He comes of a highly honored pioneer family, members of which have played well their parts in the general development of this favored section of the great Iowa commonwealth. Mr. Lockard was born March 13, 1856, on the old home place where he still resides, section 10, Union Township, this county. He was educated in the schools of his native community, and in 1876 he was united in marriage with Rosina Jester, daughter of James and Mary (Fletcher) Jester, natives of North Carolina, who located in Providence Township, Hardin County, Iowa, in 1874, moving later to section 1, Union Township, later to section 15, where they spent the balance of their lives. They are buried in the cemetery at Union. They had a good home here and were highly respected. These children were born to them: Frank is deceased; Rosina, wife of Mr. Lockard, of this review; Columbus is deceased; Nettie is the wife of John Pope, of Union; Richard married Florence Woodward, and they live at Spirit Lake; Smith married Lydia Lawrence, and they live in Union. Seven daughters and one son have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Lockard, namely: Lillian married Calvin Newby, and they live in Union; Mabel, who married Clayton Hurley, died in 1909 when twenty-seven years of age, leaving one child, Irene, one other child having died in infancy; Ethel married Clair Carson, and they live in Union, Iowa; Josie married Clyde Rowen; Lois, Doris and Genevieve live at home. Mr. Lockard has been very successful in his business career. Besides his farm of three hundred acres, he operates an extensive cement plant at Union, the output of which is sent to customers covering a wide territory. In connection with the general farming he raises an excellent grade of live stock. He has kept the home place well improved and well tilled, so that it has retained its fertility. He has spent his life in his come community and has lived to see the wild, sparsely settled prairies round about transformed into fertile farms and dotted with pleasant homes. Politically, Mr. Lockard is a Republican and while he has always been interested in the advancement of local affairs he has not been an office seeker. He belongs to the Woodman lodge oat Union. Mr. Lockard is the son of William and Elizabeth (Steinbarger) Lockard, the father born in Virginia and the mother in Ohio. They came to Iowa in 1850, and to Hardin County in 1852, locating in Union Township on the farm Ira Lockard now lives on, where they died. The mother died November 19, 1890, aged seventy-five, and the father died January 16, 1894, aged seventy-three years. They were the parents of seven boys and one girl: John, who died from a gunshot wound at the battle of Shiloh; Philander died in a hospital in St. Louis from sickness contracted in the army; Isaac died in infancy; Phillip also died in infancy; George, dead; Thomas lives at Conrad, Iowa; Mary Ann, the eldest of the children, died at the age of fifteen."
