Woo hoo---a hit (of sorts) after a long dry spell!! My great aunt was Edna (Lockwood) Meacham. (My grandmothers sister.) I was lucky to visit two of Aunt Edna's daughters this past year, wandered around Weldon, found both houses that had belonged to Lockwood's, and visited the church and the cemeteries. Orion Latimer was Aunt Grace (Lockwood) Latimer's husband--Aunt Grace a sister to Edmond Lockwood---Aunt Edna, Aunt Irene and Grandma Helene's father.
