Lacey, whose maiden name was Stewart, was born in Missouri in 1832. She was married to Tom Willliams first and after his death in 1857, she married Nathan H. Lacey in 1860. Her second husband died in 1883. Mrs Lacey came from Boliver, Missouri, to Oklahoma in 1897 and took a claim in the Custer Bend neighborhood near Red Lake where she lived a highly esyeemed citizen and well beloved old lady, until her death, which occured May 13, 1904. She was a kind, loving mother, never too tired to do anything for her children. She was a good neighbor and always ready to help the poor and needey in every wat she coould. Everybody who knew "Grandma Lacey" went to her for advice and help in their troubles, and she was uniformly ready to advise and assist, While she was not in her earkier years a religious woman, she felt that need of religion in her later years and diligently prayed for God's favor and blessing; and in His mercy He heard her prayer and gave His peace, even as she had given to the poor. Six children survive her, L.M. Williams and Mrs. E.L. Kepley who were children by her first husband and J.E., E.B. and J.B. Lacey and Mrs. Alice Yost, children by her second husband, E.R. Lacey has since died and his last illness prevented an earlier attention to his mother's obituary.
