denomination and united with the Lutheran church, which is situated in the
vicinity of his residence. Mr. Lacey aimed to live a straightforward, prompt
and consistent life, in all his dealings with his fellow men and the confidence,
esteem and respect with which all who knew him regarded him manifest the
complete sucess of his ambition. Of Mr. Lacey's ten children, four - Mary
C., Ann Eliza, Townsend I. and Isabella are dead. Caroline, the widow of
Parker L. Morgan, lives in Licking twp; Leah Jane, wife of Abraham Armstrong
and Willliam W. reside in Newark; Charlotte lives at home. Walter M. is
