Lucille managed the service station with Bill Meredith seeing that things got done. Newland died in 1938 at the age of 33 as a result of a brain tumor that was believed to have resulted from a serious head injury that occurred while he was in high school. Newland Piercey was the project foreman for the CCC program, teaching kids from the eastern states how to build roads, bridges, etc. They, of course, were also involved in fighting forest fires, such as the Tillamook burn in Oregon.* Although I (Thad Piercey, Newland's son) have never seen it, I'm told there is a creek, in the high country, named for Newland Piercey.

No dates or data relating to this fact is available except we (Lucille Piercey at the time) have two buttons that were taken from an old uniform that was disposed of after his death in 1928. Jay was a horticulturist and traveled a lot. He homesteaded and built a small "shack" north of Winthrop approxiamately 3 miles, on the west side of the Chewuch River. Jay and Lilly eventually built a larger two-story house on the homestead thanks to money inherited by Lilly. Jay developed a dairy operation on the homestead, using hired help since he still worked as a horticulturist. Jay spent his last 2 or 3 years suffering and eventually dying from stomach cancer. He is buried in Winthrop, WA. More About Japthet N. Piercey: A. K.

She contacted Japthet M. (Jay) Piercey through a matchmaker or lovers column in a tabloid newspaper. When she arrived in Omak, Washington, they were married that same day. Lillie was a strong church member and did a lot of entertaining in her home. In later years after Jay died, she needed surgery. She and her daughter-in-law Lucille and grandson Thaddeus (Thad) went to Detroit. It was on this trip, in Detroit, where Lillie passed away. She was sitting in a rocking chair when Lucille returned to the room, and found Lillie had died. From "Methow Valley Pioneers" CD Lillie was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, three houses from Henry Ford. They were the same age and friends. Lillie had a good job and was not interested in marriage. Her family felt like she should be married and kept encouraging her to find a husband. She tired of being harassed, so when she was approximately 33 years old she enteredher name on a mail bride list and started corresponding with Jay Piercey at Winthrop. Eventully she came by train, to Winatchee, WA and by boat to Pateros, WA where she was met by Jay Piercey. They married and settled on the homestead.
