Unfortunately, my information about Harold A. Pierce is rather scant. He was born in 1905 in Wisconsin. His parents, Clarence (b. 1884) and Alta (b. 1885) were also born in the state. Harold was the oldest of the six Pierce children. Percy Otis was two years younger than Harold and was likely the other boy in the photograph below. The younger children were, Ona Mary (b. 1911), Edgar (b. 1913), Leslie (male-b. 1919), and Elizabeth (b. 1923.)
The last that is known of Harold in Wisconsin is in the 1920 census when he was 15 years old and living at home with his family. In the 1930 census, when Harold would have been 25 years old, his parents and the four youngest children are living at home, but he and Percy are at an unknown location.
After 1930, the only record of Harold that I can find is in the Florida state census of 1945. He is living in Pinellas County as a single man, and is 40 years old.
I can find death records for two of Harold's brothers in Wisconsin, but it is unknown when and where Harold died.

| "Sportsman," Percy (?), & Harold |
"When the time came for the pony to come my brother and Papa and I went to the depot to meet him but when the train came in no pony, and we kept this up for two nights. Everybody said my pony would not come, but I knew he would and sure enough on the third night when the train rolled in the express man opened the door to the car. I heard a pony neigh and how tickled I was for there he was in the crate all decorated with ribbons on his tail and mane."
