Notes:

Burt L. Lackey, D. D. S.
.....Dr. Burt L. Lackey, dental surgeon at Xenia, was born in the vicinity of Oakland, in Clinton county, this state, June 15, 1872, son of Enos Ellsworth and Laura (Sellars) Lackey, both of whom were born and reared in the neighboring county of Warren and the latter of whom is still living, now making her home at Xenia.
.....Enos Ellsworth Lackey was born on September 30, 1844, a son of Enos Lackey and wife, pioneers of Warren county, the former of whom was born in 1802 and who were the parents of fourteen children. Reared in Warren county, Enos E. Lackey later made his home for a while in Clinton county and in 1873 moved to the village of New Burlington, on the Green-Clinton county line and was there engaged in the general lumber business the rest of his life, operating a saw-mill and dealing in lumber, timber and logs and also engaged as a building contractor, his death occurring there on January 9, 1903. Mr. Lackey was a Republican and for years rendered service as a member of the local school board. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, as is his widow, and at the time of his death was a member of the official board of the same. To him and his wife were born three sons, of whom Doctor Lackey is the youngest, the others being Walter Lackey, of New Burlington, a farmer, and Raymond L. Lackey, who was engaged in the grocery business at New Burlington and who died on September 1, 1907.
.....Upon completing the course in the New Burlington high school Burt L. Lackey began teaching school and for three years thereafter was the teacher of the school in the Buck Run district in Clinton county. He matriculated at the Ohio College of Dentistry and was graduated from that institution with the class of 1896. Thus equipped for the practice of his profession, Doctor Lackey returned to his home at New Burlington and opened an office there, continuing in practice at that place for eighteen months, at the end of which time, in January, 1898, he located at Xenia, where he ever since has been engaged in practice, with present offices in the Steele building. Preparatory to his marriage in 1902, Doctor Lackey built a house at 20 Home avenue, Xenia, where he is still living.
.....Doctor Lackey has been twice married. On September 10, 1902, he was united in marriage to Ada Frances Clark, who was born and reared in Gallia county, this state, and who for nine years prior to her marriage had been engaged as a special teacher at the Ohio Soldiers and Sailors Orphans Home at Xenia. To that union were born three children, Clark, born on December 10, 1903; Dorothy, May 9, 1907, and Helen, January 1, 1911. The mother of these children died on March 27, 1914, and on June 30, 1915, Doctor Lackey married Jessella Beebe, who was born at Kingman, Kansas, and who was reared at Elwood Indiana, in which latter city her father, John W. Beebe, is still living. [Source: Michael A. Broadstone, "History of Greene County, Ohio: its people, industries and institutions", Indianapolis, B.F. Bowen, 1918, pg. 654, 6550]

My dear Girl,
—Greetings in His name. You surely did take our breath away with your sudden announcement.
—It is nothing more than we could expect. It is the natural consequence when two people learn to love each other you are both old enough to decide and to feel the responsibility you are taking upon Yourselves. It is proper that you should at your age. God gave woman to man to be a helpmate. You will find that in Gen. 2: 18. I am sure that you realize how important it is to establish a home according to the teaching of god’s Word. You will find many passages in the Word showing the proper relationship between husband and wife and of responsibility of each to the other. I trust that Mother & I have been faithful in giving you the proper instructions along these lines. It has been hard on us to se eyou growing older and getting away from the old roof here. I felt a great responsibility on me when you (a Mere babe) was left without a mother. I shed many tears over you. I have always been glad though that you could have such a good step mother to love your and help guide your foot steps. The tears flow agin and I think of giving you into the hands of another, not that we mis-trust Harry in any way, for he is already like a son to us. You have been a dutiful daughter and I know that you will be a dutiful wife. I certainly can congratulate Harry in winning your love. Do not think that your pathway through life will be all roses, but remember that God will guide you over the stoney and thorny pathway if He permits it to be such. This life here is only of short duration, and the hard and trying ordeals here endured by His grace, will help us to enjoy the glory over there.
—We will try to make things work out for your wedding in the way you wish them. We can not go to great expense but we know that you do not wish that. It can be made nice and a happy occasion without excessive expenses. We can talk over the various arrangements when we see yu.
—I think that I will write to Clark & Leota today and possibly send your letter so they can be making their arrangements to attend if it is possible for them to do so. He operation might be in the way.
—I hardly know just what you mean by getting out two bonds. I may have to wait till I see you. They are of different denominations, fifty and one hundred.
—We haven’t told Bobby. Mother thinks it might be hard for him trying to keep it secret. She did not mean that she thought he would tell it, but that it might be a burden for him to keep it so long. We will be looking for your Sat. P.M.
—God bless you and keep you centered in His will. We pray for you each day and are anxious that you trust and obey Him. That is the only way to be happy and contented.
Loads & loads of love
Day

Xenia, O. July 12/37
My Dear Harry & Helen,
Greetings in His name. We certainly did enjoy your letter rec’d last Thursday. You certainly did get around & see your relatives on that trip into Maine. I wish I could have been with you I would have enjoyed so much meeting all those cousins I have read your letter over several times until I have all the cousins fixed in my mind pretty well now, as well as where they live. I knew that you would enjoy going up there and meeting them. I had heard so much about them from Grandpa & Grandma Clark but of course that was 30 years ago or more. The thing that puzzles me in that the old home at Winterport should burn down 30 or 40 years ago and not hear about it. The letter written to Clark Feb. 20 1927 by Ed Clark states that his brother Fred lived on the old home farm at that time. What has become of Fred and his brother Brad. I believe Clark said that Ed Clark died some few years ago. They were the sons of Uncle Augustus Clark. We have a picture taken years ago at the home place when grandpa & Grandma Clark were visiting there. It has the three brothers in it and the families of Uncle Steve & Augustus in it. I have intended to hunt tha picture and look at it again since getting your letter but haven’t got around to it. Bobby & I did take the atlas, find the map of maine and look up all the places you visited. I would like to see a road map of Maine. It would be easier to find them & be easier to understand the relative positions on that kind of map. I see by the atlas that Winterport only had about 1000 inhabitants and Auburn about 2000. It must have been quite thrilling to drive right up to Ward’s house and enquire for them. They are such good friends of Clark & Leota and I know that they were glad to meet you and have a visit with you. I never met Mrs. Ward either, but I spend a whole day with Mr. Ward the first time I visited Clark & Leota at Mt. Airy. He, Clark, Leota & I went down to Blowing Rock one day sight seeing. I found him to be quite a fine gentleman but rather quiet. We will be glad to see the pictures yu took when you get them developed. Coz. Addie must be quite an interesting person. I know you must have had quite a nice visit with her, her son & family. I have been wondering why she did not mention her brother Maurice living at Winterport. It must be a quaint old place judging from the picture you sent. I presume it looked odd to you to see the houses & barns built so close and connected by a shed. Their winters are very long and severe & they have lots of snow. In speaking of the old home place, you remember the water color picture of it that hung in Grandpa Clarke’s home & Aunt Maimie got for one of your children after Grandma’s death. It is over at Dorothy & Claudes. Your mother had it painted here by Mrs. Collins & gave it to Grandpa for Xmas 1901. It was the Xmas before we were married. I went home with her for Xmas & I carried that picture with us. I always thought it was such a pretty picture. We have a picture of Coz. Addies daughter Sara taken when she graduated from High school. I saw it among the pictures just a short time ago. She was a very pretty girl. I am wondering if you have written to Clark & Leota since you were up in Maine. I think that I will send your letter to them for they will be interested in your trip. We haven’t heard from them for two or three weeks. Leota wasn’t well at that time and they were trying to find out the cause of her ailment. Mary E. has finally gotten back home. She was gone four weeks. They came over just before supper time last evening. I wish that you could see the baby. He walks everyplace now. He is such a tiny little fellow to walk. Prudomes have fences in a portion of the back yard for Philip and a white rabbit. Philip was a year old last March, but he hasn’t been walking very long. Mary E. took the baby over there & put him in the pen with Philip & the rabbit they had quite a fine time chasing the rabbit. I wish you could see the kitchen & bath room since Mother & Bobby have painted in there. They have gotten to be real artists. I believe they are going to put one more coat on the upper part of the kitchen. I looks very nice now but another coat will make it look still better. The paint underneath the paper was so very dark. I think it would have looked “OK” if they had painted over the paper.
Mother says that she is going to work at a tailoring job this week. She is goin to alter the white suit & see if she can make it fit me. She thinks that she can do it “OK”. It surely is a nice suit such nice goods. I surely am grateful to you dear ones for it and will be so glad to wear it this hot weather when it is made to fit me.
—I presume that Dorothy has written you about their “smash up” two weeks ago. They got their car last Thursday. It would be hard to tell it had been torn up so badly. I could no tell it. Dorothy & Mary E. saw a wreck last Friday evening, at the junction of 40 & 48, from Jim & Hazel’s window. It made them so nervous again. Dorothy thought at first it might be Claude coming home from sales meeting. Well, I must close here . God bless & keep you both.
Lovingly Dad
P.S. I will send Coz. Addies letter back.
It is strange that you had not seen all the pictures we sent to you. It must have been the ones taken in NC. the last time we were there. The ones of Bobby & Nora F. was taken when they were here Xmas.

My dear Helen,
—I do not know what made me so forgetful. I wrote to you this morning and forgot about your birthday. We have been speaking about it lately. I said a day or two ago that New Years day doesn't seem right when you are not home to celebrate your birthday with us.
—Well, my dear, it is hard to believe that you will be 27 years old. It does not seem so long since that New Years morning that you arrived in our home. Your Mother & I were so glad you came to us and we have never been disappointed for you have always brought us such joy. I will never forget your third birthday. Your mother and I left for Pittsburgh a few minutes before the New Year and your birthday came in. We hated to be away on your birthday but arrangements had been made for us to go at that time so we left. We left a gray sweater to be given to you. How we did miss you dear children while we were away and how anxious we were to get back to you at the end of the month. Just a few short weeks and Mother left us and I can say that you dear children have meant so much to me since that time. You were the baby and she hated to have to leave you right in your tender years. She must be anxiously waiting for us on the other side and we must keep these facts in our minds as we go through this life. My best goes out in peace and gratitude to our blessed Lord Jesus for His sacrifices, which makes it possible to meet these dear once again.
—Pray that we will all be ready when the summons comes. It may be soon.
God bless you, my dear one,
Love in abundance,
Affectionately
Dad

My Dear Harry & Helen,
—Greetings in His name. We were indeed very glad to get your letter day before yesterday telling us about Helen's condition. Also yesterday morning a letter came from Dorothy telling us of the nature of the operation as contained in a letter to them. We are so glad for the information, especially since the information is encouraging. I suppose that you are thinking about this being the 20th and about the happy event eleven months ago today. This little one sure is a prize possession. She is such a healthy, happy little one and is so affectionate. We are enjoying her and Jon so much. Jon was so happy & busy when I left, carrying his cases out in front and placing them by the maple tree to be gathered up today. H, Bob and I went down to U. B. after school yesterday to do some cleaning up for Aunt Lou. She ask us Sunday if Bob couldn't come down some time and clean the garden off so she could have it plowed and sowed in grass. Jon & I went with him and mowed the lawn, Jon helped some as best he could. He was such a nice boy. Bob found some little baby rabbits in the leaves. He was so interested in them. He is to go to Dayton tomorrow afternoon and Dorothy is to meet him and take him out to spend Sat. with the boys and they will all come over Sunday.
—Last week Aunt Lou had an attack with her heart and she is having to be very quiet. She says that she can do is to get something for her to eat. She is all alone. Minnie has not returned. I do not think that she expects her to stay with her when she does return. Bernie & Emma McKay are very good to her Emma has been looking after the furnace.
— I fired it & Bob carried out the ashes before we left. She says that she is so cold. I suppose her circulation is very poor. She said that she thought she would come to Xenia today for she had heard from Carl Marshall that things are ready for her to sign papers etc.
—Mother & I went to the funeral of Max Barnard yesterday. afternoon at Neeld's Parlor. He died very suddenly Sat. evening. I had an appointment to fill his teeth at 1:30 P.M. Monday, I wondered why he didn't come and didn't know why till I picked up the Gazette at home and saw the notice of his death. He was in the office Thursday P.M. and made the appointment. He was engaged to Martha Beam. It seemed that most of the Beam family were at the funeral. It was a very large funeral. He was a member of Flenners Church in Dayton and he preached the funeral sermon.
— Bob says that he expects to have to go to Cincinnati by the 19th of May for a physical examination. He & Clarence Schardt went to Dayton day before yesterday to see if they could enlist in the Navy but they found that they couldn't and would have to come under the draft. He thinks that he will not have very much time after commencement before he will have to go.
— Jno Pramer is down at Camp Breckenridge in Kentucky now. I imagine that they have given up trying to get him ready to go out into combat service again. Bill Earnest is in England and is so home sick. Fred Harrison & Ralph Lucas, Jr. are in Calif. ready to be shipped out. Bill Harrison is in camp in Virginia. He may go soon. His wife was down to see him over the week end. I did not get this finished this A. M. It is now almost 5 o'clock & I will finish it & get it in the mail as I go home. Mother had both of the children down for their nap when I left at noon. They are both good sleepers. Jon slept all the time we were gone to the funeral yesterday p.m. and we had to wake him to get him ready to go with Bob & me. I do hope that you are continuing to improve. God bless you both. Much love.
Dad

My dear Harry & Helen,
—Your good letter arrived yesterday A.M. I thought I would get a letter off to you yesterday P.M. but did not get to it. Mother said that I would have to do the writing if you get a letter for she is sewing on your dress every chance she has. She said it as she promised Jon she would bake a cake & send him for his birthday & she just thought since supper that his birthday is next Monday, so she mixed up a cake & got it in the oven before she washed the dishes. She says that she does not know how good it will be but it will be a cake. She just said that you left a bottle of milk. She said that she will send the bottle when she sends the dress. Leota & children went out to her folks yesterday A.M. Howard came for them. Viva told me a few minutes ago that they are to be out there Sunday & if any mail comes for her that they will take it out. They were down there to supper Tuesday evening. Ruby was there too. We took Nora F. to Dayton Tuesday A.M. & got the tooth out. I got them their teeth filled & cleaned on Monday. They are to come in the first of the week. I have the dentures about done. I will fit them in & she says that they will go over to C & D's for 2 days & by that time I can tell if they need some trimming or grinding.
—John Pramer & Florence Haines are to be married tomorrow. He is home on a furlough till the 22d. Mrs. P. was in the office this afternoon. She doesn't like it so well. We have had 3 letters from Bob since Sunday. One went to Mt. Airy & back. He has been to church the last two Sundays. He says the services there at the rifle range are fine. He says "the chaplain is swell & he preaches the things you folks have taught me for 18 years." He said that the service last Sunday was a communion service. He says that he was shocked when he read about LeRoy Scherry's death in the Gazette. He said that he wanted us to include him when we expressed our sympathy to Mr & Mrs Scherry. He said he could not forget how nice Mr. Scherry was to him before he left. He says in his last letter that he has finally run on to someone from Xenia. His name is Shumaker and he worked for Chenoweth. His wife lives on S. Detroit. Bob said that she was going down there next Sunday. Mother went up to see his wife yesterday morning and she found out that she had started the day before. She may be able to see her when she returns. I bought Bob another money belt yesterday & we are going to send it to him. He had his money belt & money stolen. In the letter he wrote a week ago he says that it will be 3 or 4 weeks before he will get a furlough and get home. I do hope that he gets a furlough & gets home. Arthur Miller at the P. Office told me this A.M. that his boy did not get a furlough after he got through his boat training down there. Hattie Erwin told me Monday that Jno. Loveless is in the East ready to be sent out & that Richard in England is to be married to an English girl. Russell Metty has already married an English girl. We were so glad that you got home for the week. We sure enjoyed having you with us and we will be looking for you again next month. Mary E. came home in the night last night. She says that she will be in again Sat. night. We have seen so little of her since we returned home. I saw her on the way home to lunch as she was going into town. Mother just now showed me how nicely she has the cake packed in a box. I hope it carries OK.
God bless you all,
Much love to all
Dad

Correspondence:
Monday Morning
My dear Burt,
—How does that sound? I felt so mean last night after going up stairs. You asked me if I couldn't let you know about Mrs. Young's party tonight, and I seemed to think you ought to telephone me. Now I am going to surprise you by writing you a note this morning. I was just as mean as I could be last night, but I did not mean anything. i think you are spoiling me by always giving up to me, but then it is nice to be teated that way. I guess Mrs. young is going to entertain the teachers tonight. I am very sorry for I would so much rather spend the evening with you than with those people. Just think it will only be one more week that I get to see you at all. Max is not coming, I had letter from him this morning. I wrote Lulu Phillips, she may not be at home now, but I will hear from her right away if she is in Harveysburg. I do not think Miss Patterson will go in to Mrs. Fultons tomorrow night. I am two notes ahead of you so now I am going to let you write some.
Yours, Ada
June 18th
—Miss Hubbell just received a letter from Mr. P. he can not get off to take that trip Thursday, so I suppose we will all have to give it ___. I hope you have not written to your uncle.

A GOOD WOMAN
Passed Away at Xenia, Ohio, After Long Illness.
The following account of the death of a well-known Gallia County, girl is taken from the Xenia Daily Republican of Friday March 27, 1914:
A beautiful life, full of love and tender devotion to her home and little children, came to a close today in the death of Mrs. Ada Clark Lackey, wife of Dr. Bert L. Lackey, well known dentist, who passed away at her home 20 Home Avenue, twenty minutes after ten, Friday morning. Mrs. Lackey had lain in an unconscious condition for hours preceding the end and death came peacefully and quietly. Cancer, which became apparent November 7 a year ago, was the immediate cause of death and during the weary months when she was confined to her home, Mrs. Lackey displayed a beautiful Christian fortitude bearing her sufferings without a murmur, except for her little ones, from whom death would separate her. Her husband and children have the sympathy of her scores of friends in their great bereavement.
Ada Clark Lackey was born November 7, 1871, at Raccoon Island, Gallia county, and was a daughter of Hon. Amos Clark, at one time a member of the State Board of Equalization, and a prominent retired farmer, broker and merchant of that place. Mr. Clark died at the Lackey home in this city, June 4, 1912. Her mother passed away when Mrs. Lackey was but three years of age, but a step-mother gave her and her brother and sister all of the tender care of a mother. She survives and lies in Gallipolis, Ohio.
Mrs. Lackey finished her education at Lebanon National Normal institute and at Ohio Wesleyan university at Delaware, where she took a special art course. For a time she taught penmanship in the public schools of Manchester and in 1891 came to Xenia where she was appointed instructor in penmanship and bookkeeping at the O. S. & S. O. Home, which position she held for nine years. It was here that she met Dr. L. B. Lackey, and their marriage was solemnized September 10, 1902. They went to housekeeping within a short time in a newly built home on Home avenue, where they had lived ever since. Mrs. Lackey leaves her husband and three little children, Clark, Dorothy and Helen, the youngest of whom is only three years of age.
Mrs. Lackey united with the Clay Chapel Methodist church at Raccoon Island when but 11 years of age, and retained her membership there until she came to Xenia when she joined the First Methodist church. She was a true Christian mother, and the interests of her little family were always first in her mind. She was greatly beloved and admired in her circle of friends.
Mrs. Lackey's sister, Mrs. J. B. Ewing, had been with her several weeks preceding her death, and with her brother, J. S. Clark who had frequently visited her during her illness was at her bedside when death came. They are the only surviving members of her immediate family.
Funeral services will be held at the home Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock and will be in charge of the Rev. Charles W. Sullivan, of the First Methodist church. Burial will be made at Woodland cemetery. [Source: Original newspaper clipping: The Gallipolis Bulletin, March 27, 1914]
