    1. [COLLINS] LACY - COLLINS Family Photograph
    2. Shelley Cardiel
    3. I've "rescued" an old photograph of W. B. LACY which was taken at the W. S. Gardner Studio in Corvallis, Oregon. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1890's with the young man in the photograph likely in his 20's at the time it was taken. In addition to his name, someone appears to have written the initials "JEA" on the back of the photograph as well. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding the young man in the photograph: William B. LACY was b. Apr 1872 in OR and first married Laura E. COLLINS (b. Aug 1872 in OR) in about 1899 in OR. Census records provide the following information: 1900 census of Corvallis, OR: Wm COLLINS, age 57, born Mar 1843, married 35 years, born MO, parents born VA/KY, a Farmer Mary L. COLLINS, wife, age 55, born Jul 1844, married 35 years, 6 children/3 living, born MO, parents born VA/KY Ralph L. COLLINS, son, age 17, born Oct 1882, born OR, at School Wm B. LACY, son-in-law, age 28, born Apr 1872, married 1 year, born OR, parents born IL/OH, a Dry Goods Salesman Laura LACY, dau, age 27, born Aug 1872, married 1 year, no children, born OR 1920 census of Portland, OR: William B.

LACY, dau, age 1 month, born OR David REX, father-in-law, age 76, born OH, parents born PA Mary Jane REX, mother-in-law, age 70, born IN, parents born VA I am hoping to be able to return the photograph to a member of this LACY Family.
