Little Gracie was born in 1883, the only child of her parents, her father was the manager of the Pulaski House, one of Savannah's leading Hotels where the beautiful and charming little girl was a favorite with the guests. Two days before Easter, in April,1889, Gracie died of pneumonia at the age of six. In 1890, when the rising sculptor, John Walz, moved to Savannah, he carved this life-size memorial delicately detailed marble statue, using a photograph. The statue has captured the interest of passersby for over a century.
