty-three years after the last of her young siblings had been laid to rest here. Atop her grave is a cross that reads "Mother". She was 38 years-old at the time of her death.

Charlotte married Joseph Caldwell Peirce on May 4, 1870. She may have had another daughter named Geraldine Brandon Peirce, who married Samuel M. Coulson on Jan 23, 1894. I have not been able to find any information on the daughter who purchased her mother's headstone.
