S. temple, and to Julia Ann Ivins in August, 1888, in the Salt Lake L. D. S. temple. All preceded him in death.
He filled a three year mission to England and Scotland and was a member of the bishopric in St. George for 35 years. He was watchman at the St. George L. D. S. temple for ten years.
Surviving sons and daughters are: Mrs. George Lytle, John W., John I., Israel W., Walter C. and LaPrele Pace, St. George; Dr. R J. Pace, Los Angeles; Mrs. W. I. Sanders, San Bernardino, California; Mrs. Rulon Dally, Cedar City; Andrew G. Pace, Vallejo, California; W. B. Pace and Mrs. H. E. Petersen, Richfield; Karl I. Pace and Mrs. A. J.
