Sace has engaged in the practice of medicine and surgery at Centralia and has also been in charge of the Employes Hospital at that place. He was born in Gratiot, Wisconsin, on the 16th of April, 1881, and is the oldest in a family of six children whose parents are Frank and Lillie (Buser) Scace, natives of New York and Pennsylvania respectively. During his active business life the father followed farming but is now living retired in Iowa, which state has been his home for many years. Dr. Scace was reared on the home farm and is indebted to the public schools of Iowa for the early educational privileges he enjoyed. After leaving high school he attended the Warren Academy of Warren, Illinois, and still later pursured the combined scientific and medical course at the University of Minnesota, from which he was graduated with the degree of M. D. in 1907. For about three years following his graduation he was connected with the Swedish and St. Barnabas Hospitals at Minneapolis, where he gained a practical experience that has been of inestimable value to him in his subsequent practice. On coming to the Pacific coast he was first conencted with the Northern Pacific Beneficiary Association Hospital in Tacoma for a year, and then loacted in South Bend, Washington, where he was engaged in general practice until his removal to Centralia in 1911. He has since been in charge of the Employes Hospital, which is owned and maintained by an association of about twenty mill firms in the vicinity and surrounding country. The hospital is well located at Seminary Hill, just east of the town of Centralia, of which is cmmands and excellent view, and the building is four stories in height and can accomodate fifty or more patients. Only graduate nurses are employed. Although the hospital is conducted by the mill owners any one of the locality is admitted, it being open to the general public as well as mill employes. Under the direction of Dr. Scace it has done excellent work and is regarded as one of the best hospitals in western Washington. On the 21st of June, 1909, Dr. Scace was married in South Bend, Washington, to Miss Fontelle Waters, a daughter of R. G. and Edna Waters, of Frances, Washington. For a number of years her father was in the employ of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company. In politics the Doctor has always been a republican since casting his first vote. He is an honored member of the county and state medical societies and holds membership in the Commercial and Automobile Clubs of Centralia. Fraternally he is connected with the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks and the Masonic order, being a Noble of Afifi Temple of the Mystic Shrine. It is in the line of profession, however, that he is best known and he is regarded as one of the leading physicians and surgeons of Lewis county.
