Mr. Grace was surprised one day by tid
ing notified that he had been nominated
and elected county surveyor of Lake
county, but not desiring the office, he
did not qualify, and soon after moved to
this county and bought a farm on the
Clackamas river, where he farmed for
three years, after which he engaged in
the general merchandise business, and
h s been interested in that business
ever since.
In 1806 he was elected sheriff on the
populist ticket, defeating Eli Maddock
b nearly 1000 majority, but, not desir
ing a second term refused to allow his
name to go before the convention. He
was afterward elected councilman from
Oregon City No. 3, his name being
placed on both tickets, and served one
year and resigned on ac count of removal
to Ward No. 1, where he still resides.
Search Clackamas county from

a man enjoying the well-merited esteem
of his fellow men to a greater extent than
