Myles Alden Pace, infant son of Byron and Ruth Pace, was born May 30, 1924. He was a sweet, lovable baby and though his stay was so short and filled with suffering, he has been truly a messenger of light in the home where he became the center of all their love. His brief stay was like a delicate rosebud, growing on the garden wall, which disappeared one day, leaving those who had delighted in it believing that it had been stolen away, but in a little while they found it blooming on the other side in all its beauty and fragrance.

He passed away Dec. 16, 1924, aged 6 months and 16 days. He leaves to mourn his loss, the parents and one brother, Lawrence and three sisters: Mildred, Loraine and Pauline; one sister, Lenore, died in infancy, besides his many other relatives.
