Lori:
I have found some information that may be of use.
Household:
Name Relation Marital Status Gender Race Age Birthplace Occupation Father's Birthplace Mother's Birthplace
Celia PEIRCE Self W Female W 44 NY Farmer NY NY
Mark PEIRCE Son S Male W 20 IA Farmer NY NY
Abel PEIRCE Son S Male W 18 IA Works On Farm NY NY
Mary PEIRCE Dau Female W 15 IA At Home NY NY
Clauda PEIRCE Dau S Female W 13 IA NY NY
Olive PEIRCE Dau S Female W 9 IA NY NY
Stephen PEIRCE Son S Male W 4 IA NY NYThis is from the 1880 US Census and the family is listed as living in Burr Oak, IA. The spelling of the last name is different, which may explain why it has been difficult tracking the family. But the ages and locations seem to line up right.
She was widowed by this time with the youngest being 4 years old, I would approximate Stephen Pearce's death as 1875-76.
Hope this is helpful
