Sarah Grace Bakarich

Sarah Grace Bakarich (1903-1992), also known as Grace McCool, was an American author who wrote with the personal authority of experience about the hardships and tribulations of pioneer life. Born Sarah Grace Edgerton on March 16, 1903 in Waterloo, Iowa to Frank and Etta Page, Bakarich came to Arizona in 1929 with her husband, Michael Bakarich, and three children to settle in Bisbee. Much of the home building and daily chores at the Quarter Circle B Ranch, as it was known then, was done by her and the children, as her husband worked in the mines. During those early years, she gave birth to five more children and taught school. In 1948 Michael Bakarich was killed in a mining accident, leaving her to raise eight children alone. At about that time, she began her career as a writer, inspired by the stories she heard from the pioneers and their children, and the material she found while researching the fate of a long-lost relative. Her research led her to write her first western history article for the Chicago Tribune, and she continued to write articles for the Bisbee Review, Douglas Dispatch, Tombstone Epitaph, Arizona Republic, Arizona Daily Star, and The Bisbee Observer. Bakarich married her second husband, Dr. M. M. McCool, in 1950, but he died in 1954. She continued to write and published four books about the history of Cochise County and has had more than 1,500 articles printed in 16 different publications. She was also a licensed local preacher in the Methodist Church. Bakarich died on January 25, 1992 at her home, the Lazy Y-5 Ranch on Moson Road near Sierra Vista in Bisbee, Cochise County, aged 88.
