NOTE: We have NO known photo for Hattie Locke. The photo posted by C.D. Carter is of her daughter Mary Jane "Kitty" Locke.
Hattie was the second child born at the Wilson home near the Old Wheelock school in the Choctaw Nation and educated at home. She was reputed to be the most beautiful woman in that part of the Choctaw Nation.
On June 1 1875 at 20 years of age, she married a white man from Tennessee named Benjamin F. Locke, who was the brother of her father's good friend, Victor M. Locke (the man who developed the town of Antlers).
They lived on the old Wilson homestead at what is now known as Oak Hill for several years, then moved to Clear Creek near the Wilson home. He was a doctor by training but took to farming in the Goodland area when there were not enough patients to support his practice.
Hattie gave birth to seven children, Wilson, Marion Francis, Mary Jane, and four others that did not survive infancy. Hattie died at age 31, mostly likely in childbirth.
