This is Fannie (Conley) Pace. I don't know where the picture was taken, although she lived her later years in Portsmouth Ohio. She was born Fannie Lou Conley in Eastern Kentucky. She was the daughter of the Reverend James A. and Susan "Linnie" (Musick) Conley. This family made their home in Magoffin county Kentucky. She married "Prince" Albert Pace.
This is Fannie with her MANY grandchildren! The man next to her is her second husband Bill Cottle.
Fannie was a very religious woman and spent many hours in this Pentecostal church above during her later years near Portsmouth Ohio. Just down the road from her church was this small store below that she opened in the community.
This is a family portrait of James A. and "Linnie" Susan (Musick) Conley with one of their daughters. Family rumor says this is Fannie as a little girl. But Fannie had many sisters, and we're not completely certain.
This is a portrait of James A. Conley which hangs in his former church in Bonanza Kentucky. On November 7, 1867 he founded and pastored the Abbott Church of United Baptist. The caption reads: "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course."
Another picture of James A. Conley
This man is Fannie's husband, "Prince" Albert Pace. Born in 1874 and died in 1923, Albert was a farmer and coal worker in Magoffin County Kentucky.
This is the young Pace family: Albert and Fannie are the two adults in the back row left. The rest of the group include: L-R, Pearl, Albert, Challie, Fannie, Alberta, Vearl, Dora, Gracie, Raleigh, Ernest, Leneva.
This picture was taken several years and many children later. By the absence of Albert from this photo, it was probably taken near the time of his death. For more pictures of the Pace sisters after they grew up, see the Reunions page.
This couple is Albert Pace's parents: Matthew and Elizabeth (Salyer) Pace, also from the Magoffin County Kentucky area.
