Lacey was born in Missouri in 1867 where he lived till in 1885 when he moved to Texas, He married Miss Mollie Phillips in Brown County, Texas in 1885 and to this union one little daughter was born whom they named Trudie, now eleven years of age. He came to Oklahoma in the early settlement days taking a fine claim on Nine Mile Creek in 1894, where he lived until the time of his death, which occured June 18, 1904. For quite a while he had been a sufferer of that dreaded disease, cancer of the stomach and he had gone to El Paso, Texas for treatment. The doctors then could give him no hope for recovery and he returned home to die. He arrived just too late to see Gus Nitherm who was buried three days before he reached home. Emmett was a genial wholesouled, whole hearted man, always pleasant, kindly, hospitable to friend and stranger alike, a hard worker, clever at his business and a citizen whom many loved. Suffering untold agony as he did in his last days he was often sighinh for release and when the angel of death knocked at his door, he was ready and departed into the "the peace that passeth understand."
