As such is given the brief statement of the life of Henry Lackey, who was born March 9, 1797, in Crawford County, Pennsylvania. To those who are conversant with schools of that period where they existed, it would scarcely be necessary to say that he who got even a common education did well. Like many another sensible man, the culture of the fields has been his chosen avocation in life. On April 19, 1819, he married Eunice Hazen, of New Jersey. She was born in 1795, and was therefore two years his senior. They have had six children, -three sons and three daughters; four of the six are still living. Mrs. Lackey died June 26, 1862, having reached a good old age. Her husband still survives in his seventy- ninth year. Age begins to tell upon him, yet his mind is clear and his step firm. He is spending his remaining days with his oldest child, Mrs. Walp, who joins with her kind husband in perpetuating the names of honored parents. Foty years those parents walked the journey of life together; forty years the familiar step was heard upon the threshold of a happy home, then death came and separation. The wife went on before, and in God's good time the lonely husband will be called to follow. --part0_915919215_boundary--
