(1897) Author: Geo. Ogle & Co. JACOB H. PACE, who is engaged in the pursuit of agriculture in Section 18, Civil Bend township, Union county, is a native of the ”Hoosier state,” having been born in 1845, in Delaware county, Ind. He is a son of Horatio and Jemima J. (Pendroy)' Pace, who were among the early residents of that state. They were the parents of three sons, James M., Marion and Jacob H. Marion was a soldier in the war of the Rebellion. Both Mr. and Mrs. Pace are now deceased. Jacob was raised on a farm in Jasper county, Iowa. He had none of the common advantages for an education, and what knowledge he has acquired, has been through his own efforts. When he attained his majority he started out in the battle of life for himself, and in 1876 came to Union county, Dak. Ter., and settled where he now lives and has resided ever since. Five acres of his land had previously been “broke," and he started in to further develop his future home, keeping “bachelor's hall” and working during some of his time in a sawmill. Although he started out in life empty handed he was accustomed to hard work, and by frugality, industry and well-applied judgment, has succeeded, and his farm is now a fine piece of property, well-improved with a good residence and outbuildings. He owns 160 acres, 110 of which are under good cultivation, and does general farming exclusively, raising wheat, oats and corn. Mr. Pace is a Republican politically. He has been a member of the school board, but further than this official capacity, has never cared to enter a race for office in the whirl-pool of politics. Mr. Pace was married in 1878 to Eliza C. Green, a daughter of Robert R. and Nancy J. Green, who came to Union county with her parents in 1863. This union has been blest with five children, viz.: Jemima, Hulda, Aaron, Harry and Osa. Mrs. Pace, has. by her former husband, George Le Gro, one son, Robert E. Le Gro.
