P Surnames PACE, LEWIS CLARK "Another Pioneer Passes To Rest "Col. L. C. Pace, Long Prominent in City's Activities, Dies at Summer Home in Whitehall, Montana "Col. L. C. Pace, for many years prominent in the business and official life of Lincoln, passed away Friday at the home of his son in Whitehall, Mont. where he made his home during the summers. He passed his ninetieth birthday on June 12 last. Advancing years had not greatly affected his bearing and until the last he was but slightly changed from the days when he was a participant in the activities of this city. "The Colonel was a Virginian by birth, having been born in Scott county on June 12, 1835. He early entered the ministry and for a number of years held pulpits in the Methodist church. When the war broke out in 1861--he enlisted as chaplain of the Eleventh Missouri cavalry, but during the long years of struggle he doffed his clerics and became a fighting man, serving as colonel during the last year of the war. He had six brothers, five of who were in the federal army and one in the uniform of the grey. "Colonel Pace came to Lincoln during the grasshopper days, in 1873, and was one of the earlier editors of the city, being publisher of the World, a small daily for a time. That was in the days when greenbackism was a dominant political issue in the west, and Colonel Pace was one of the leading advocates of that remedial doctrine. In later years he was a republican. For a number of years he was the head of the printing firm of Pace, Williams & North, which also wholesaled paper. Mr. North died a number of years ago, but Mr. Williams passed on only a few weeks since. He retired from active business ten years ago spending his winters in California and his summers in Montana, but always maintained his home in Lincoln, and frequently came here. "Was a Councilman" "Colonel Pace served as a councilman from the Sixth ward, just after it was created in 1887, and represented it for four years. He was president of the council during his last term, and acted as mayor on various occasions. He was a member of the group of city officials who were celebrated in early political history, headed by Mayor Sawyer, who went to jail for a few days rather than obey an order of Federal Judge Dundy that he had no legal right to issue, as was later determined by the federal supreme court. "The colonel was also prominent in Grand Army work. He was an orator of unusual fluency and power, as well as a writer of force and influence. He was frequently called upon to make addresses during his residence in Lincoln, and at Whitehall, he was frequently drafted to speak. He was also a recognized Biblical authority, being in fact a many sided man of numerous talents. "Colonel Pace is survived by his widow who was Miss Vashti Jane Odell when they were wedded more than sixty years go. Three of the colonel's four children are still living, one son, Asa, dying in 1892. The others are Mrs. Clarkie Pace Woods; wife of Mark W. Woods of Lincoln, John W. Pace and Ike E. O. Pace of Whitehall, Mont. The funeral will be held from the home of Mark W. Woods at 2 o'clock next Tuesday afternoon. Rev. Walter Aitken will officiate and the Masons will be in charge of the ceremonies. The honorary pallbearers will be Colonel F. M. Woods, Frank. M. Hall, S. H. Burnham, H. H. Wilson, J. H. Moore, J. C. Seacrest, E. Hallett, John M. Stewart, S. J. Tuttle, Rev. Harmon Bross and Frank D. Tomson." Lincoln Journal (NE) 27June1925 Submitted by Jane S.
