Also address integrity) <br />The Lacy - Murray House was built in 1923 for Mrs. Laura Murray. Mrs. Murray was born on April 17, 1877, and was the daughter of <br />John and Eliza Lacy, niece to Theo Lacy, the second and fourth Sheriff of Orange County. Her father was a surgeon for the <br />confederates during the civil war. He was also a founding member of the Santa Ana Hospital who performed some of the first <br />surgeries in the region. After his death in 1913, mother Eliza and sister Margaret moved in with Laura and her new husband, <br />James Murray. James was a policeman for the City of Santa Ana. Laura herself was an independent woman and was in charge of <br />the City Water Department, quite a feat for a female at the time. James was also an active member of the Knights of Pithias and <br />the Elks Lodge. The house was sold to the Walter Cole Trust in 1945. It was sold to Michael Ness in 2000. Mr. Ness sold the <br />house to Ms. Tidgewell in 2005. <br />(See Continuation Sheet 3 of 4.) <br />B11. Additional Resource Attributes: (List attributes and <br />*B12.
