  Col. J. F. DeLacey was among the early arrivals in Eastman. He was born and
reared in New York and was of Irish descent. He came to Appling County, Georgia,
when quite a young man. He studied law under Col. Middleton Graham and was
admitted to the bar. He came to Eastman in 1875 and began the practice of his
profession. He was Mayor of Eastman several different times, and served as
Chairman of the Board of Education for several years. He was elected to the
Legislature in 1882 and again in 1888, and was one of the Omaha Fair
Commissioners in 1898. He was Solicitor-General of the Oconee Judicial Circuit
eight years. In 1883 he and Col. James Bishop, Jr., formed a law partnership
which continued until the death of Mr. Bishop. Col. DeLacey was
Lieutenant-Colonel on the Staff of Governor Allen D. Candler.

  Col. DeLacey married, first, Miss Rebecca Hall, of Appling County, and they
