Ace died a few years before I was born, but it appears my Gr-Grandma had finally found someone who made her happy. Their picture, taken abt 1938, shows them happy after 20 years marriage. My Aunt said, even though my Gr-Grandma's second husband was her biological Grandpa, Ace was the only Grandpa she knew and he was a very nice man.

Rest in Peace dear Ace.
