Charles Lacy Sweet was the son of William Sweet (1821-1905), a native of Clifton in Bristol, and a solicitor by profession, and Louisa Isabella Sweet (née Hillier; 1825-1912), who was from London. Charles Lacy Sweet also became a solicitor. In addition to competing in lawn tennis tournaments, he was also a footballer and referee. In 1888, he helped to inaugurate the Gloucestershire Association Football Cup and was later honorary secretary of the Gloucestershire Football Association. He died of typhoid fever and pneumonia in November 1892 at the age of only 32.
--
From the Western Daily Press, 3 November 1892:
The announcement of the death of Mr Charles Lacy Sweet, which took place yesterday at his residence, 83 Pembroke Road, Clifton, will be received with very widespread regret. The deceased was well known and extremely popular in athletic circles, and he has been aptly described as the link between first-class lawn tennis in London and the west of England, having frequently been associated with the Renshaws in different parts of the country.
More recently, he had identified himself with association football, and it was while umpiring a match at Warmley that he contracted the illness which has cost him his life. He caught a severe chill, which speedily developed serious symptoms, including inflammation and haemorrhage, and yesterday afternoon he passed away. The sad news was received in the city with profound sorrow.
