Details: The Late Dr. Robert James Pierce. We record with profound sorrow, the death of Dr. R. J. Pierce, which occurred on Wednesday night, at his residence, High-street, West Maitland. The doctor had been ailing for some days past, and on Monday forenoon was attacked by an epileptic fit in the street. He was conveyed to his house, and remained in bed under the care of Drs. Alcorn and Power, under whose charge his condition appeared at times to mend. Late on Wednesday day night, these gentlemen had administered the necessary medicine to their patient, and were preparing to leave, under the impression that he was in a good way. But before going, Dr. Alcorn went into Dr. Pierce s bedroom, to see that all was right, and found him lying across the bed, as if he had attempted to rise. The doctors immediately bled the patient, but he presently died from an apoplectic seizure. The demise of Doctor Pierce removes from our midst a general favourite. He was one of the most gentle-hearted and kindly of men ; a sterling friend, whose presence was welcomed in that capacity in every household, not less than in the part of the skilled and thoughtful physician. To the social circle he was ever an acquisition, and during his residence of about sixteen years in Maitland has been conspicuously active and energetic in promoting numerous useful movements. He was President of the Philharmonic Society, which a few years ago did excellent work, aiding it with his means, his voice, and his energy. He had for many years been an Alderman of the West Maitland Borough Council, and during the jubilee year occupied the chair as Mayor. His aldermanic work was largely sanitary, and he supported the dignity of the office of Chairman of the Council with marked success. After many years service as honorary surgeon in conjunction with others at the Maitland Hospital, Dr. Pierce was appointed Consulting Surgeon, and at the last meeting of the subscribers to the Hospital was unanimously chosen President of the institution. Dr. Pierce was a widower with one son, and about 49 years of age at the time of his death His remains were conveyed by rail on Thursday night to Bengalla, near Muswellbrook, where they were laid by the side of his wife, a daughter of the late Mr. J. H. Keys. Dr. Pierce was a magistrate of the territory a member of the Maitland Lodge of Unity, He was also an active member of the Northern Jockey Club and Mainland Amateur Turf Club.
