IN MEMORIAM.
ROWLAND B. LACEY.
The following resolutions were adopted at the Annual Meeting, April 29th, 1897.
Whereas, The Fairfield County Historical Society has sustained a loss, which seems to be well nigh irrepara ble, by the death of Rowland B. Lacey, its founder, the first of the six persons who subscribed to its original articles of association and its first and only President from the date of its organization in February, 1881, to the time of his demise on the 31st day of March, 1897, therefore.
Resolved, That while he will be missed in other walks of life, in his home, in his church, and in his other asso- ciations, he will be especially missed by the members and friends of this society, for it is not too much to say that withont his indefatigable efforts the society might not now exist and this temple might not have been built.
Resolved, That in the field of local history his work has been invaluable. He preserved the collections of his father-in-law, Isaac Sherman. He enconraged and great- ly aided the Rev. Samuel Orcutt in the preparation and publication of the history of Stratford and Bridgeport. He wrote countless biographical notices. and articles treating on early business enterprises and events.
He was wonderfully equipped for this work by nature, by experience, by study and by an intense love for the subject.
Resolved, That we shall cherish his memory for his patient, kindly and courteous manner, for his labors and generous contributions, and we shall especially remem- ber him as the pioneer in the local historical field and as the rescuer of many facts from oblivion.
Resolved, That these resolutions be placed on the records of the society, and that a copy of the same be sent to his family.
