1894 Obituary of James Pace of Farmerville, Union Parish Louisiana

Published in the Farmerville "Gazette", Issue of Wednesday, 25 April 1894, page 3
==================================================================================
==================================================================================
  Mr. James Pace, an old and highly respected citizen of this parish, after a brief 
illness departed this life at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Ella Cook, in town, 
Monday evening. He was taken ill Friday with a chill, but nothing serious was 
thought of his condition until Sunday evening, when he lost consciousness and began 
to sink rapidly. He was seventy-three years of age and had not been in good health 
for several years. He was formerly a resident of Ouachita parish, but moved to this 
place three or four years ago. He leaves a large circle of relatives and friends 
in this and Ouachita parish to mourn his death.
  THE GAZETTE extends sympathy to the grief stricken family. 
  His remains were interred in the cemetery at this place Tuesday evening.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: Since this paper was published on Wednesday, "Monday" puts Pace's death as 
occurring on 23 April 1894. His tombstone in the Farmerville Cemetery gives his name 
as James F. Pace, born 29 January 1821 in Stewart County Georgia. His tombstone 
apparently gives his death date as April 25 rather than the 23rd, although the 
newspaper seems more reliable.
