The deceased professed religion in early manhood and connected himself with the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, being a member of the Mt. Olivet congregation and died in the hope of a Christian's reward. No better known or more popular man ever lived in this county than was Mr. Lucas. He was a man who lived his religion in his everyday life, and his name stood for all that is noble and good in every phase of life. He had amassed a goodly share of this world's goods, but used much of his means in administering to suffering humanity and aiding in every public enterprise that was for the general weal. His life was a benediction to the county and he leaves a noble and splendid lot of children who are a monument to his sterling worth and exemplary life.
