Pierce was a farmer in northwest Colfax who was known for being a colorful collector and for standing on his head at parades and events. The Jasper County Historical Society and the Colfax Historical Society hosted a historical cemetery walk in which actors told the stories of eight area residents buried at the cemetery, located two miles north of Colfax.
