     COLONEL THOMAS NEWSOM PACE, the present postmaster and one of the most 
highly respected citizens of Shenandoah, was born on a farm in Cumberland 
County, Kentucky, August 17, 1831.  His parents, Wyatt and Sarah S. (BARTON) 
PACE, were both born in Henry County, Virginia, where the father's ancestors 
lived for many generations.  The Colonel's grandfather, Newsom PACE, was a 
native of Scotland, and settled in Virginia with his parents when a boy; he 
was one of the last survivors of the Revolutionary war, in which he served 
seven years.  His death occurred at his home in Virginia in 1842, at the age 
of ninety-seven years.  Colonel PACE's mother was a daughter of William and 
Sarah (ALEXANDER) BARTON, natives of Virginia, who settled in Kentucky about 
the years 1810.  Thomas is the youngest of four children, Joseph, John, and 
Mary, wife of G. E. SKAGGS, being the others.  The mothe was left a widow when 
the youngest child was an infant, and after eight years of struggle in 
Kentucky she removed to Warrick County, Indiana; there, in 1845, she was again 
united in marriage to J. B. MILLER, and there she continued to reside until 
her death, which occurred in September, 1874, in her seventy-fourth year.  Her 
husband survived her until 1883.
     Young Thomas PACE, early became inured to the labor of farm life.......
     Colonel PACE was married August 12, 1863, while on furlough, to Miss Mary 
E. WILCOX, a daughter of Samuel S. and Sarah E. (De FOREST) WILCOX, pioneers 
of Fremont County, Iowa.  The marriage took place at the WILCOX home a few 
miles from Shenandoah.  Mrs. PACE was born in Boonville, Indiana, September 
15, 1842.  One child was born of this union, Sarah Emily, who died October 15, 
1867, aged three years.
