  1. It's nice to be able to look behind the photos when there's enough to go on. George Amos Pierce was a Maine wheelwright who converted to Spiritualism and became a professional clairvoyant. He apparently practiced as some sort of physician and was addressed and known as "Dr." late in life. His name appears in an 1870 list of spiritualist lecturers. He is buried in the Mount Auburn Cemetery in Androscoggin County, Maine.
