Her last illness covered period of
one year, and her death brings to it's
close an interesting and notable life.
She was Born in Madison county in
1888 and was the eldest of three
children, born to her parents, Col.
Archibald Woods Goodloe and his
wife, Maria Estill who in their mar
riage united two Of the most dis
tinguished families in the early his
tory of Madison county.
In her early youth her parents re-
moved to a plantation in Arkansas
near the Louisiana line, where they
enjoyed the luxurious life Of the
southern planters in the days pre-
ceding the Civil war; She received
her early education in a Convent in
Mobile, Ala, where she acquireda
liberal acquaintance with literature,
French and music; and the graceful
manners taught in those days by the
finishing schools for young ladies.
These accomplishments, added to
mind endowed with unusual bril-
liancy, were used by her through her
long life in many ways for the
pleasure of a wide circle of friends
and relatives; and in the service Of
her Master.
In 1853 she was united in marriage
to Delaney Miller Lackey, Of Madi-
son county. The wedding was cele-
brated at the home of Gen. and Mrs.
John Miller in Richmond Mrs. Mil
Ter (nee Goodloe) having been the
aunt of the bride and Gen Miller,
uncle of the groom.
In 1908, friends and relatives from
many points in Kentucky and from
other states came to unite with Mr..
and Mrs. Lackey in celebrating their
golden wedding university at their
home in Lancaster. Their children
and grandchildren were with them
also, and it was most enjoyable
occasion.
Mr.. Lackey preceded his wife
to the great beyond 9 years. They
were both for many years earnest
and devout members Of the Presby-
terian church. Their home was famous
among all theirs acquaintance for it's
warm and generous hospitality. No
call ever came from the sick or the
troubled that she did not try to meet
it. She was peculiarly gifted in the
ability to bring comfort and courage
to those in distress. If she could not
reach them in other ways, she would
do SO by means of her gifted pen.
Her own last days were saddened by
the death of her son, Mr.. Goodloe
Lackey, of Kansas City, in whose
career she had taken great pride and
interest. She was greatly blest in
having with her in her declining
years her devoted daughter, Miss
Jennie Lackey, by whom she is sur
vived and also two granddaughters,
Mrs. Herbert Price, of Danville, and
Miss Mary Goodloe Lackey Of Kansas
City.
Her relatives and friends will miss
her and will ever cherish the memory
of her kindly interest and love for
all who were allied to her by ties of
relationship or the bonds of friend
