General Notes: Husband - George E. Lockhart

---

He was reared by his grandfather, William Savage, on a farm near McDonald, Washington County, Pennsylvania, his education being obtained at the public schools of the locality. Here he remained until he was fourteen years of age. In 1864 he enlisted in company A, One Hundred and Forty-seventh P. V. I., and participated in the fortunes of that regiment; was with Sherman at Atlanta, and on the march to the sea, his regiment being the first to enter the city of Savannah, and was present at the battle of Resaca, May 15, 1864. He was never wounded, but soon after being ordered to the front was seized with typhoid fever and was sent to hospital at Nashville, Tennessee, whither his mother went from Pennsylvania to visit him. On his recovery he returned to his regiment and served to the close of the war, being mustered out of the service at Alexandria June 5, 1865, and discharged July 21, same year. He then proceeded to the home of his mother in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, and commenced working in the mines as director of shipping. In 1885 he was appointed deputy sheriff under Sheriff Hemphill, serving to the close of the term, and then in 1888, was elected sheriff on the Republican ticket, for a three years' term, receiving a majority of 2,159 votes in the county. During this incumbency, the colored murderer, West, was executed, the first person hanged in Washington County since 1867. Mr. Lockhart was a member of Stockweather Post No. 60, G. A. R., and of the Jr. O. U. A. M.
