Guy Henry Frace, M. D., whose suite of offices is at Nos. 1 and 3, Porter block, Grand Rapids, was born in Saranac, Mich., September 15, 1873, a son of Henry and Mary A. (Shaw) Frace, the former a native of Easton, Pa., and the latter of Saranac, Mich., where they now live, and where the father is engaged in mercantile trade. Of the four sons born to these parents Claude A., the eldest, is a clerk for his father; Dr. Guy H. is the second in order of birth; Howard, the third son, is a dentist in Ironwood, Mich., and Lewis Ray, the youngest, is still at home.

Dr. Guy . Frace Frace was educated primarily in the public schools of Saranac, next attended the Business college in Ionia, Mich., the Agricultural college at Lansing, from which he graduated with the degree of bachelor of science. His professional education was begun in the fall of 1895 in the office of Dr. H. O. Walker, at Detroit, where he studied diligently for two years, and at the same time attended the Detroit Medical college, graduating from this famous institution in May, 1898. Soon after this event, having been assured in advance of his appointment, he came to Grand Rapids and assumed his duties as resident physician at the Butterworth hospital, which position he held until January 1, 1899, when he entered into a general practice as physician and surgeon at his present elegant rooms in the Porter block, and this practice, in its success, has exceeded his most sanguine expectations.

Fraternally, the doctor is a member of the Masonic lodge at Saranac; religiously he conforms to the faith of the Congregational church, of which he is a consistent member, and politically he is a democrat. Personally, he is of most modest demeanor, and professionally stands high in the esteem of his fellow practitioners as well as of the general public, with whom his success in life altogether depends, as he well knows, and which he can always command through his natural talents and practical skill.
