Las Vegas Age  October 28 or Nov. 4, 1938
PIONEER VEGAN DIES IN SAN DIEGO

Word was received Monday afternoon by W. R. Bracken of the sudden death in San 
Diego of Frank M. Grace.  He passed away while attending a railroad executive 
luncheon Monday noon.

Frank was a pioneer Las Vegan.  A young man of unusual ability he 
superintended the construction and operation of the Las Vegas and Tonopah 
railroad.

He was an outstanding figure in the early life of this community.  He was 
genial, kindly and possessed a rare understanding of people and problems.  In 
1906 he married Miss Marion Porter of Los Angeles.  They lived for a short 
time at the old ranch and later built a home at the corner of Fremont and 
Fifth which was recently moved to make way for the Union Oil station.

When the L.V. & T. railroad was discontinued he and his family moved to their 
lemon grove near San Diego where they lived for several years.  Later he was 
made assistant to the general manager of the San Diego and Arizona railroad, a 
position he occupied to the day of his death.

It was a beautiful way to go - no long illness, no agonizing farewells, just 
to fall asleep to awaken on another shore.

Besides his widow, he leaves three daughters, Helen, Lois and Francis and a 
little granddaughter.  Final rites were conducted Wednesday.
