fourteenth President of the United States, was born at
Husboro, N.H., on Nov. 23d, 1804. He was graduated
from Bowdoin College in 1824, and in 1 4, married Jane

New England home to the fashionable life at Washington,

moved to Concord, where they passed the remainder of
their days in comfort and ease. Pierce died on Oct. 8th,
1869, six years after the death of his wife.
