NEW MARKET HERALD, New Market, Iowa, Sep 11, 1924
An Old Settler Gone
Sunday morning about nine o'clock marked the passing of one
of Taylor county's oldest settler when John Pace was gathered to his father's mansion.
Deceased came to Taylor county with his parents in 1855 and
has been a continuous resident from that time.
He endured all the hardships of the early settlers, but with dogged determination he stuck to the county and by his perseverence and industry he accumulated 220 acres of fine Taylor county land, and it was at his home on this land that the death angel called him.
John Pace was one of the substantial and influential men of this community for many years, but failing health during the past few years has compelled him to withdraw from public activities. But his works will live long in the memory of all who knew him.
He was a lifelong Mason, being a charter member of the New Market lodge, and the rites at the grave were conducted by his Masonic brethren.
John Pace was born in Orange county, Ind., Nov 29, 1847 and died at his home three miles southeast of New Market, Sept 7, 1924, aged 76 years, 9 months and 8 days. He had been in poor health for several years and about ten days ago he was taken seriously ill and gradually grew worse until the end came as stated above.
At the age of eight years he came to this county with his parents, and here he spent his life. On Dec 23, 1866 he was united in marriage to Hester Allen. To this union five children were born, three of whom have passed away.
Those living are D.B. of New Market and Emmett R. of Centerville [Iowa]. The wife and mother passed away Nov 5, 1875.
He was again married on May 5, 1877, to Sarah E. Johnson. No children were born of this union. She died Nov 16, 1887.
On April 9, 1890 he was married to Ellen J. Foster. Two sons were born to this union, Tony I. and Guy A. both of whom were with the father when the end came. Deceased was a good citizen, a loving husband and indulgent father. He will be sadly missed in the community of which he was a part for many years, as well as in the home circle.
He leaves to mourn their loss, the devoted wife, four sons, two stepsons, Fred Foster of Kansas City, and Harmon Allen of Bedford, twenty-three grandchildren, eight great grandchildren, besides a host of friends.
He was of a family of thirteen children, 9 brother and 4 sisters of whom five brothers are still living and two sisters.
Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon in the Baptist church, conducted by a life long friend, Rev E.B. Osborne. Interment was in Memory cemetery.
