JULIA ANN LOCKMAN
     Julia Ann GILLAND was born January 3, 1837 in Indiana where she lived until she 
grew to young womanhood.  In 1853 she was united in marriage to Moses LOCKMAN 
and later they came to Iowa where they established a home.  Seven children were born 
into this home, three dying in infancy, one son, James, died some two years ago.  The 
husband and father preceded her in death many years ago.  She passed away at the home 
of her son Estel Tuesday morning at 9:30 o'clock, age 88 years, 1 month and 7 days.  
Three children survive her, Mrs. Nancy Ann SSTOCKERr, William Estel and John R., all 
of the home vicinity.  Mrs. LOCKMAN was a member of the Church of Christ and was 
always faithful to the cause and a regular attendant until the infirmities of old age made it 
impossible to do so; she was a good neighbor and a kind friend to all.  The funeral services 
were held from the home Wednesday afternoon at one o'clock, Rev. L. W. CHILDS of the 
Baptist church being in charge.  Interment in the Sales cemetery.  Thus another one of the 
pioneer mothers of early Iowa has gone to her reward after a long and useful life.
