Emmet R. Lacey

1904

Submitted by: Wanda Purcell

Emmet R. Lacey was born in Missouri in 1867 where he lived till in 1885, when he moved to Texas.

He married Miss Mollie Phillips in Brown county, Texas in 1888, and to this union one little daughter was born whom they named Trudie, now eleven years of age.

He came to Oklahoma in the early settlement days, staking a fine claim on Nine Mile Creek in 1894, where he lived until the time of his death, which occured June 1904.

For quite a while he had been a sufferer of that dreaded disease, cancer of the stomach and he had gone to El Paso, Texas, for treatment. The doctors there could give him no hope for recovery and he returned home to die. He arrived just too late to see his mother, who was buried three days before he reached home.

Emmet was a genial, whole-souled, whole hearted man, always pleasant, kindly, hospitable to friend and stranger alike, a hard worker, clever at his business and a citizen whom many loved. Suffering untold agony as he did in his last days, he was often sighing for release and when the angel of death knocked at his door, he was ready and departed into the peace that passeth understanding.

Burial in Kiowa Cemetery, Roger Mills County, Oklahoma.
