   Thomas J. Grace, stock raiser and farmer, of Sedgwick county, Kansas, was
born August 14, 1867, in Zanesville, Ohio. His parents were Thomas J. and Hannah
(Males) Grace. The father was a native of Pennsylvania and the mother a native
of Ohio. The remote ancestry of the family on the maternal side is traced to
England. The parents in an early day came from Pennsylvania to Ohio, and settled
in Muskingum county, where the father lived until his death, on August 1, 1876.
His widow died September 1, 1910, on the old home farm in Muskingum county. The
elder Grace was a wealthy contractor, farmer and stock raiser. The early
education of Thomas J. Grace was obtained in the public schools of his native
state. He remained at the old homestead for three years after he was married on
March 5, 1891, to Miss Margaret Butler, a daughter of F. C. Butler, of
Zanesville. Two children have been born of this union, a daughter, now sixteen
years old, and a son, now three years old. The daughter is attending high school
in Cheney, Kan. Mrs. Grace is an educated and cultured woman, being a graduate
of the Zaneszille [sic] College for Young Ladies. Fraternally, Mr. Grace is a
Mason, thirty-two degrees, and has occupied all the chairs of the Blue Lodge. He
is a member of Wichita Consistory No. 2, of the Royal Arcanum and of the Woodmen
of America. Politically he is a lifelong Republican. He is known extensively
throughout Sedgwick county as a successful stock raiser and dealer and a
practical farmer. Mrs. Grace is a member of the Reformed church of Cheney.
