Old Frame, Sept 25 - George Grace, the venerable ex-constable of Nicholson Twp., whose death occurred Sept. 10, 1900, was a well known and highly respected citizen. He was born in Baltimore, Md., Oct. 23, 1818. His wife, Elizabeth (Inks) Grace, whose death occurred a few months ago, was born in Wharton Twp., Oct. 15, 1818 and was therefore eight days her husband's senior. They were married Jan. 23, 1838. They were both members of the Methodist Protestant Church. Mrs. Grace's Funeral was preached by Rev. J. Vannoy and Mr. Grace's by J. B. Brice, the former a Baptist minister, the latter a Presbyterian. To Mr. and Mrs. Grace were born 10 children, five of who are living: John of Iowa, Jesse of McKeesport, Jacob, Larry, and Kate of Nicholson Twp. There are nine grandchildren and seventeen great grandchildren. Mr. Grace was one of the "Pike Boys," having been born the same year in which the national pike was begun. He drove teams on the road during his boyhood days and earned with his fellow drivers the name of "pike boy". He was constable of Nicholson Twp. for 21 years. Politically he was a staunch Democrat. He declared that never voted for but one Republican and tat was for Lawrence S. Lowe, now road supervisor of Nicholson Twp. He exercised his right of sufferage to the highest degree never having missed a nomination nor an election since he was a voter. As a citizen he was quiet, honest, and a supporter of every project whose aim was the betterment of the community and of mankind. While he and his wife worked hard during their lives they lived happily together and supported a large family. Mrs. Grace never went into debt, what she purchased she paid for, and what she could not pay for she denied herself. They have both gone to their reward. Their days of toil are over and as a tree is known by its fruit, so we have reason to believe that they are now enjoying the blessings of that better world where pain and sorrow and toil are not known and where hopes of the Christian are at last fully realized.
