Mrs. Grace Morse Drake died at 4:00am at her home two miles west of Stanton from a cerebral hemorrhage. She had been ill for ten years.
Born in Stanton, she had been a lifelong resident of Douglass township and taught school until her marriage to Herbert Drake in 1910.
GRACE by Anne Campbell:
She was well named, who had the grace
Of kindness and integrity.
The warmth and sweetness of her face
Drew friends who loved her tenderly.
Her home, by grace of tidy hands,
Reflected her own happy heart.
The sunbeams gathered there in bands.
There was no place where gloom could start.
Her grace of manner and of mind,
Her grace of speech and laughter made
A contribution well designed
For memories that will not fade.
The grace she shed upon our lives
Will linger though she walks God.
Now this queen of mothers and wives,
Who will remain forever young.
