Since the list has been quiet lately, I would like to post some information about my late Greataunt Eliza Pace Spurlock. Eliza was born 16 Jan 1901 to Simeon and Fannie Dean Pace in Harlan Co, KY. She married Dewitt Spurlock in 1918 and raised a family of one son and four daughters. She was a graduate of Harlan Presbyterian Academy and taught school at Cranks Creek from 1916 to 1917. In 1997, the State of Kentucky named a bridge in her honor, the Liza Spurlock Bridge. The bridge is located on US421 crossing Crummies Creek in Cawood, Kentucky. In 2002, the State of Kentucky named her a Kentucky Colonel. Alas, the honor of being a Kentucky Colonel was short-lived for her, however. She died March 13, 2002 at the age of 101and is buried at Browning Cem. at Cranks Creek. A Pace, a great lady, and a Kentuckian by the Grace of God. John Pace
