DEAN AND EVELYN [MEYER] PIERCE
Dean N. Pierce and Evelyn A. Meyer were married July 18, 1955. They
settled on a farm twelve miles southwest of Verdigre.
In their early years of marriage, they decided to milk cows, but
switched to raising hogs, stock cattle, corn, oats, milo, and
alfalfa. Many hours were spent building hog houses, erecting corn
bins, a garage, and their home in 1965.
They are the parents of six sons and one daughter. Gail Pierce and
wife Lynnae live in Lincoln with their son Nicholas. Paul Pierce and
his wife Mary have three sons and a daughter, Duane, Lance, Landon,
and Ashli. They live near Norfolk, Nebraska. Dennis and wife Lori
have two children, Brett and Staci. They live in Verdigre. Philip
and LeAnn live on a farm southwest of Verdigre, and David is at
home, helps his father on the farm, and rents other land. Lynn
Pierce is attending college at Wayne State and spends summers on the
farm. Their daughter, Mrs. Sherry Land, and husband Mark attend
Wayne State College, Wayne, Nebraska.
