Anna Workman Lacy- Anna was born in February 1820, in Tennessee to Jacob Workman. She had four brothers, John, William, Frank and David. Here Lacy was born in Kentucky about 1812. They were married about 1835 and had eight children: Leman (1836), Hannah (about 1844), John (about 1846), David (1848), hear him (1850), and George Washington, Ellen and Benjamin Franklin (all born after 1850). Here on senior has been described as a farmer by occupation, but in 1850, when his son Huram was born, he was operating a fairy in Davenport, Iowa. Here in died in June 1857 [possibly while felling a tree], leading Anna to raise eight young children: Anna raise her family in Kansas for a while, then in early 1860s move them to Richardson County, Nebraska, where they lived for several years. And had a few of her sons and brothers, David, Frank and William Workman, eventually move west and homestead between Divide and Woodland Park, Colorado. (In 1935, Elton Gaukel visited the old homestead and a small private Cemetery for and was buried in 1901. Elton told us about this journey in 1992 in Loveland, Colorado and had snapshots ofthe monument and what was then left of the family home. Anna wrote to Huram and Fannie and continued to the year of her death, 1901. Her sons that were in Colorado that we know about our David, John, George W., Huram and Benjamin Franklin. We have no record of her other children in Colorado, although we have a tintype of here Lacy with three of his brothers. We have tax receipts indicating that her son, Huram (Fannie Johnson's husband) paid the taxes on that Colorado homestead in the early 1900s when the deed was transferred to him, and we believe his children continue to pay the taxes after his 1923 death, possibly as late as into the 1930s. We think maybe George wrote all or part of the letters for his mother. The letters speak of been (Anna's son) and Martha (Tobe) who was Fannie Lacy's sister. The later letters from Anna deal with her failing health. She certainly loves Huram and Fannie's children, her grandchildren and mentions them frequently. In whenever last letters (1899) she tells Mattie Lacy they will go prospecting next year if Mattie will visit. Source-David Lacy
