General Notes: Husband - William A. Lockhart

He worked with Mr. Saulters for twenty-two years, at Willow Grove and Brier Hill, and became outside foreman. In 1900 he came to Houston to assume the duties of division superintendent of the Pittsburg Coal Company, an experience of forty years making him thoroughly acquainted with every department of the industry.
He is prominent in Masonry, belonging to the Blue Lodge at McDonald and to the higher branches at Pittsburgh.

The Midland and Alison mines of the Pittsburg Coal Company had a combined output of 6,600 tons daily; the vein of coal had an average thickness of five and one-half feet. The company owned 240 houses at Midland No. 2 and No. 3 and 150 houses at Midland No. 1, and also 150 at the Alison Mine, these all being for the use of the employes. The mines were equipped with all modern conveniences and safety devices and were situated in Chartiers Township, with shipping facilities on the Pennsylvania Railroad.
