Hi Everyone, I am looking for information on the Claude LACEY family of Monterey County. I have his marriage and death information, as well as a few other tidbits, such as census information. The reason I am looking for information, particularly any descendants is that the Monterey County Historical Society is preparing to restore the home Claude LACEY lived in at 459 Soledad Street in downtown Salinas. The house was designed by pioneer California architect William Henry WEEKS and built on Lot 5 of Block 5 in the SPRING Addition. We are especially interested in any photographs of the house, both exterior and interior shots, from the early part of the 20th century, before the house was renovated. The house is a beautiful six-room, one-story Queen Anne. In 1989, KUMAR Consstruction Company moved the house to the Society's property to make way for a motel parking lot on the house's original site. The house is one of a very few houses of its size that still exists. The Society plans to restore the house to its original state and furnish it as a House Museum of the 1900s period. We would very much like to include information about the family that first lived in the house. Here is what I have so far on Claude LACEY: • He was born September 1, 1864 in California to Joseph and Isabella LACEY. [He died March 22, 1944 in Monterey County at age 79]. • In 1880, Claude [15] was living at home in Castroville with his parents and siblings James [22, b: CAN, Blacksmith], George [18, b: CA, Blacksmith], Joseph [7] and Clara [4]. • He was a Justice of the Peace, a Salinas attorney, and member of the 29th Session of the State Assembly. • He married Emma EDRINGTON on June 20, 1888 in Salinas.[Emma was born Nov. 23, 1866 in Kentucky and died May 26, 1953 in Santa Cruz County at age 86]. • Claude and Emma had at least one daughter, Doris, born September 19, 1902. Her married name was CALLENDER and she died March 11, 1953 at age 50. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, Anita C. Monterey County
