Obituary Collection of Kathlyn J Folmar
LOCKLAR, PERRY NICHOLS (b. 8-24-1892 – d. 11-3-1976)

	Perry Nichols Locklar died on Nov. 3, 1976, in Pike Co., Ala., after being
involved in an automobile accident.  He was buried in Hopewell Community
Cemetery, Henderson, Alabama.
	He was born near Henderson on Aug. 24, 1892, and was the son of William and
Millie Norris Locklar.  He married on Oct. 5, 1922, to Linnie Rochelle Schofield
of Camp Ground, Ala., and they lived at Henderson for 54 years and reared their
sons Rex and Wiley there.
	Mr. Locklar worked for Paul’s General Merchandise from about 1918 and lived in
the Otis Paul home at the time he and Mrs. Locklar married – so that the couple
lived there after marriage for a few months until setting up their own place. 
In 1922, he went into business for himself and operated his store in more than
one building over the years.  It was in its last location for 12 years and
served a large area.  He also was involved in farming.
	He was a member of Henderson Methodist Church for more than 50 years, served as
steward for many years, and was the one who rang the church bell on Sunday
mornings.  He made many contributions to the Darby’s Beat area in which he
lived.  He was trustee of Henderson School for 21 years, a member of the Pike
County FHA Committee for five years, and was a member of the elections committee
in Beat 9 for a number of years.  He supported the Pike County Lake and  also
the Pike Pioneer Museum, where he participated in activities.
	


Additional Comments:
Information for this writing was found at ancestry.com and mostly in a memorial
written about Mr. Locklar by an unnamed friend … maybe written 1977 and
published on Sept. 18, 1977.  That item mentioned that he grew up with four
sisters and that, upon death, he had three living grandchildren and one deceased.
