"While serving in the Philippines he founded the Episcopal Church in the Islands, and served as rector in Manila and in general oversight of the work of his church in Luzon until his return to the United States, 1898-1901. By appointment of the commanding general, he organized, and for two years supervised the system of the identification of the dead in the Philippines, thus making it possible for the Insular War to close without a single instance of 'unidentified dead.' While a pastor in Lincoln, he was chaplain of tho Nebraska State Senate; represented the War Department at the International Prison Congresses at Pittsburgh and Baltimore, 1892-1803. In Washington, he was for seven successive seasons the special preacher at the Open-Air Services on the site of the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul, by appointment of the Bishop of Washington. He was appointed chaplain of the Ninth U. S. Cavalry, December, 1882, and resigned in June, 1884. After serving in the pastorate for some years, he was reappointed to the army as a post chaplain, his latest assignment being that of chaplain of the Corps of Engineers, with whom he served at Camp Columbia, Havana, Cuba, as senior chaplain of the Army of Cuban Pacification. He was promoted to the grade of major, as "worthy of special distinction for exceptional efficiency," June 14, 1904. He retired from active service May 9, 1908"--Men and Women of America: A Biographical Dictionary of Contemporaries, 1909 ; "He was recalled to service at the outset of World War I. On 27 September 1917, he was named Chief of the newly created Quartermaster Graves Registration Service. Weeks later he deployed to France with the first fully trained graves registration units -- and was ultimately awarded a Distinguished Service Medal, along with maximum praise from General John J. 'Black Jack' Pershing. Colonel Pierce, who died on 16 May 1921 and is buried in Arlington National Cemetery, is credited with being the founder of the Army's first modern mortuary affairs system. And is looked upon still as the 'Father of Mortuary Affairs.'"--Arlington Cemetery ; Pierce's wife, daughter and son-in-law are all buried in Arlington ; Mary Abigail Dodge was born in 1833. She graduated in 1850 from the Ipswich Female Academy, and proceeded to teach there for four years, until she got a position at Hartford High School. She disliked the job, however, and decided to write poetry. Editor Gamaliel Bailey read her work in 1856 and hired her as a governess to his children. From there, she sent in her publications to anti-slavery newspapers. She disliked attention, however, and chose the pen name Gail Hamilton, combining the last part of her middle name with her place of birth. Her essays were best known for their harshness towards men. While working on a biography of James Blaine, she had a stroke, leaving her in a coma that lasted for several weeks. She then returned to Hamilton, before dying of a cerebral hemorrhage on August 17, 1896."--wikipedia ; small nick to edge of spine, else VG. Book.
