CHARLES H. LOCKE
Charles H. Locke was born March 26, 1848 in Rhode Island. He remained in his native State until 1867, when he went to Illinois and spent a year in Jersey and Christian counties, then went back to Rhode Island. He soon after returned to Illinois and remained there until 1870, when he came with his father, E.J. Locke, to Cass county, Iowa. He settled on section 31, of Brighton township, his present residence. He owns a fine farm of two hundred and fifty-five acres, highly improved and well adapted to stock raising, in which Mr. Locke is largely engaged. He was married in Christian county, Illinois, in February, 1874, to Henrietta Garwood, a native of Illinois, and daughter of William and Catherine Garwood. They have one child, Bertha Edith.
