Jacob Mead LOCKWOOD, son of David and Rebecca (THOMAS) LOCKWOOD, died 30 July 1886. In his will he directed that land in Mead Township, "platted for a graveyard in March 1876 shall never be disposed of or used for any other purpose except a burying ground or graveyard for the use of my own family and that of my brother Benjamin LOCKWOOD and of which the following is a description, a plat of ground for a graveyard in Sec.6, Twp.4, R.3, etc." Belmont County, Ohio Wills, Vol.D, p.394. This Cemetery is located in Dilles Bottom on SR 7. For a record of some of the graves See Powell, Esther Weygandt, TOMBSTONE INSCRIPTIONS and FAMILY RECORDS OF BELMONT COUNTY, OHIO (1969), p.56,311.

William L. DeCoursey visited this cemetery in 1977. Many of the stones have deteriorated due to industrial air pollution; although some can still be read. There is a large monument on the grave of David LOCKWOOD, Revolutionary Soldier. Rerouting of SR 7 in 1969 may have taken several graves. There is (in 1877) a Tavern next to this Lockwood Cemetery in Dilles Bottom. The owner of this Tavern in 1977 was Mrs. Margaret BRKLYACIC.

Margaret KIRKLAND of Columbus, Ohio wrote in 1974, "I am sending a picture postcard of the Powhatan Mining Co. building with the cemetery in the background. This cemetery would be the one where the LOCKWOODs are buried. The terrain in this area has been changed because of the relocation of the NO.7 Highway down along the Ohio River. What the highway construction engineers have done in that area is to go in with bulldozers and to shear off the tops of those hills. Dilles Bottom doesn't even look like it did ten years ago.

According to Thomas M. GALLAHER (1854-1942), "In the early 1850's my father (William GALLAHER) and uncles, Thomas C. and Benjamin GALLAHER, built and stocked a store on Pipe Creek a mile and a half from the river, a location just opposite the little cemetery above the Lockwood Falls. Nearby they also erected an undertaking establishment, where coffins were made and trimmed. the trimming for adults usually was made of black glazed muslin, while for children it was of white glazed muslin or other finer materials. They also built a hearse, being the first vehicle of the kind built or used in this section of the country. The body of this hearse was a frame structure with glass panels considered expensive at that time. This hearse was in use and business conducted until after the Civil War."
