The Hazard Herald, 6 February 1919 Copied from microfilm by Allen Watts Transcribed by Freddie Wilson 2 Aug 2004 JAMES ("FOGGY") STACY DIES The entire community was saddened last week by news of the death of James Stacy, familiarly known as "Foggy", on Tuesday at his home on upper Second Creek. He had been in failing health for several months, and the end came gradually, so it was not a shock. He was buried Wednesday by the local lodge of the Masons and Oddfellows. A large family survives him, and the older sons are already numbered among our formost citizens. "Uncle Jim" Stacy was one of the very best citizens Perry county has produced, and Perry county has, and has had, very many of nature's vertiable Princes among men. He was always kind, honorable and generous to a fault. A good father and husband, and his every spoken word was truth and reliability to every man. A truly honorable man, and all honored him as such. a good man, who had lived well to a ripe advanced age, has passed from our ??ldst, and many, beside his own family, will mourn his loss. [James "Foggy Jim" Stacy was born 28 Nov 1844 in Perry county, s/o John Stacy & Cynthia Smith. "Foggy" had 16 known children by three wives. He died Tuesday, 28 January 1919 at his home on Second Creek at age 74 years.] Freddie
