The information on this postcard is sparse. I only have a name and age: "James Leroy Lockwood, 3 1/2 months old." It wasn't sent through the mail so, alas, there isn't a postmark. The photo was found at an antique store in Alberta, Canada, along with unidentified photos from Wisconsin and Minnesota. It could date anywhere from 1907-1930, but is mostly likely 1907-1920. This is where a photographer's imprint would have really come in handy. This is why it is important to remember to label your photograph, folks. I don't want to be a pessimist, but I'm thinking we may never know anything more about our dear little James.
Possibly James Lee aka Leroy Lockwood, b. 16 Sep 1920 Cincinnati, Hamilton, Ohio d. 3 Sep 1944 (prob WWII Italy/Sicily/Rome in Army Air Corp & interred there), son of to James O (1895-1933) & Lulu I Depenbrock (1894-1999) Lockwood. His father, a street railway conductor, died in 1933. Surviving family members, his mother Lulu survived; a brother George M Lockwood b. 1919 prob. Cincinnati, but can find no records for him; a wife, Dorothy R Lockwood; 1730 Goodman Ave, North College Hill, OH.
ReplyDeleteIn 1920 they lived in Cincinnati, but in 1930 the widowed Lulu & 2 sons were living in Colerain, Hamilton, OH. I only found 1 family tree on Ancestry.com tied to this family unit.
