S. C. Mace, editor and proprietor of the Clinton Advocate, was born in Monroe 
County, Illinois, September 29, 1836, his parents being John and Mary (McFarland) 
Mace. When eighteen years of age the subject of this sketch removed to St. Clair 
County, Illinois, and followed agricultural pursuits there for seven years, then 
changing his residence to Bond County, where he served as deputy circuit clerk. In 
1865, he commenced his journalistic experience, and was connected with the 
Greenville Advocate for eight years, and the succeeding two years was engaged in 
mercantile pursuits. He soon returned to St. Clair County, going thence to St. 
Louis, where, in connection with L. W. Revis, he started the Tribune, a three cent 
morning paper, but owing to poor management it proved unsatisfactory 
financially, and he returned to Illinois. After living in St. Clair and Bond 
Counties, he in August, 1880, came to Clinton, Henry County, Missouri, and 
purchased the Clinton Advocate, which he has since published. Politically he is a 
staunch Republican, and his paper is the faithful exponent of Republican doctrine 
for Henry County. Mr. Mace was married in December, 1863, to Mrs. Mary Wait 
Simonds, of Bond County, Illinois.
