Mary was the daughter of William Beach and Louise Houghton. She married Lafayette Mace on Oct 12, 1883 in Carroll, Carroll county, Iowa. They were the parents of 7 children: Rosa, Edyth, Irma, Raymond, Frank, Josiemon, and Mason.
Jan 24, 1907 - Carroll Times - A death of peculiarly sad circumtances was that of Mrs. Mary A. Mace, wife of L. Mace of Glidden, which occurred at their home in the northern part of that town at 1:30 o'clock Monday morning, Jan. 21, 1907.
It is true that she had been in a hopeless condition for a long time. Prior to her last lingering illness she had been operated on twice at Iowa City, for the removal of a cancerous growth. But it soon proved that the insidious malady had not been eradicated. All that loving hands could do and medical skill could accomplish was done to relieve her suffering. Patiently she bore her great suffering and after several months of pain and agony the delayed messenger came to carry her to the home above, where we shall know no suffering and no death.
Miss Mary A. Beach was born at Ivanhoe, Lake county, Illinois, Feb. 24, 1862. She came with her parents to Iowa, and settled four miles north of Glidden in the spring of 1879. For several years after moving to Iowa she was one of the early teachers of the county. She was married Oct. 12, 1883, to Lafayette Mace, and they started housekeeping on a farm north of Glidden. They removed to the town of Glidden about a year ago.
To their union were born seven children, three boys and four girls, as follows: Mrs. H.F. Rubey of Carroll, the Misses Edyth, Erma, and Josiemon and Masters Ray, Frank, and the baby, Mason, about two years old. She is also survived by her mother, Mrs. Beach, and her sister, Mrs. Henry Clifford of Glidden, and a brother, Willard Beach, in Illinois.
The funeral services were conducted at the residence at 1 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, Rev. Booth of the Presbyterian church pronouncing the obsequies. Interment took place at West Lawn cemetery. The exercises were attended by a large gathering of neighbors and friends of the departed, the bereaved husband and his motherless little ones.
Departed was a life long member of the Presbyterian church, a loving and devoted wife and mother, beloved by all who knew her. She was a mother whose love knew no limits and whose life and hope centered in her children. Her aim and ambition was to guide her children on to a Christian life and to make for them and her beloved husband a happy home. That heart which beat so warmly for those who were entwined with every fiber of her being, is stilled forever. Crushed by their despairing woe those whom she so dearly loved are numb in their helpessness while over that mortal form settles the mantle of eternal night.
When life's cord is broken and even hope seems to have departed, we realize fully what we lost in her who shared faithfully all joy and grief with him whom she vowed to love "until death do us part" we become aware of the irreparable loss of the mother, of what she has been through all the long years of childhood, youth, and perhaps beyond. She gave us her last vitality, her last love, and her last breath was a prayer for us. Life on earth would afford but little of value or hope to us with that voice heard for the last time and those lips sealed by death, were it not for faith to sustain us. It's light pierces the darkness of our soul.
We become resigned though we may fail to grasp the lesson at once that points for us the way to our destiny. We appreciate the sympathy of friends who are doing all that kind and willing hearts can suggest, but peace enters the soul only with the acceptance of the father's decree. Sorrow can wear a diadem of hope in the thought that we shall meet again; that our beloved one's departure is but the birth of a freed soul from the limitation and pains of a weary body.
