Through the good in- fluence of the superintendent, Rev. Thomas M. Yundt, the subject of this sketch was prompted to enter the ministry and his early school train- ing was obtained at the above institution, where men were engaged as instructors who had taken advanced courses in schools of pedagogy and whose ambition it was to teach for life. At the age of sixteen, while still an inmate of the home, young Peters passed the teachers' examination held at Robesonia, Pa., and at once became teacher of the intermediate grade at the home. After teaching one year, his mother having then re-mar- ried, he left the home to take up his residence with Mr. and Mrs. William S. Baer, at Schnecksville, Lehigh county.

ROBERT G. PIERCE.
Robert G. Pierce, treasurer of the Carbon Slate Co., at Slatington, was born January 5, 1857, at Liverpool, England, a descendant of one of the oldest families in North Wales. He was brought up there in the famous slate dis- trict and worked in quarries as a young man until he became thoroughly acquainted with all the details of that industry. From slate opera- tions he went upon merchant-ships and engaged in the transportation of slate materials from Wales to different European countries, some of the vessels carrying from 200 to 300 tons of slate, and the experience which he acquired in loading, transporting and marketing slate from his home country proved valuable to him in after years, particularly in opening a European market for American slate.
In 1883, Mr. Pierce emigrated to America, locating first at Nanticoke, Pa., where he worked in the coal mines for a short time, but in the same year he went to Slatington and made the acquaintance of Joseph Richards, who was then engaged in the mercantile business at Summit- Hill and introduced Mr. Pierce to his sister, .which introduction eventually resulted in their
marriage. He associated with Ellis Owens and Mr. Richards in organizing the Carbon Slate Co., at Slatington, and this company until the year 1912 exported roofing slate to the value of one and a half million dollars. Owens and Richards having looked after the production and Pierce after the sale. In securing the foreign orders, Pierce traveled across the Atlantic Ocean twenty-four times.
Mr. Pierce was one of the organizers of the Surprise Cash Store and the Citizen's bank, of Slatington, also of the Union Mercantile Co., at Allentown, which he has since served as a director. Besides his business and financial con- nections, he has become prominently interested in the civil, religious and social movements of his town and also of the surrounding neighbor- hood. In politics he is a Republican and as such he served in the town council. He is a member of Slatington Lodge, No. 440, F. and A. M.
Mr. Pierce and his family are members of the Baptist Church. When the present beautiful edifice was erected in 1900 at a cost of $30,000, he served on the building committee; and he and his two associates in the Carbon Slate Co. (Mr. Richards and Mr. Owens), contributed one- half of that amount. He has served as a deacon of the church since 1890. He also officiated as superintendent of the Sunday-school for a time acting now as one of its most prominent and useful teachers.
