John David Locke 1876-1920

JOHN DAVID LOCKE, was born on 4 February 1876 in Henderson County, Kentucky. He was the oldest living child of Henry David Locke and Cornelia Alice Brickey. An older sister Ella F. Locke born 13 February 1875 died just 4 months after her birth on 10 June 1878 of Cholera Infantum.
Records chronicling John's life are scarce. In the 1880 census we find John, his parents Henry David Locke and Cornelia Alice Brickey, and a younger sister Lillian Camilia living with Cornelia Alice Brickey's parents, James Allen Brickey and Priscella Ann Gish in Marion, Sebastian County, Arkansas.
Census records for the Locke family show all of John's younger siblings being born in Henderson County Kentucky. His parents are buried in Sebastian County. This was where they made their home for life.
John married Darthula Tucker on 30 August 1898. Their first child, my grandmother Blanche Beatrice Locke, was born a year later on 3 August 1899. Later census and birth records show some of John and Darthula's children being born in Oklahoma and some born in Arkansas. Sebastian County, Arkansas and LeFlore and McIntoch Counties, Oklahoma, are the areas that John and Darthula lived in during their lives. The counties were just across the State borders from one another so it is easy to see why some of  the children are born in Oklahoma and some in Arkansas.
By 1910 The family is living in McIntoch County, Oklahoma. Within 12 years of being married John and Darthula would wecome 6 children into their family namely Blanche Beatrice, Dolphea, Audie Lee, Ollie Mae, Jesse David, Modest Marie, and Eugene Clifton Locke.
John David Locke died in 1920. The exact date of his death is not known. He is buried in the Leard Cemetery in Pocola, LeFlore County, Oklahoma
