   P.R. Lackey, Deputy Treasurer of Wayne County, Indiana, is a native of Cambridge City, where he was educated. His father, Sanford Lackey, was born in Chillicothe, Ohio, March 1, 1809, a son of John and Susan C. (Plummer) Lackey, natives of Washington County, Pennsylvania, who in 1808 removed to Ohio, and settled near Chillicothe. After several years' residence in Ohio, he visited his old home, making the trip on horseback, and when on his return died within thirteen miles of Chillicothe. Of a family of ten children, eight are living. Sanford Lackey received a good education in the schools of Chillicothe and Cincinnati. He was married in 1829 to Margaret Rickey, who died in June, 1838, leaving three children, of whom two, Margaret and Kandance, are living. He afterward married Jane Murphy, of Fayette Co., Ind. They have eight children. Mr. Lackey came to Wayne County in 1833, and opened the first store in Cambridge City, which he carried on thirty years, and in the meantime was appointed Postmaster. He has given his attention largely to dealing in horses, cattle and hogs, in which he has been very successful and is now one of the most prominent business men of Cambridge City.
