[p. 995] a representative citizen of Hickory Township, residing on his finely improved farm of 100 acres, which is favorably situated but one mile north of the city of New Castle, on the west side of the East Brook Road, was born on this farm in 1869. He is a son of W. E. and Mary A. (Parker) Lockhart and a grandson of John Lockhart, and of John Parker. The parents of Mr. Lockhart came to Lawrence County about the time of the Civil War. The father became one of the leading farmers of Hickory Township. They reared a family of five children, namely: Maud V., who is deceased; Guy L.; Clyde N., born in 1871, who is a traveling salesman; Fred C., born in 1875, also a traveling salesman, and John P., born in 1877, who is an attorney at New Castle.
Guy Leroy Lockhart attended school at Edenburg and subsequently taught school in different parts of Lawrence County until he decided to devote his attention to agricultural pursuits. He came into possession of the present farm when his parents passed away. They were well known and enjoyed the esteem and respect of a large proportion of their circle of acquaintances. Mr. Lockhart owns one of the best improved farms in Hickory Township and his handsome brick residence, with its well kept surroundings, together with other substantial farm buildings, give a pleasant impression of what an American country home may be.
In 1900 Mr. Lockhart was married to Mary Munnell, who is a daughter of William A. Munnell, who was a leading insurance man and successful fruit grower of Mercer County. They have had four children—William Glen, Helen, Fred and Kenneth, the two latter being deceased. Mr. Lockhart is a member of Lodge No. 195, Odd Fellows, at New Castle.
