Notes for JANE  WRIGHT:
OBIT: JANE WRIGHT LOCK
The death of Mrs. Lock of Beamish Park, at the ripe age 87 years, will be deeply felt by a large circle of relatives and friends. The deceased lady was born at Beamish in the days of the late Squire Davidson, whose love of neatness and almost parental care of his tenants she could well remember. After a long and varied life, in the course of which she lived in different parts of the country, Mrs. Lock, when a widow, went to reside with her nephew amid the beautiful scenery of her native valley, where, in a neat cheerful little cottage, the closing years of her life were spent peacefully and happily. She had outlived nearly all her generation, and had long ago lost count of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, many of whom are in America. She was throughout her career industrious, cheerful and warm hearted; she had a wonderful memory, and her eyesight and hearing seemed little impaired by age. Even in her old age she was one of the best knitters in the district, and in everything related to housekeeping she was equally skillful. After a short illness she passed away on Friday night at the home of her son-in-law, Mr. George Smith, at Waterhouses. Her work accomplished, she had lived a useful and honourable life, and was ready for the summons. Those lines of Mrs. Barbauld's might most have been written for Mrs. Lock;
"Life, we've been long together Through pleasant and through cloudy weather 'Tis hard to part when friends are dear Perhaps 'twill coat a sigh, a tear Then steal away, give little warning."
Jane Lock was still living with her nephew, Anthony, at the time of the 1881 census:

In her youth she gave her heart to the Lord and joined the Primitive Methodist Church in England and all her life which is equal to three average lives, she has been his faithful servant sometimes passing through the waters of affliction and sorrow but when the rain descended and the floods came and the winds blew and beat upon her house it fell not for it was founded upon a rock.
