Thomas F. Lockwood, M. D., one of the leading physicians of Conway,
Laclede county, Mo., is a native of Sangamon county, Ill., and was born
January 11, 1865.  He is a son of Isaac and Sarah (Dunbar) Lockwood,
the former of whom was born in Shelby county, Ill., and the latter in
Virginia.  They are now living in Washington township, Laclede county,
Mo.  The father is fifty-three years of age and the mother fifty-five.
They were married in Christian county, Ill., and moved to Shelby county
in 1869, whence they came to Laclede county, Mo., in 1878.  Previous to
his removal to Missouri, Isaac Lockwood worked as a mill wright, miller
and carpenter, and after he removed to Missouri he worked at his adopt-
ed trade until a recent date, since which time he has devoted his 
attention exclusively to farming.  He is a member of the Masonic frat-
ernity, and a Democrat in politics.  The parents are both members of 
the Missionary Baptist church.  To their union were born nine children,
seven of whom are living: Mary J., wife of Martin M. Sphar, a farmer of 
Laclede county; Francis M., a farmer of Allen county, Kansas; George
H., a farmer of Laclede county; Thomas F., M.D.; William A., at home;
Isaac O. and Ira E. (twins), at home.  Thomas F. Lockwood received a
liberal education in the schools of Laclede county, and began the study
of medicine under Dr. A. H. Neal, then of Laclede county.  During the
sessions of 1885-86 and 1886-87, he attended the Northwestern Medical
College, at St. Joseph, Mo., graduating in February, 1887.  He then 
returned to Laclede county and entered upon the practice of his chosen
profession, locating in Conway, Laclede county, in June, 1888, where he
has a growing patronage.  June 20, 1886, Dr. Lockwood married Ellen J.

Tennessee.  One child has been born to Dr. and Mrs. Lockwood, Eda
Ethel.  Dr. Lockwood also practiced on the Osage River one year, where
he was blessed with success, and which practice he still retains.  He
is one of the rising practitioners of Laclede county, and gives good
satisfaction in his work as a physician.  He is a most skillful member 
of the medical fraternity, using the greatest precaution in discharging
his professional duty.  His aim is to rank among the highest of the
profession.  The Doctor and wife are members of the Baptist church.  In
politics he is a Democrat.
