"DEATH OF J. D. LACY. One of the Oldest Citizens of Sidney Passes Away at the Age of eighty-one years".-- Died at his residence in Sidney December 19, 1904 at 10:45 a.m. of pneumonia Jeptha D. Lacy aged 81 years 6 months and 4 days. Mr. Lacy was born in Christian county Kentucky, July 15, 1823. In an early day he removed to Illinois where he was united in marriage to Sarah A. Stone in 1849. To this union were born five children, two having died in infancy. Mr. Lacy was one of the oldest settlers of Fremont county having come here when the country was first settled. He was a devoted christian man having joined the church many years ago and was a charter member of the M. E.church at this place. Besides a host of friends he leaves a wife and three children: Theodore, Emma and Mrs. M. E. Liggett of Washington. The funeral arrangements have not been completed as some of the children have not yet arrived but will be held in the M. E. church conducted by the pastor, and the Odd Fellow's Lodge. Interment will take place in the Sidney cemetery. Mr.Lacy's familiar face on the streets of Sidney will be missed. He lived to a ripe old age and did not expect to remain here very much longer. Mrs. Lacy started to visit their daughter in Washington a few days before he took sick and has not yet returned. N.B.: Mary (Lacy) Liggett was the widow of James Liggett of Sidney, who died near Walla Walla, Washington, perhaps as many as 25 years previous. James Liggett was the son of George Ligget (sic) and wife, Mary Sayre.--W.F.
