OBITUARY
LOUIS JOCQUES LOCKERT
The deceased was born near Paris, France, on Nov. 9, 1843 and after having been taught in the private schools and colleges of his native land, he left the Old World for America while yet 16 years of age. For some cause he settled in Ohio, and when the great conflict came between the North and the South he enlisted for 3 years and then re-enlisted for the endurance of the war. Though an alien by birth, by this set he proved he possessed that love of Liberty and Justice for all that makes one a real American. When peace once more reigned in "The land of the free and the home of the brave" he returned to Akron during April, 1865 and claimed Miss Isabell Allyn for his bride. To this happy union were born four sons--George of Lake City, Kan.; Frank of Coats, Kan.; David of Pratt, Kan. and Burdette of Anadarko, Okla.--and one daughter, Mrs. Pearl Strong, 707 E. Estelle, Wichita, Kan., all of whom were here. He has always possessed that spirit that craved to know what is beyond yonder horizon. It is that spirit that led him across the Atlantic from France to Ohio, and thence to Kansas, and from Kansas to Oklahoma in 1902 when everything was new. At Miami, Okla., on June 6, 1896, death entered his home and claimed the companion of his youth. Life now being lonely, two years later he married Ora Young of Miami, to which union one son, Charles of Anadarko, was born. He not only cared for his own children, but raised a niece, Leslee Robins of Paonia, Colorado, and also a nephew, Henry Miller of Philadelphia, Pa. About a month ago he came from the Oklahoma City Soldiers Home, where he lived for about three years, to visit with his Anadarko children, and was taken sick and passed away on November 14, 1926 at 7:30 p.m. in the home of his son Burdette, 608 E. Oklahoma Avenue, aged 85 years and 5 days. He leaves to mourn his going, besides his children and grandchildren, two brothers, Charles of Toledo, Ohio and Henry of Alexander, Ark. and a host of others that have been blessed by his life and works. When only a youth be became a member of the Presbyterian church and went to his reward in this faith. Surely he that could pass through war and the hardships such as is always found in pioneer life without losing his faith and confidence in God, must stand like a mighty monument before us, beckoning us to endure unto the end, and calling us in no uncertain tones to "Be thou faithful unto death and thou shalt wear the crown of life." Therefore let us take heed, "Lest we forget, lest we forget." Funeral services were held at the Presbyterian Church conducted by Frank W. Beach, minister of the Christian Church and Rev. David Rees-Jones assisting. J. H. Farmer, funeral director.
