For Holly Livengood. Hi Holly, I may have found the parents of your Arthur Lockwood, who died in the train/car accidentof 1929. It's pretty circumstantial at this point, but might be worth your checking out further. They would be James C. and Sarah Lockwood of Milan, Erie County, OH. Census records from Ancestry.com on James C.. shows the following: 1. 1880 Federal census, Milan Village, Erie County, OH. Enumerated 22 Jun 1880. Read: Name, age, occupation, place person born, place father born, place mother born: James C. Lockwood, 25, farmer, OH, OH, OH Sarah Lockwood, 26, keeps house, OH, Baden (Germany), Switzerland. Arthur Lockwood, 7 mos., OH, OH, OH. (Note: this would put Arthur's birth year at abt. 1879, and age 50 in 1929 at the time of the accident. His father, James C., would have been born abt. 1855.) 2. Ohio 1910 Census, Miracode Index. Name: James C. Lockwood Age: 55 Birthplace: OH County, Erie, Milan Relaton: Head of Household Wife: Sarah, age 57, born OH Son: Arthur, age 30, born OH 1920 Federal Census, Milan Village, Erie County, OH. Enumerated 12 Jan 1920. James C. Lockwood, head, 65, OH, OH, OH, (none for occupation) Sara Lockwood, wife, 66, OH, Baden (Germany), Switzerland. (Note: Arthur Lockwood was still living at home at abt.age 30 in 1910 Census, but had left home by 1920. If his oldest child was his daughter Alice, who died in the accident at age 15, then he could have been married abt 1914, or a few years earlier when he was in his early 30's -- and still living at home with his parents when he was age 30.) In our Atlas and Directory of Erie County, Ohio,1896, we find a J. C. Lockwood listed as a land owner in Milan, Erie County, OH, Section 4, 82 acres. This property adjoins the "Village of Milan." Listed as Residents and Freeholders of Milan/Milan Village: J.C. Lockwood W. E. Lockwood R.M. Lockwood S. Lockwood E.M. Lockwood T. Lockwood S.A. Lockwood M.W. Lockwood M.E. Lockwood. You mentioned that Arthur Lockwood "died in the Selon Junction Train/Car wreck of 1929...." This same Atlas & Directory of Erie County, Ohio also shows a map of the townships of Erie County, including the Railroad Systems. One rairoad, the L.S. & M.S. R.R., is shown passing through the towns of Sandusky City, Huron Village, Ceylon Village, and Vermillion, running along close to the shoreline of Lake Erie. A spur of this same R.R is shown as running due south from the main R.R, splitting off at the outskirts of Ceylon Village. It appears to me that this junction, where a spur of the R.R. runs south from nearby Ceylon Village, could be where the train/car accident occurred, and that this Ceylon (Village) junction could be what you called "Selon Junction." This Ceylon Village junction appears to be a relatively short distance (no scale is given) just to the northwest of Milan Village where James C. and Sarah Lockwood resided. This might imply that Arthur Lockwood still lived in the general area of his parents at the time of the accident. In our Huron County, Ohio Atlas of 1891, we find a J.C. and a James C. Lockwood owning property in Norwalk Township and Townsend Township, just over the line from Erie County, in Huron County. They are: J.C. Lockwood, Norwalk Twp, section 3, lot 61, 13.75 acres, and Townsend Twp, section 4, lot 94, 45 acres. Jas. C. Lockwood, Norwalk Twp, section 3, lot 61, 26 acres. I couldn't find a definite clincher that would link the Arthur Lockwood who died in the train/car wreck, with the Arthur Lockwood who was the son of James C. and Sarah Lockwood, and the above may be a house of cards, but the information seems to fit in all the right places.

That's a nice piece of work, Ken. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, October 20, 2003 2:31 PM Subject: [OHHURON-L] Re: Train/Car wreck in 1929 > For Holly Livengood. > > Hi Holly, > > I may have found the parents of your Arthur Lockwood, who died in the > train/car accidentof 1929.

Subject: Re: [OHHURON-L] Found article for -->Train/car wreck in 1929 Source: Chronicle Telegram (Elyria, Ohio) Friday, 1929, July 26 Headline: Three enroute to Vermilion picnic killed by train. Norwalk, Ohio, July 26. Triple funeral services will be held for three members of one family, killed at Ceylon, near here, last yesterday, when their automobile was struck by a New York Central flyer. The victims were Arthur Lockwood, 50, his wife, May, 47, and a daughter, Alice, 15. Another daughter, Mable, 7, will recover, although she was seriously injured. A standing freight train apparently obscured Lockwood's view of the approaching passenger train when he drove onto the tracks. Danger lights at the crossing also were obscured. The Lockwoods were enroute to a Sunday school picnic at Vermilion when the tragedy occurred. Thats all that was in that newspaper.
