Ella V. Pierce
Ella V. Pierce (1845-1911) was born in West Brookfield, Massachusetts,
and died in Norton, Massachusetts. She began her career as a school teacher. When poor
health made her unable to continue teaching, she began walking daily to improve her
health. This practice provoked a keen interest in the local animals, and she became
known for her expertise in animal observation and embarked on a career in taxidermy. She
subsequently became a nurse and served in that capacity until her passing. In May 1886,
she wrote to Mary Baker Eddy to order a copy of Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures. Based on the records available, we have found no
further information concerning her involvement with Christian Science.
