    3. Sent by Bob Webb: William J. Pace was born July 2, 1844, in Newton County, Mississippi. He was a veteran of the Confederate Army, having fought at Gettysburg and the Battle of the Wilderness. He married Olive Wilder in 1866, and moved to Bell County, Texas in 1868. They were charter members of the First Baptist Church of Temple. Their children were Lula, a Professor of Botany and Geology at Baylor University, Pearl, a music teacher, Annie, a writer for a New York paper, and Robert. William died October 18, 1915. All are buried at Hillcrest Cemetery in Temple, Texas. My Great Grandfather William John Lee Pace left Newton County when he was 15 and stayed with his cousin William J. until he struck out on his own. This photo was passed down to me.
