Jared Lockwood, the great grandfather of Charles B., served as sergeant during the Revolutionary war., and had interesting record as a soldier which can be found in the pages of the family genealogy above mentioned. Sergt. Jared Lockwood married Betsey Skelding. From Connecticut they removed to Albany, New York, where they spent the rest of their lives.

His has been a long and active business career. and faithfulness and hard work have accomplished in his ease the usual rewards. On leaving school he became bookkeeper for F. T. Barney at the Bay City Flour Mills. A few months later he entered the employ of the Mad River Railroad Company, and continued in the railroad business with this company and its successors as clerk, agent and general freight agent for a period of twenty three years. He was then agent for the Midland Line for one year, resigning that place to engage in the manufacture of sulky plows for one year. He then accepted the position of auditor of the I. B. & W. Railway, and after this return to railway service continued from 1885 to 1890. Two years after his resignation from them office of auditor he spent as secretary of the Sandusky Tool Company, and since that time has been engaged in the box manufacturing business, having operated a large plant with steady success for the last twenty two years.
In October, 1866, Charles B. Lockwood married Marion C. Pierce. She was born in Dalton, Massachusetts, a daughter of William M and Lucinda Pierce, and her death occurred in 1907. Mr. Lockwood cast his first presidential vote for Abraham Lincoln in 1864, and continued to vote the republican ticket until 1884, at which time he became an independent in politics. Since youth he has been hard of hearing, and in spite of this handicap has been an unusually successful business man. On account of this defect he was not accepted for service in the Civil war, but was a member of a home guard organization known as the Loyal Legion. Outside of business his chief diversion has been in boating, and he has owned several notable sail and power boats, and has sailed them in different regattas and boat races, has been awarded several prizes, and among his trophies has loving cups and a number of medals. On account of his interest and activity in boating circles at Sandusky he is familiarly known among his friends and associates as Commodore Lockwood.
