She is buried in St. Alphonsus Catholic Cemetery in Lemont, Illinois.
Unfortunately, the portrait has been broken, but thanks to David Mather, there is a photo of her on her Find-a-Grave listing:
Interestingly, the Cook County Deaths Index that I found via Ancestry lists the correct date of birth and death for her, but lists St. Boniface Cemetery.
Looking at the 1910 census, she is found there, the daughter of William and Ida. Both of her parents have a listed age of 42, which I thought was interesting — apparently, she was a baby they had somewhat late in life.

AbbyLiza M Pace, died August 2, 1855, Aged 4 months and 2 days. Only child of Captain John and Abby B Pace.
She is buried in Grove Cemetery in Belfast, Maine. I took this photo in 2008, before cemetery photography was really something I became serious about — and thus, I wasn’t careful to look for, and photography, any markers for Captain Pace or his wife.
I did find mention of them, though, in a book, Vital Records of Belfast Maine to the Year 1892. It lists AbbyLiza’s death, and also lists that Abby B Pace died on June 17, 1865 at the age of 45 from consumption.

I thought I’d do something a bit different this week, and instead of posting a photo with any information I’ve been able to dig up, I thought I’d post about photo effects that I use.
I don’t have photoshop, or a photo editing software on my computer, but I find that I can do just about everything I want with a online editor called iPiccy. The first thing I do is upload a photo and crop it, and maybe straighten it out if needed, and sometimes, that’s enough.
But sometimes, I like to play a bit with colors/textures/effects (especially in October, when it can be fun to play up the “spooky” side of cemeteries). In iPiccy, it can just take a few minutes to produce some interesting results:

One of the other effects that I find I use fairly often is to make a photo black/white or sepia toned, because that can sometimes bring out details on the stone that my original photo color photo just didn’t show.
I’m always looking for tips — does anyone have any they’d like to share? 🙂
