Lockwood" "Of the agriculturists of Wells County who lay claim to the title of being self-made, few have better right to this distinction than has Joseph P. Lockwood. When he started upon his career it was a worker in the oil fields, but his energies and ambitions would not allow him to remain a wage-earner, and he graduallly developed into a landholder and eventually into one of the substantial agriculturists of his community. He is now the owner of 310 acres of well cultivated land in Nottingham Township, practically all of which has come to him as a result of his own efforts. Mr. Lockwood was born on a farm in Nottingham Township, Wells County, Indiana, three-quarters of a mile from where he now resides, February 1, 1868, and is a son of James E. and Frances A. (Block) Lockwood. His parents who still live in this township, are farming people, and Joseph P. Lockwood was reared to the pursuits of farming, his education being secured in the district schools. When still a young man he secured employment in the oil fields as a driller, a vocation at which he worked during a period of four years, but after his marriage bought twenty acres of land, a part of his father's farm, and began married life in an old log house. In the meantime he continued to work in the oil fields in various capacities, even being a producer for a short period, but finally found that his agricultural interests had grown to such an extent that they needed his entire attention and he accordingly gave up other matters for them. His original twenty acrees he sold for another property of a like acreage, on which he made his home until 1902, when he bought forty acres in Harrison Township. This he later sold and returned to Nottingham Township, where he has since enjoyed the best of prosperity and now is the owner of 310 acres of land. He has a splendid set of farm buildings, machinery and equipment of the most modern character, and other improvements that are valuable, and his entire prosperity evidences the good management and ability of the owner. As a citizen, he stands high in his community, and has always been a supporter of good enterprises and beneficial movements. Mr. Lockwood is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church and is serving on the board of trustees. On November 25, 1888, Mr. Lockwood, was married to Hepsey A. Stevens, who was born in Ohio and brought as a child by her parents to Wells County, where she was educated in the public schools. They became the parents of ten children, as follows: Ross, Bertha, Virgil, Edwin, Harry, Cecil, Grace, Stella, Ralph and Lawrence. Cecil Lockwood, a graduate of the Petroleum High School, is now cashier of the State Farmers Bank of Keystone, Indiana." According to the 1930 Nottingham Township, Wells County, Indiana Census, his grandson Robert D. Williams, age 15 was living with him as well as Dale L. Lockwood, age 13, son of Edwin and Iva.
