Locke, with a stock of goods invoicing $3,000, and continued the same until 1883. George C. then retired from the business, at which time they carried a stock of goods valued at $4,000. In February, 1887, John W. Locke bought out his brother, and has since conducted business for himself. He now carries a stock of goods valued at over $4,000 and does a business aggregating about $20,000 annually, in the general supply and furnishing line. Mr. Locke was born on February 3, 1858, and is the son and fifth child of J. F. Locke. He grew to manhood under the supervision of his father, and worked on the farm until fifteen years of age, when he decided to learn the blacksmith's trade. This he carried on for three years, after which he concluded to return to the farm, where his time was fully occupied with agricultural duties until 1880. He then formed a partnership with his brothers in merchandising and has made a complete success of this business. In addition to his store and fine dwelling, he owns considerable property in the county. December 1, 1883, he led to the altar Miss Mildred Smith, of Nashville, Tenn., who bore him two children: Willie and Mamie. Mr. Locke is a Royal Arch Mason, having been identified with that organization for nine years, and he and wife are members of the Methodist Church."
