General Notes: Husband - William H. Locke


He was ten years of age when the family left New Castle, Pennsylvania, and moved to New Wilmington. His education was secured in the public schools of New Castle and in New Wilmington. When nineteen years old, he learned the tinner's trade in his father's shop at New Wilmington, and in the spring of 1881 went into business for himself in that borough, and successfully conducted it until he disposed of it at a good price in 1889. After the sale was completed, he worked for his successor. In 1891, he moved to Mahoningtown, and opened up a tin-shop on Cherry Street, where he established a trade of large and constantly increasing dimensions.
The family were members and regular attendants of the M. E. Church of Mahoningtown. Mr. Locke was a member of the New Wilmington Lodge, I. O. O. F.; Amazon Lodge, Knights of Pythias, No. 336, of Mahoningtown; and Excelsior Lodge, No. 121, Protected Home Circle of Mahoningtown. Both in New Wilmington and Mahoningtown Mr. Locke took an active interest in local matters: in New Wilmington he served in the borough council, of which he was secretary; in Mahoningtown he served as a member of the school board.
