Children

General Notes: Husband - Henry S. Lockhart


He was reared and educated in Meadville, Pennsylvania, where he continued to reside until going to Titusville, Pennsylvania, in 1860. In August, 1862, he enlisted in Company I, One Hundred Thirty-sixth P. V. I., and was sworn into the United States service as third corporal. Soon after the battle of Fredericksburg, December 13, 1862, he was promoted to the rank of second lieutenant, and with the Army of the Potomac participated in the battles of Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville. He was honorably discharged at Harrisburg, May 29, 1863, at which time he weighed only 108 pounds, while the fall previous he had weighed 184.
Returning to his home in Titusville, Mr. Lockart served as assistant postmaster of that place for three years, and was then employed as a traveling salesman for the following eleven years. In 1876 he became a resident of Shippenville, where he first engaged in the livery business, but later was interested in oil producing. He owned two oil wells, from which he derived a fair income.
In his political affiliations Mr. Lockart was a stalwart Republican, and he served as secretary of the city council. Socially he belonged to Clarion Lodge No. 277, F. & A. M., in which he filled all the chairs, and was a charter member of Eden Chapter No. 259, R. A. M., of Clarion, of which he was a Past High Priest, and served many years as secretary. He also served as commander of Amos Kiser Post No. 475, G. A. R., and was adjutant of the post, filling that position for several years.
