WEXFORD.
We regret to announce the death. in
Wexford, on April list, Of Alderman
Joseph Lacy He had been in poor
health for more than twelve months,
and as his condition gradually grew
worse, his demise was not altogether
unexpected. About so years ago, when
quite a. lad, Mr.. Lacy came to Wexford
from his native place. Kilincooly, and
entered into the employment of Mr..
Moore, to whose business he eventually
succeeded. He was, about 80 years ego,
selected by the burgesses Of st. Selsi:ar
Ward to represent them in the corpora
ton; and, in 1890, on the death of
Alderman John Greene, Mr.. Lacy sue
ceeded to the vacant aldermanship of
the ward. In 1895 he was unanimous
ly chosen as mayor Of Wexford; and he
had the unique distinction Of filling this
honorable position for three years in
succession.
