Lockyer, Edward - 1889

An Agreeable Surprise

Mr. and Mrs. Edward Lockyer were most agreeably surprised last evening at their home in Heela.  Mr. Lockyer, who has been engineer or the Heela Coke Company for the past five years, resigned that position to engage in business in Jeannette.   Early in the evening the young folks of Heela began to file in, bearing with them the choicest delicacies of the season.  A sumptuous repast was served.  Every one expressed regret at losing so estimable a family, and all joined in wishing them well in their new home.  May grand success attend them in their new enterprise.
~ Jeannette Dispatch, Friday, May 24, 1889, Page 1, Column 5

This may be the memorial for Edward Lockyer.
