   THOMAS GRACE, Trustee of Grant Township, was born in Washington County, Ind.,
in the year 1825, a son of Jesse and Catharine (Gilbrith) Grace, who were
natives of North Carolina and Virginia respectively, and among the old and
esteemed residents of Washington County. He was reared to manhood upon his
father's farm, secured a common school education in youth, and in 1845 went to
Jackson County, this State, where, in the year 1853, he was united in marriage
with Miss Parmelia Yancey, a native of Jackson County, and a daughter of Andrew
J. and Sallie (Critslow) Yancey, who were from the Old Dominion. The fall of
1860, Mr. Grace and family removed to Greene County, where they are well known
and universally respected. Mr. Grace is, in every sense of the word, a self-made
man. He began life's battle a poor boy, with nothing to depend upon but his own
energy and ability, and he now owns a good farm of 560 acres, and for ten years
has been honored with the office of Township Trustee, which position he has
rilled with entire satisfaction, and which he still holds. He is one of the
prominent and progressive men of Greene County, is a genial companion, a
neighborly neighbor, and a good husband and father. Himself and wife are parents
of this family: Sarah C. (deceased), Albert H. (deceased), Casselda, Spencer, J.
L., Daniel V., Lillie D., and one that died in infancy unnamed.
