Looking for information concerning Lucinda Perry and Susie Perry Pierce (wife of Mr. George Pierce) buried at St. Paul Methodist Church Cemetery in Butler County. Wanting to know specifically if there is a connection between these two Perry women and the other Perrys buried at St. Paul. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

The following obituary for Susie Perry Pierce was found in the Butler County Geneaolgy and History room:

August 16, 1899
Mrs. Susie Perry Pierce wife of Mr. George Pierce, died at her home five miles east of here Saturday and was buried at St. Paul church Sunday afternoon, Rev. A.J. Briggs conducting the service. One who knew her well said, "She was a good, pure woman and will be sadly missed at church as well as at home." She leaves a husband and
eight daughters, an aged mother and other near relatives to grieve for her. The only son, John Kendrick Pierce, a babe of only a few weeks, preceded the mother to the quiet
church yard a week ago.
