| Major Sidney Herbert Lancey, known
| far and wide as Sidney Herbert. died at
| his home at Maitland Sunday morning
April 26th, at the advanced age of 10
years. He had been in ill health for a
number of years, being afflicted with
rheumatism contracted during the war,
| in which he served with the Army Of
| the Potomac Major Herbert was born
at Bangor, Maine, in 1882, and receiving
| a college education, studied for the Bap-
| fist ministry. When the war broke out
| he joined Maine company and served
| as a member of the staff, being promot-
ed to the rank of Major for gallantry.
| While known all over the United States
as journalist and historian, very little
of Major Lancey's early history is
| known He came South after the war,
married a southern girl and made his
home in the South until the time of his
death. He was connected with various
| journals, being ON the editorial staff
until Installing health necessltated his
| retirement and for a number OF years
he had made Maitland his home with his
devoted wife, herself an invalid, caused
| by railroad accident several years ago.
Here Major Herbert spent his declining
years, and though the body could not
| keep pace with the active mind, some
of the greatest and most accurate his
| torical facts were chronlcled by his
| facile pen. For number of years Major
| Herbert contributed war "reminiscences
| to the Savannah News and other papers
| and magazines, and his mind seemed
| storehouse wherein every event con-
! cd q |
| ed States, could be called forth in an
instant and published accurately even
to the very day and hour. Florida, his
| adopted State, came in for article after
| article of historical facts, as we'll as
comments upon industrial life emanat-
ing from the Majors pen. The Report
er-Star wa} the recipient OF many short
| sketches from Major Herbert and since
his residence at Maitland he was a reg
ular correspondent.
In the death of Major Sidney Herbert
! Lancey the world loses a brave ant true
hearted man, a gallant soldier, a bril-
liant writer and historian and a patrl-
otto citizen who, while the smoke of
battle Obscured the vision, wore the
| blue, and after the bloody chasm had
| been bridged was the first to settle
among the southern people, marry a
southern girl, and spent his declining
years in Dixie, his pen ever ready TO
protect the name of those who fought
in the lost cause as his sword had been
to defend the principles which were
| bred in the people of the North.
| Major Herbert is survived by his
wife, devoted helpmeet, whose loss
will be felt more keenly since they have
| gone down life's pathway hand IN hand
for so many years, living for each other
and seeking the mutual comfort and
firmly that only death could tear them
asundes.
| The remains of Major Sidney Herbert
Lancey were carried to their last resting
place April Goth. The friends assembled
