ous farmer, later was clerk on Missis- slppl river packets when the river business was in it's heyday, and still later he conducted a hotel in Nash Vile, Tenn. In 1868, the parents of Judge Grace moved to Pine Bluff where they made their home until their deaths.
 Educated at Memphis.
 Judge Grace obtained the founda- t1on of his education in Memphis Tenn, in the public schools. this in- cluding a course in the high school rom which he graduated in June, 1866. Judge Grace came to Pine Bluff from Memphis in 1867, and took up the study of law in the office of lis kinslnan the late William Porter Grace, being admitted to the bar January 10, 1870.
 Served Through War.
 ln the meantime, the civil war had ragged through the length and breadth of the Southland, and Judge Grace, though a mere boy, had served al- most from beginning to end He en- listed at Memphis on August 15, 1863, although but fifteen years of age. in the Eleventh Arkansas regiment, later serving in the Seventeenth Ar kansas regiment. He remained in the army until December 20, 1864, when he returned home on sick furlough. The end of the war was marked be- fore he had recovered his health. Be- cause of his immature years, Judge Grace was courier to Gen. Stephen D. Lee during the greater portion of his army service.
 Defends Capt. Hilzheim.
 After practicing law in Pine Bluff, Judge Grace moved, in 1873, to Centre Point, Ark, where he continued the practice of law, and for period owned and edited newspaper. Old residents we'll remember yet one in cidert of the journalistic career of Judge Grace, in which Capt. Sam F. Hilzheim of Pine Bluff was dil ectly interested. Capt. Hilzheim was at that time captain of the Garland Greys here, and when he refused to muster in a company of negro sol- diers, he was ordered before court martial by Governor Churchill. Judge Grace, personally and through his raper, vigorously defended Capt. Hilz- helm, and although the courtmartial resulted in the dismissal of Capt. Hilzheim from the service, so great was the effect of Judge Grace's cam paisn that he was soon afterwards reinstated. It was openly charged at the time that Gov Churchill was seeking to arrange for his own elec- tion to the United States senate, and had persecuted Capt. Hilzheim be- cause of a desire to win the vote of 8 score or more negro members of the state legislature.
 Honcred by Neighbors.
 Judge Grace returned to Pine Bluff in 1881. and had made his home in this city continuously since that time. In 1886 he was elected city attorney, being reelected at the expiration of each term until 1892. Until 1896, Judge Grace served as election com missioner. When a, vacancy occurred in the office of circuit judge for the eleventh judicial circuit, Governor Dan w. Jones, on March 3, 1899, ap- pointed Judge Grace to that position, which he occupied continuously until death ended his tenure of office. In the sixteen years since he first don ned the robe of office, Judge Grace had opposition for reelection on two
