With his military bearing and his fine appearance, he made a picture that we loved to see." . Possibly because of his own deprivation. Major Lacey in later life took ; an - intense interest in the cause. , of

Major Lacey was further influenced by hla early boyhood days In Fountain

City and contact with the operation of the "underground railway," in which at times, he and his brother themselves were "conductors." Even as an 11 rear .old boy. he witnessed the

armed resistance in the streets of

Fountain City, offered by a group of

25 negroes to recapture by their for

mer masters.

During his continuous service in the Civil war, Major Locey kept the "home folks" acquainted with conditions at the front through letters published in the Richmond Palladium and signed

pseudonym of "Quilp."

After the war, Maj. Lacey returned

to Richmond and was for a year em ployed as a wheat buyer for the Hen

ley, Stratton and Starr company, then for two years as bookkeeper for the

Richmond Plow works. He was elect

ed chief of police of Richmond in 1869,

serving while Gen. Bennett was may

or, and resigning in 1873. After one more year of bookkeeping for King and Son, lumbermen, he went to Maryland,

where he farmed for the next 10 years Ertter Law Office.

He left the farm to practice law in

Washington. D. C. but ill health final

ly compelled him to return to Fountain City where he spent the remainder of his life. He opened an office and was active in civic affairs and in a business way until failing eyesight, shortly before the World war began, compelled him to curtail his activities. He never lost his interest in current affairs, however, and until his last sickness, enjoyed talking with his friends over events and people that were in the public eye, his opinion always being respected as that of a man n usually well informed and possessed of a world view. His career in his home town after his return, endeared him to all citizens. His first activities were concerned with securing pensions for Civil war veterans of his acquaintance and although he was very successful in getting claims allowed, he never made a charge for his services. Similar favors for others and his ever ready help for any civic' or community cause, soon "made him a warm place in the community. He was one of the organizers and promoters of the local telephone company, was made president of

the citv board of trustees in 1889, a

year after he had been elected justice of the peace, and later held practically

every office in the power of the citi

zens to give him. Active In Politics

" Maj. Lacey also became known as

ape. of the stalwart wheelhorses of the Republican party, an uncompro

mising adherent of the party whose principles he conceived to be just, and as long as his activities continued was

a prominent township and county

leader in the party councils.

His friends are found not only in all parts of ' this state, but in half the states of the Union. While still in

possession of his eyesight, Maj. Lacey

paid a visit to Col. Hadley in Califor

nia and was himself visited by Gen.

Macklin, a former war comrade. In

Michigan. Illinois and Ohio are many

acquaintances, formed through his wa record. In this town itself he was known to everyone, and himself knew most, even of the boys, by the sound

of their voices. .

He was a charter member, and tho

oldest member, of the Whitewater I

O. O. F-, a member of the Masonic

lodge of Williamsburg, and of the Fountain City Knights of Pythias lodge, which he joined in 1891. He assisted in the formation of Fountain City post. No. 420, Grand Army of the

the throb of life halted throughout

the length and breadth of the land and

one moment was given to silent med itation.

The forenoon program in Paris called for a celebration of exceptional grandeur. At 11 o'clock president Millerand, accompanied by his ministers and the marshals of France and officers of the French and allied armies stood beside the tomb of the "unknown soldier beneath the Arcade

Triumph" and paid homage to his symbolic dust. The visiting Canadian officials, Finance Minister William fj. Fielding and Ernest La Pointe minister of fisheries laid a wreath on the tomb as a tribute from the Canadian government A In the moment of silence the color of 448 disbanded regiments were lowered. The stillness was ended by the pealing of bells and the roar of saluting cannons. In the afternoon Marshal Foch, Earl Haig who was commander in chief of the British armies in France and Belgium and Vice-Admiral Sir' Rossyln Wemyss, wartime British sealord stood again on the SDot

In the compiege forest where, the armistice was signed. There the chief

magistrate unveiled a monument mark

Impressive ceremonies were held in

all the principal ckies of France, and

m many places soldier monuments were unveiled today.
