I believe the below obituary might be for JOHN D. PACE, born about 1834,
son of Thomas William Pace and Drucilla [Anderson/Davis] of Abbeville,
SC. It's a lovely obituary, and full of names, as well.

Also, I read a comment (by someone who hasn't replied to my query) that
Thomas William Pace [son of John Pace and Sarah] married Drucilla DAVIS,
the sister of my JOHN DAVIS who married Sarah Jane PACE]. Does anyone
know more about this? Perhaps she also married a Mr. Anderson? All of
them in Abbeville, SC.

OBIT: July 20, 1918, The State Newspaper, South Carolina: "JOHN
DAVIS PACE. Sumter, July 19. John Davis Pace died Tuesday night, July
16, at the home of his son, T.W. PACE, on South Harvin Street. Mr.
Pace, who was in his 84th year, had been ill about one week. The
remains were carried to Hodges in Greenwood County, and were interred in
the Hodges Cemetery. Mr. Pace was a Confederate Veteran, having served
the four years of the War Between the States in Holcombe Legion, Evans
Brigade. He was born in Abbeville County and spent the greater part of
his life there, only moving to Sumter four years ago. Mr. Pace is
survived by one son, T.W. Pace of this city; one sister, Mrs. J.R. Pace
of Texas; three brothers. W.T. Pace, O.D. Pace, U.P. Pace, all living in
Oklahoma. Of his 11 grandchildren, five sons and six daughters, two are
soldiers in the present war: A.S. pace with the army in France, and R.E.
Pace at Camp Hancock."
