| | Living in Dryden: John C. Lacy |
 | | In 1819 he erected the first clothing works in Dryden, almost on the present site of the Dryden Woolen Mill, and in the next year, which was the last of his life, he and two of his brothers developed the Dryden Mineral Springs, where the Sanitarium is now located. |
 | | John C. Lacy was born on his father's farm in Dryden near the location of the present stone grist mill, October 21, 1808, and was, consequently, only twelve years of age at the time of his father's death. |
 | | He belonged to the first temperance organization in Dryden and, in 1861, he joined the First M. church of this village, of which he was always, from that time, a stable and constant member, contributing largely of his time and means to its management and support. |
