"F M LOCKWOOD PASSED AWAY AT NOON THURSDAY - One of Proprietors of Mansion House for Many Years and Prominent in Masonic Circles - Had Been Ill Only Few Days - Frank M Lockwood, for many years one of the proprietors of the Mansion House, and well known throughout this section of the state, passed away at 12:45 o'clock yesterday afternoon at his apartment over the Fortney Furniture store, Diamond street, after a brief illness due to advancing years, he having passed his 85th birthday on Oct 5 last. Arrangements for funeral services had not been made last evening and friends are asked to omit sending flowers. Mr Lockwood had retired from active business pursuits two years ago and in spite of his advanced age had been quite active. He had on the streets nearly every day until about two weeks ago, since which time he had been gradually failing until the end came peacefully at the hour stated. Native of New York - Mr Lockwood was born in Penn Yan, NY, on Oct 5, 1836, so was in the 86th year of life when he passed away. When he was 6 years of age his parents moved to a farm near Kalamazoo, Mich, where they remained for a year and then moved into Kalamazoo. At the age of 12 years Mr Lockwood went to Ann Arbor, Mich, where he was apprenticed to learn the barber's trade, when he was 13 years old he engaged in the hotel business with his father at Miles and after a year, the father turned the business over to the son. In 1850 there was a panic and bank failures were very frequent. Young Lockwood went to Ann Arbor, Mich, others in business and soon afterward went to Cuba, NY, where he learned the art of operating a telegraph instrument, although he did not follow this trade but re-engaged in the bakery business. Served in Civil War - When the Civil War broke out in 1861, Mr Lockwood promptly enlisted in Company B, 33rd New York volunteer infantry and his company arrived in Washington the Sunday before the first battle of Bull Run, although it did not participate in that battle. Mr Lockwood was in the second battle of Bull Run. In the fall of 1861, Mr Lockwood's regiment was quartered at Upton Hill, serving as a guard for the union capital. General Wadsworth, who was in command of the quarters, learned that young Lockwood was adept at baking and he put the young soldier in charge of the baking during that winter. He operated the first field ovens introduced for use during the war. Mr Lockwood recalled his experiences of that winter with much pride and he often told his friends of having baked bread during the winter of 1861, which President Lincoln carried back with him to the White House. The president and General Wadsworth were fast friends and Lincoln was seen at the general's quarters often that winter by Mr Lockwood. Was Corry Police Chief - After the battle of Antietam, Mr Lockwood was discharged from the army and he went to Corry, Pa, late in the year 1863. Mr Lockwood resided in Corry for a number of years and enjoyed the distinction of having served as the first chief of police after Corry was incorporated as a city, serving under the administration of Mayor W H L Smith. While a resident of Corry, Mr Lockwood was engaged in the grocery, baking and confectionery business. Later he went to Lakewood, on Chautauqua lake, as steward of the New Kent House, at that time one of the largest hotels at an inland water place in the country. He remained at the Kent for four seasons, spending the winters in the employ of some of Buffalo's finest restaurants. Wide Hotel Experience - After severing his connection with the Lakewood hotel, Mr Lockwood formed a partnership with the late O E Gleason in conducting a hotel at Marietta, O. Mr Lockwood remained there only a few months, however, selling his interest to Mr Gleason and going to Chicago, Ill, where he spent one winter. In the spring he returned east and engaged with the late W L Rider, owner of the Hotel Riverside at Cambridge Springs. Early in 1891 Mr Lockwood and Mr Gleason again formed a partnership and purchased the Mansion House in Titusville, which they operated until 1902, when they leased it to Frank A Watson. In 1897 the hotel was completely remodeled and enlarged to the present large proportions. During the partnership of Messrs Gleason and Lockwood the latter operated the hotel at Exposition Park on Conneaut Lake for eight seasons. After Mr Lockwood retired from the Mansion House in 1902 he operated the Hotel Bartlett at Mannington, W Va, for about a year. During his career as a hotel and restaurant man Mr Lockwood also operated a hotel at Depew, a suburb of Buffalo, NY, and also conducted a hotel in Franklin for about four years. He spent two years in California and upon his return to Titusville conducted a restaurant on West Spring street opposite the Commercial bank and also the restaurant now conducted by J Richard Gillen, being in charge of this place for about two years. Retired Two Years Ago - At the expiration of the lease on the Mansion House held by Mr Watson, the Lockwood-Conroy company was formed and took over the hotel management again, this company conducting the business for two and one-half years, when it was sold to a Pittsburgh syndicate, which took possession on Jan 1, 1920. For twenty-eight years Mr Lockwood was connected with the management of the Mansion House and was widely known to the traveling public as a courteous gentleman and an excellent landlord. Mr Lockwood was always interested in children and the public schools and he served part of two terms on the Titusville school board, by having been appointed to fill vacancies but declining to stand for election. Mr Lockwood was twice married and is survived by his second wife, Mrs Mary E Lockwood of this city, and one son, Frank Lockwood of Corry. Over Fifty Years a Mason - Mr Lockwood became a member of the F&AM at Columbus, Pa, in 1864. Two years later he affiliated with the RAM at Meadville and became a Knight Templar at Bellefonton, May 13, 1870. When Clarence Commandery, Knights Templar was organized at Corry in 1871, he became the first eminent commander and retained his membership there until his death. He was much interested in the Masonic organization and for a number of years on his birthday entertained members of the fraternity at a dinner. He was a member of Hays post, GAR, at Franklin and both the GAR and the Masons will officiate at the funeral services in his memory, the time for which will be announced later."
