This is just the tree info for my grandfather some of the thoughts and stories and life events will soon follow. A titbit concerning his name, he was named after his grandpas, Converse Bacon Pierce and Jerry Hougland. The earliest reference to his name in the records I found indicate prior to the death of his mother his name was Jerry Converse, after her death in 1901, it is always found to be just the reverse Converse Jerry.
