Frank A. Lackey, a well-to-do and prominent business man of the city of Richmond, was born in Cambridge City, Wayne county, Indiana, Nov. 29, 1858. His father was Sanford Lackey, who at one time owned fourteen farms in the western part of Wayne county. Our subject's mother was Jane (Murphy) Lackey, and she and her husband are both deceased. Of their union were born seven children: Mrs. Frank Mosbaugh, Miss Jane Lackey, Miss Ellen Lackey, John S. and Charles L., of Cambridge City ; Park R., of Chicago, and Frank A. By a previous marriage of Mr. Lackey there were born three daughters: Mrs. Margaret Ayler, who resides in Cambridge City ; Mrs. Candace Reiman, and Mrs. Clementine Tate. John S. Lackey, brother of the subject of this review, has been in the horse business all of his life. He owns a stock farm at Cambridge City and has conducted twenty-four consecutive sales of horses. Frank A. Lackey received his preliminary education in the schools of Cambridge City, and also for a time attended Hanover College, near Madison, Ind. He has resided in Richmond continuously since 1886, with the exception of one year at Cambridge City and one year at New York City, and in that metropolis he now spends annually about four months. This is occasioned by the fact that he is a member of the firm of J.M. Brady & Company, of 30-32-34 West Twenty-sixth street, in that city, manufacturers of ladies' tailored cloaks and suits. Besides his residence in Richmond, Mr. Lackey owns a pleasant summer home at Goll Lake, near Battle Creek, Mich. He is a member of the Masonic order and of the Richmond Country Club. On April 21, 1886, Mr. Lackey was married to Miss Josephine King, daughter of the late Capt. Richard H. King, and of this union was born a son, Richard King Lackey.
