"Miss Jane Emma (Jennie) Pierpont, 9, the last of the Pierpont family, prominent in the early history of Two Rivers and who had been a resident of Chicago for many years, died in Woodlawn Hospital, Chicago, Tuesday morning."

"Graveside funeral services at Pioneers' Rest Cemetery, Two Rivers, will be at 2 p.m. Thursday, the Rev. William Harvey of St. James Episcopal Church, Manitowoc, officiating. The Klein & Stangel Inc., Funeral Home, Two Rivers, has charge of the arrangements."

"Miss Pierpont was born at Green Bay Oct 29, 1867, daughter of the late Henry S. and Lydia Gardner Pierpont. Her father, known in the earlier days as "Judge" Pierpont, born in 1823, founded the Two Rivers Weekly Chronicle in 1872 while holding the position of agent for the first railroad operating out of Two Rivers."

"Miss Pierpont's brother, the late H.D. (Eddie) Pierpont, long-time vice president of the Milwaukee Road, got his start as a telegrapher under his father in the old Two Rivers depot. When the brother moved to Chicago from Two Rivers Miss Pierpont also took up her residence there and was employed by the same railroad. In later years Miss Pierpont lived at the Del Prado Hotel, Chicago. She was the last to bear the Pierpont name, leaving no descendants."

"Surviving are a niece in New Zealand and two nephews, Hiram O. Wood, manager of the Plankinton Hotel at Milwaukee, and William S. Wood of Beloit, former regular army general and now general manager of the Beloit Iron Works. The latter two are sons of the late Carrie Pierpont Wood, whose husband, the late William Wood, was one of the earlier operators of Hotel Hamilton at Two Rivers."
