1882 - Obituary - "Died in Belmont County, Ohio on the 24th of March 1882, Mrs. Anna B. (BELL) LOCKWOOD, wife of Benjamin LOCKWOOD. The deceased was in the 81st year of her age. More than 60 years ago she made a Profession of her Faith in Christ and united with the Presbyterian Church of Chartiers, then under the care of the Rev. John McMILLAN, one of the pioneer ministers of western Pennsylvania. The deceased was baptized by Rev. McMillan who also united her in Marriage. Soon after her marriage she moved to the same neighborhood in which she died, where she shared with her husband the tribulations and trials of pioneer life. Of her 14 children, but 4 now are here to mourn a mother's death. The rest preceded her across the shores of time. She was a kind and affectionate mother and as one after another of her children were called away, her grief was great; but the Saviour in whom she trusted was her comfort and support. During the long life of the deceased her walk and conversation was such as to commend the religion of Christ to all with whom she associated, and when the close of life came it found her trusting in the Savior and ready to enter into her rest and reward in Heaven. How comforting to her Friends that their loss is her Eternal gain. May all the Friends receive and enjoy the richest blessings of Heaven while here and have a happy home in that Kingdom in which all is Peace and Joy. - J.S.P."

A 17 Oct 1972 letter from Edwin CREAMER to William DeCOURSEY reads in part as follows:
"I was born Feb. 1st 1886 at Pipe Creek. I married Charles FERREL's youngest daughter. -- About a mile above the mouth of Pipe Creek where it enters into the Ohio River is the old Lockwood homestead. A large Red Brick house. They call it Dillies Bottom, but they used to call it in olden times 'Lockwood Mills', and before there was any railroads they called it Lockwood Landing. There is a small stream that comes down out of the hill and they used it to run their flour mill. The old Lockwood grave yard is still there, but the highway came through (SR 7) and they had to move some of the graves. -- Edwin Creamer"

During the long life of the deceased her walk and conversation was such as to commend the religion of Christ to all with whom she associated, and when the close of life came it found her trusting in the Savior and ready to enter into her rest and reward in Heaven. How comforting to her Friends that their loss is her Eternal gain. May all the Friends receive and enjoy the richest blessings of Heaven while here and have a happy home in that Kingdom in which all is Peace and Joy. - J.S.P."

A 17 Oct 1972 letter from Edwin CREAMER to William DeCOURSEY reads in part as follows:
"I was born Feb. 1st 1886 at Pipe Creek. I married Charles FERREL's youngest daughter. -- About a mile above the mouth of Pipe Creek where it enters into the Ohio River is the old Lockwood homestead. A large Red Brick house. They call it Dillies Bottom, but they used to call it in olden times 'Lockwood Mills', and before there was any railroads they called it Lockwood Landing. There is a small stream that comes down out of the hill and they used it to run their flour mill. The old Lockwood grave yard is still there, but the highway came through (SR 7) and they had to move some of the graves. -- Edwin Creamer"

C. 170th Reg't, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, Anthony LOCKWOOD , his cousin was guardian. Anna L. DANA testified "that she has in her possession the Family Bible of her Grandfather whose name was Benjamin LOCKWOOD, and the records in said Bible show that Sylvanus LOCKWOOD was born March 22nd 1840. The above mentioned record is recorded in a Bible published in 1843. Said Bible being published by Sumner and Goodman, Hartford.

It was taken before she was married. --- Enclose is a letter from Ben LOCKWOOD of Des Moines, son of Caroline (ANSHUTZ) LOCKWOOD, wife of David LOCKWOOD, son of Benjamin.
