Death indeed rides on the wind. In an experience of 25 years in Stanford, we have never known the dread monster to cut so indiscriminately and so furiously. One of the saddest of the many deaths was that of Mrs. Mary Lackey, wife of Hon. G. A. Lackey, who breathed her last shortly after 7 P. M. Sunday from heart trouble, complicated with other diseases. Deceased was a daughter of the late Dr. Thomas Welch, of Crab Orchard, and was of nine children peculiarly blessed with physical and mental charms, the survivors being Mrs. Hannah Jennings, of St. Louis; Mrs. Ophelia Thompson and Miss Clara Welch, of Chicago; Dr. Sam Welch, of Texas, and Col. W. G. Welch, of this place. She was born Feb. 15, 1844, and was married to Mr. Lackey, Sep. 17, 1867. Five children blessed their union, Mrs. J. C. Bailey, Miss Ophelia Lackey, T. T., G. T. and W. G. Lackey, all of whom were present at the end, Mr. W. G. Lackey, who lives in St. Louis, arriving a few hours before and having the satisfaction of being recognized and embraced by her. Uniting with the Christian church in early life, she lived a life of beauty and piety, and when the summons came, she was able to say, "Thine, not my will, oh, Lord, be done." She was conscious of her approaching death and felt no fears of meeting her Master face to face, satisfied that she would receive His plaudit. A devoted wife, a loving and tender mother, an excellent neighbor, a faithful friend, she goes hence mourned by others than her weeping husband, children, brothers and sisters. May the great comforter give consolation and reunite them all where there is no more parting and no more death.
The funeral will be held today at the Christian church, and after a sermon by Rev. F. W. Allen, all that is mortal of wife, sister and mother will be laid to rest in Buffalo Cemetery.
