These papers consist of a small portion of the office files of U.S. Representative Stephen Pace. The files contain correspondence regarding post office appointments from 1936 to 1951.

Biographical / historical:

Stephen Pace was born in Terrell County, Georgia, near Dawson, on 9 March 1891. He attended public schools and then went on to the Georgia School of Technology in Atlanta. He eventually graduated from the law department at the University of Georgia in Athens in 1914. Pace was admitted to the bar the same year and commenced practice in Americus, Georgia.

He also pursued agricultural interests and a political career, serving as a Democrat in the Georgia State House of Representatives from 1917 to 1920 and the Georgia State Senate from 1923 to 1924. He later represented Georgia's 3rd District in the U.S. House from 1937 to 1951. Pace did not seek re-election in 1950.
