COLUMBUS S. GRACE HAS ANSWERED FINAL CALL
Having passed the ripe old age of ninety years, Columbus S. Grace quietly and peacefully laid down the cares and sufferings of a long and lonely life at the home of his niece, Mrs. Dan Elliott, formerly Ruth Grace, at Dunn, April 3.
Had Columbus Grace lived until next August he would have rounded out ninety-one years. Most of these long years he had lived in Houston and in the community, and never a man said ought against the honor and integrity of Columbus Grace. He offended no man intentionally, he harmed no one, but being a bachelor and living alone during so many of his latest years, and even through his more recent sick years, he avoided being any trouble to others. He was for a long term of years a faithful member of Texas Lodge No. 177, A.F. and A.M., and a member of the Methodist church, very regular in attendance as his health would permit. Only a few weeks ago, Mrs. Ruth Elliott, his niece, induced him to go home with her where he was carefully looked after until the final summons came.
Columbus Grace was a son of George Grace, an old Mexican soldier, and the family has always held a prominent place in the affairs of Texas county.
The remains were conveyed to the Elliott Funeral Home where they remained until the funeral and burial.
Funeral services will be conducted at the Houston Methodist church Thursday, April 6, at 2:30 p.m. the Rev. James Culpepper will officiate.
Interment in the Houston cemetery with full Masonic honors and burial service. Elliott Funeral Home in charge. Complete obituary next week.
