      BIOGRAPHY: The agricultural interests of Linn county find a worthy representative in William A. Lacock, who is successfully following farming on a finely improved tract of land in Linn township. Born in Indiana, in 1849, he is the oldest in a family of four children whose parents were Joab and Elizabeth (Bassett) Lacock. The father was a native of Ripley county, Indiana, born January 15, 1823, and was reared and married in his native state, there remaining until 1854, which year witnessed his arrival in Linn county. He established his home on a farm in this section of the state and was thus identified with its farming interests until his death, which occurred on the 13th of June, 1893, when he was more than seventy years of age. He was a valued member of the Masonic order at Mount Vernon. Mrs. Lacock preceded her husband to the home beyond, her demise occurring in 1864. Their four children are: Abner, a resident of Linn township; Mercy, the wife of J. Kerns, a resident of Marion township, Linn county; Albert J., deceased; and William A.
