Elder Lockhart is a large, heavy-set man, of great physical power and endurance. His height is about five feet eight or nine inches, and his weight not far from one hundred and seventy-five pounds. He has dark, but not black hair, small, keen, blue eyes, a ruddy complexion, and a temperament highly excitable. There is an air of majesty about his fine, large forehead, and a look of thoughtfulness with a shade of sadness on his face; yet his general expression is one of cheerfulness, affability, and pleasant humor. His "earthly house of this tabernacle" has nobly resisted the encroach-ments of time, so that he is still stout and hearty, and but for the loss of his hair he would be, in appearance, but little beyond the meridian of life. Nor was nature less kind in the bestowment of his intellectual than of his physical powers; but while the latter were fully developed by the hard labor incident to his western life, the former received but little discipline from the few and inferior schools of earlier days. Having been compelled, also, to eat his bread in the sweat of his face, while preaching the gospel without money and without price, he has had but little time to cultivate his own mind, or store it with many facts save those which are connected with the great scheme of man's redemption. Still he has a sound, well-balanced mind, and a thorough knowledge of the Scriptures, of which an almost incredible number of passages are stored away in his capacious and retentive memory.
Son of William and Elizabeth (Fletcher) Lockhart. Husband of Polly (Jessup) and Rebecca (Banta). Father of Warren, Levi, Jacob, Caroline and Thomas J.
"The monument erected in memory of the late Rev. Thomas Lockhart will be unveiled in the Irons Cemetery next Wednesday at one o'clock. The people are invited to attend these exercises and bring lunch. It is the intention to have a general social and reunion. The monument is the largest in the county and was made by Mr. Steele. It is of Indiana stone."--- Republican (Danville, Indiana) for July 24, 1890.

Inscription
Thomas Lockhart
Minister of the Gospel
Born Mar. 22, 1793
Died May 2, 1885
IN MEMORIAM.
The old disciple who the Master loved, The heralder of tidings of great joy, His threescore years of servitude have proved his faithfulness. The clarion voice that moved the multitude is silent. All alloy the casket, but the man inside naught can annoy. Now to his great reward above removed. The hands the loaf of sweet remembrance broke, Clasp Christ in brighter worlds. The wine he drinks and from the Living Vine, Sweetly the toiler resteth from his yoke. This his petition that they may be one, That the world might believe, Thy will be done. --Rosalie Hamlden
