VETERAN OF CIVIL WAR DROPS DEAD

Willis Pace Dies While Sitting in Chair Tuesday Afternoon.

Willis Pace, 85 year old veteran of the Civil War, died suddenly while sitting in a chair at his home shortly afternoon Saturday. He
was buried Tuesday at the Warden cemetery, the Rev. McDonald and John M. Linddsey, leading the funeral services and C. K. Spencer directing interment.

Pace was born in Marshall county, Kentucky, in 1845, and came to Missouri about 1868, three years after he was married to Celio
Hurst. Six of the nine children born to this union are still living, but Mrs. Pace died in 1907.

The children are: Liburn, Hardin, Ap and Gus Pace and Vina Edmunds and Audrey Grogan.

When about 21 years old, Pace became a member of the Church of Christ, a faith he retained to the end of his life.

During the Civil War he served two or three years and is one, of the few remaining member of the G. A. R.
