Cecil Worth Lockhart, Jr. was born July 10, 1949 in Brushy, Texas, the son of Cecil Sr. and Maxine (Miller) Lockhart. He attended school in Texas and stayed there for most of his teenage years. Cecil and his first wife, Carol, then moved to the Ozarks where they were blessed with their daughter, Sheila. Cecil moved to Kansas City to work for Taystee Bread. While in the Kansas City area he began working for Meyer’s Turf in Stillwell, where he met his wife, Kim. Their marriage was blessed with a son, Jake. Cecil was a Seed Supervisor at Meyer’s Turf with his very good friend, Herb Avery. He helped a friend open a tire business in Stillwell, but after that he and Kim found that Jim’s Tire Company in Clarion was hiring. Cecil and Kim moved back to Clarion in 1994 with their son, Jake and have lived here since that time. Within the last three years, Cecil began working for the City of Clarion. He enjoyed spending time with his children and grandchildren, fixing old cars and pickups, golfing, getting together with the guys in his garage and spending time with people in general.
