Gone But Not Forgotten
George C. Grace, the subject of this sketch, was born in Carter county, Tennessee, the 5th day of May, 1828; was raised in Blount county, Tennessee; was the son of David and Margaret C. Grace. At the age of 18 he enlisted at Knoxville, Tenn., under Capt. J. C. Fagg, Company 5, Tennessee Regiment, in the war between Mexico and U.S. He served under General Winfield Scott in the siege with Old Mexico and was shot in the right knee and carried the bullet to his grave, the doctor never being able to extract it.
He was married to Miss Isabell J. Gardner December 28, 1849; to this union 12 children were born, eight boys and four girls, nine of whom are still living, six boys and three girls. In Mr. G.C. Grace's younger days he was an active member of the South Methodist church. He was also a prominent member of the Masonic order, having been a member 54 years.
He moved with his family to Missouri in 1857. He departed this life December 13, 1910, making his age at time of death 82 years, 7 months and 8 days. While this dear old father is gone from our midst long will his precepts and examples remain with us.
Deceased was a helpless invalid for the last year of his life, being waited on by his aged companion and children as tenderly as if he were a babe. In all that time he was ever cheerful and kind, never making a complaint or murmur.
Besides the aged companion and children are a number of grandchildren and great grand children scattered over different parts of the United States. The remaining children are C.S. Grace, Azariah Grace, Bettie J. Smallin, D. L. Grace, J. P. Grace, Rosa Thomas, Laura Hilterbrand, and W. R. Grace. Deceased was buried with Masonic honors at Houston, Thursday, December 15, 1910. -- A FRIEND
