General Notes: Husband - Horace Mortimer Lacock, M.D.


He attended school at Point Lookout, in South Franklin Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, and later became a student in the Canonsburg high school, from which he was creditably graduated, and then entered college at Meadville, Pennsylvania. His health gave out, however, and he was obliged to return home for a season. After recovering he entered upon the study of medicine and spent four years in the Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, where he was graduated at the end of that period, with his degree of M. D. After taking the State health board examination, in August, 1902, he settled at West Finley. He kept in close touch with medical science all over the world by being identified with the leading medical organizations, including the Washington County, the Pennsylvania State and the American Medical societies. In addition to his general practice, Dr. Lacock was examiner for several old line insurance companies and several fraternal bodies.
He and his wife were active members of the Windy Gap Presbyterian Church, Mrs. Lacock being superintendent of the Sunday school. In a general sense, Dr. Lacock was a Democrat, and was secretary of the Washington County School Directors' Association, but in all local matters, where national issues were not involved, he voted independently. He was interested in educational work and served as secretary of West Finley Township's school board. He was identified with the Odd Fellows at West Alexander.
