	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. —To His Most August Majesty Burt LaFetra Lackey, Dr. of Dental Science Steele Building, Xenia, Ohio Greetings. We "The Home Gang" beg leave to inform you, that the seven o'clock car Northward will bear us to the city, where we will escort you to the Home of Mr. and Mrs. N. A. Fulton.

Obituary	27 Mar 1914 [10]
	The Gallipolis Bulletin (Gallipolis, Ohio)
	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]
