  Mrs. J.T. Stockton (Eliza Jane Pace) was born near Newbern, Tenn., Dec. 20, 1857. She was the daughter of William C. and Eliza May Pace. She became an orphan in the days of the Civil War when her father, a Confederate soldier, was taken captive, wounded and later died; her mother died from shock when he was captured.
  She died Oct. 30, and funeral services were in the Methodist church at Dyer--since a new church of her denomination is under construction. Rev. Glenn Finley, assisted by other local ministers, was in charge of the service. Interment was in Mount Olive Cemetery near Dyer.
  She was reared by her brother and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Tom Pace, near Newbern. She married the Rev. Joseph Thomas Stockton Sept. 17, 1874. Her husband died April 6, 1943, at the age of 91; they had celebrated their 68th wedding anniversary a few months before his death.
  To this union were born 11 children, seven of whom survive. They are: Homer D. Stockton, Orlando, Fla.; E.D. Stockton, Rev. Thomas Cannon Stockton, Miss Obera Stockton and Mrs. Edna S. Jackson, all of Memphis; Mrs. A.C. Horner and Mrs. G.W. Marrs of Dyer. There are ten grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren.
  Her early years were spent during the Civil War period. She had two sons who served in World War I and four grandsons and one great grandson who served in World War II. A great grandson is now in the service.
  Her entire life has been lived in Gibson and Dyer Counties. The last three years have been spent at her home place in Dyer with Mr. and Mrs. A.C. Horner.
  In her early girlhood she united with the Cumberland Presbyterian Church and remained a faithful member until her death. Her husband served as a minister of the church for about 70 years.
