Mangum (Oklahoma) Star Monday, May 19, 1930 and Tuesday, May 20, 1930, page 1
Mrs. Mark E. (Babe) Pace, 28 years old, died suddenly Sunday morning at the Mangum Hospital following an operation performed by Dr. Frank McGregor for removal of tonsils. An unexpected reaction to the local anesthetic applied is attributed as the cause of her death.
Four years ago her husband met death in an automobile accident near Vernon, Texas leaving Mrs. Pace and two small children. With the exception of four years residence at Vernon and Amherst, Texas where the late Mr. Pace was engaged in business, Mrs. Pace has resided in Mangum, her native home, all her life. Following her husband's death, Mrs. Pace returned to Mangum from Amherst with her two sons and has since resided with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Sam D. Rude.
Simple and impressive ceremonies marked her funeral service as several hundred friends thronged the Central Christian Church Tuesday afternoon to pay final respects. Reverend Dennis S. Prosser was in charge of the last rites, giving a short expression of sympathy and delving briefly into the personality of Mrs. Pace. Assisting in officiating was Reverend A.P. Johnson. Musical reflections at the service were given by the church choir under direction of Mrs. Louis A. Tittle. The appropriate hymns included "In the Garden", "Have Thine Own Way, Lord" and "Jesus, Lover of my Soul." Pall bearers were M.M. Jacobs, R.H. Squire, W.R. Harnett, Dr. C.E. Hill, Marshall Ernest, Basil Wilson and L.M. Herndon. Interment was at Riverside Cemetery.
One of the most popular and best beloved of Mangum's gentlewomen, Mrs. Pace took an active part in civic and social activities. An accomplished violinist, she was also a member of the choir of Central Christian Church and active in church work. Her lovely personality endeared her to all who came in contact with her and her untimely death has cast a pall of sorrow over the entire community. She was employed by Mangum National Bank and had many friends in business circles. She leaves her parents; her sons, Edward Lee Pace, 12, and Clint Rude Pace, 9; her sisters, Mrs. Hester Young and Mrs. Lela Pruitt of Mangum and Mrs. Myrtle Boyle of San Francisco; and a brother, Ike Rude of Arizona.
Not presuming to tread through the sacred portals of a grief stricken home, we are nevertheless moved to give expression of our sympathy to the relatives and intimate friends of Mrs. Pace who in the zenith of life's summer was suddenly called by Him who knows best. The sunshine of her genial smile, the sparkle of a ready wit and radiance of a gracious personality will be missed. May the burden of sorrow for a vacant chair be lightened by the reflection that an entire community shares that grief and by the consolation that comes from the thought that as this gallant little mother embarks upon the Great Adventure, she would want those left behind to face tragedy with the undaunted courage that so typified her life.
