Emily (Fry) Lucas was born on January 2, 1832 to John and Catherine (Snodgrass) Fry at the mouth of Green Shoal Creek in what is now Lincoln County, West Virginia but was then Logan County, Virginia. She married her first cousin, William R. Lucas, a son of John Lucas, who lived at nearby Big Creek. William and Emily made their home on Fourteen Mile Creek in Lincoln County. She died on June 7, 1910. I located her obituary many years ago in microfilm stored at the Hamlin-Lincoln County Public Library. Elder John Gartin penned her obituary, printed by the Lincoln Republican on June 20, 1910.

Our beloved sister, Emily Lucas, wife of W.R. Lucas, Sr., and mother of Jefferson Lucas, who is well known in this county, departed this life June 7th., at the age of almost 80 years. Mrs. Lucas united with the Church July 4th, 1883, and lived  faithfully her duty for almost 27 years. Funeral services were conducted by Eld. John Gartin, assisted by Eld. Andrew Elkins and Elder Grover Gartin. She leaves 5 children and many friends to mourn their loss and we extend our heart-felt sympathy to the bereaved ones.

Emily was my great-great-great-grandmother.
