She was a woman OF unusual intel
ligence, fine linguist and great
traveller, having spent many years
abroad. She was able to converse on
almost any subject, and her splendid
memory made her an authority on
many questions of historical interest
and her intercourse and friendship
with many of the distinguished men
and women Of this and foreign lands,
and her store OF "reminiscences made
her at all times most delightful and
entertaining person.
Miss Lockwood was very kind and
charitable, her sympathies ever going
out to those in trouble and many in
and around Westminster and New
Windsor have just reason to remem-
Der her with gratitude. She was a
member OF the Just Government
League Of Carroll county, and in
several occasions gave interesting
talks on the feminist question at the
monthly meetings.
