Lacy Cemetery, 75-1 Summary Report, page 10

---

The inscription on the tablet of her box crypt states that Mary W. Lacy was the wife of Theophilus Lacy. They were married 20 April 1835 in Madison County, Alabama. The inscription further states that she died 25 June 1836. It is possible that she died in childbirth or soon afterward, from an infection or other complication associated with the birth of a child. Her husband Theophilus was born in 1806, according to the records of Maple Hill Cemetery in Huntsville, where he is buried with his subsequent wife, Fannie (Frances H. Binford). However, most research results point very definitely to a birth year of 1804 for Theophilus. The Maple Hill record shows that Theophilus “died 29 July 1876, at age 70”, whereas his last wife Fannie died 17 March 1891, also at age 70. The Lacy family history as published by descendant Dennis William Simpson in his book DOCTOR WILLIAM SIMPSON is summarized in the pages excerpted from his book below: 10 - (2644)
