4. [S23] TROVE, Launceston Examiner 27 June 1922, Death of Mr. Pearce --- Newly-Elected Franklin Member --- HOBART, Monday. Mr. William Warburton Frederick Pearce, M.H.A., died at a private hospital early this morning after an illness of only a couple of weeks. He had been a resident of Bridgewater for many years, and for some time past had taken a keen interest in public affairs. During the period in which he had been a member of the Brighton Municipal Council he earned the reputation of being a zealous and painstaking councillor, and in consequence was held in the highest esteem. Mr. Pearce also identified himself with the Labour movement, and in 1919 was one of the endorsed candidates for Franklin, but was unsuccessful. He did a lot of campaigning since then, and at the last election secured the second Labour seat for that constituency. Apparently the strenuous campaigning in which he participated undermined his strength, as he became ill on the eve of the election, and thereafter hie condition became gradually worse. Mr. Pearce held temperate views on political questions, and was regarded as a moderate Labourite, and the way in which he polled indicated that he was supported largely by small farmers particularly in and around the Bridgewater and New Norfolk districts. He leaves a wife and a married daughter.
