R. Lacey, of Columbus Junction; Philemon Lacey, of Burlington and Mrs. Rhoda Sprauge, of Council Bluffs. The deceased was the daughter of the late E. B. Lacey, an old resident of the county. She was born at Hinckley, Ohio, in 1855 and was married to Mr. Letts in 1874. They lived on a farm in Grandview township up to a few years ago, when they removed to Columbus Junction. Mrs. Letts was a consistent member of the Presbyterian church.
