William E. Lockhart, one of the most highly respected residents of Hickory township, died very suddenly at his home on the Eastbrook road on Sunday morning about 2 o'clock. Dissolution resulted from a paralytic stroke, combined with heart weakness, from which he had suffered for years. Accompanied by other members of the family, Mr. Lockhart had spent Saturday evening at the home of John Graham of Neshannock township.

About 11 o'clock the homeward journey was begun and Mr. Lockhart was apparently in his usual health when the sleigh departed from the Graham home. However, before reaching home his head was noticed to drop forward and he was unable to answer the frightened questions of his family.

He never recovered consciousness and spoke but once after he experienced the attack. The family physician was hastily summoned as soon as the sorrowful group reached home. It was of no avail, however, for the husband and father could not be aroused and his strength gradually but surely ebbed away until life departed.

The suddennes of the call of death had no terrors for the one who made the journey which all must take, for he had long been prepared to answer the Master's call. He was a member of the Eastbrook United Presbyterian church where he had worshiped for many years.

Mr. Lockhart was born in this county 70 years ago and his entire life was spent within its confines, with the exception of the time he devoted to defending the government during the dark days of the Civil war. He was a member of the famous Roundhead regiment and rendered good and valiant service to the cause of the Union.

The people among whom he resided for so long and those who knew him best will feel in his death a keen personal sorrow, for it will be generally recognized that all have sustained a decided loss in his departure from the scenes of this life. He was a man who had the good of his neighbors at heart and his death is greatly to be regretted, although all will feel grateful that his passing was attended by no pain to him.

Mrs. Lockhart and four sons survive the husband and father. The children are Clyde and Fred, with the New Castle Grocery company of this city; John who is reading law in the office of Hon. A.L. Hazen, and Guy, who resides at home. Funeral services Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the residence and interment at the Eastbrook United Presbyterian church.

At a later date William E. Lockharts remains were moved to Graceland Cemetery, New Castle, PA.
