General Notes: Husband - William Lockhart

---

His boyhood was spent in Maine and his education obtained in the public schools. In 1849 the family moved to Jonesboro, Maine, and in 1850, to Rockport, where his school years were completed. At the age of fourteen he shipped as common seaman, continuing "before the mast" until 1860, when he was rated first mate of a vessel engaged in trading to the West Indies. In 1864 he was first officer of the steamer "General Sedgwick" and received for transportation to Annapolis, the first exchange of the poor emaciated, dying prisoners from the awful prison pen at Andersonville. In that year he caught the "oil fever" and abandoning the sea came to western Pennsylvania and followed the oil strikes through the counties of Venango, Butler and Warren, finally settling in 1881 at Custer City, McKean County. He was an active member of the Methodist Episcopal church, and teacher of a Bible class in the Sunday school. He was a third party Prohibitionist; served four years on the school board, was justice of the peace several years, assessor and town clerk.
