George E. Stacy (1834-1926) was raised on Dec. 10, 1859 in the Montgomery Lodge in Milford, Massachusetts. He served as Captain of the Host of Mt. Lebanon K. A. C, and 38 times Prelate of Milford Commandery, Past Master of Montgomery Lodge, Past High Priest of Mount Lebanon R. A. C, Past Thrice Illustrious Master of Milford Council, Past Em. Commander of Milford Commandery, Past Deputy Grand High Priest of the Grand Chapter of Massachusetts, Past Grand Capt. General of the Grand Commandery of Massachusetts and Rhode Island, and Past Deputy Grand Master of the old 12th (now 23d) district of Massachusetts for a longer time (6 years) than any other District Deputy of the same district.

Stacy worked with his father in the printing business and was highly involved with Milford public schools and the push for better and more educational opportunities. For more than 50 years, Mr. Stacy served as a member of the School Committee and was Chairman for a quarter century until his death. The original Stacy School was built in 1916 and named in his honor which later served as the High School (with additions) and now is the Milford Middle School.
