Phoebe Florence Lane was born in Keobuk (Lee Co.) Iowa 17 October 1859 the daughter of Samuel R. Lane and Margaret Emmeling Armstrong. She died 16 March 1938 at the home of her daughter, Loretta Nischwitz in Elk City, OK with burial in Kiowa Cemetery 18 March 1938.

George Morrison Lacey was born 31 March 1851 in Polk Co., MO. He was the son of Benjamin "Bird" Lacey and Elizabeth Watkins. He died 28 June 1903 from tuberculosis on his homestead in Roger Mills County, OT located in Section 26, Twp 14N, Range 22 WIM. He requested a stone vault be constructed for his interment. The family honored his wish.

It was in Jasper County, Missouri that Florence "Flo" Lane and George Lacey (he had dropped the "e") decided to cast their lots together and were married 5 September 1880 by the Reverend F. Joiner, Baptist minister. To this union were born six children, namely; Mary born in Galena, Kansas in 1880, Loretta N. b 1882 (md Jesse Nischwitz), Hugh Edward b 1884 at Quapaw, IT (died 1937 in California,) Emmaline b & d Galena, Kansas; Freddie b & d Galena, Kansas and Lillian Pearl b 1895 in Galena, Kansas (md Dick Pinkerton).

After George's death, Flo married John E. Lacey, a widower and cousin of her first husband. John died in 1935 and is interred in Taylor Cemetery, Pie Town, New Mexico.
