Former Resident Here Killed At Torrington

Matt Lacy, 54, who was killed when struck by a car at Torrington last Wednesday, was a former resident of Sioux County, and his wife was the daughter of the Reverend Johnson, minister of the Methodist Church here about 20 years ago.

Funeral services were held at Torrington Saturday and were attended by Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Pullen, Mr. and Mrs. Duane Pullen, and Billy Baker from here.

Besides his wife, he is survived by one son, Melvin, of Laramie, Wyo., two daughters, Mrs. Bonnie Schmick of Torrington and Kathy Ann Lacy at the family home; three brothers, five sisters and his mother, Mrs. Rose Lacy of Denver.

Funeral services were held Saturday at 2 p.m. at the Torrington Methodist Church with the Rev. Herbert Cies officiating. Burial was in the Valley View Cemetery in Torrington.
