James G. Locke, who was born in Rye, was agent for the Frank Jones Brew-
ing Company and was a democrat. His wife, the mother of our subject, was
from South Berwick, Me. They attended the Free Baptist church.
     Andrew G. Locke, who was the only child of his parents was educated in
the common schools and at the Lewis E. Smith Business College in Ports-
mouth. He then learned the blacksmith's trade in Portsmouth, serving a
three years' apprenticeship and immediately after, in 1889, opened his present
business at Rye Center, where he has since resided. He has never worked
as a journeyman, believing it better policy to work for himself. He is a
democrat in politics, but not a strict party man, reserving the right to vote
independently upon occasion. He is a member of Rye Grange and of the
Junior Order American Mechanics.
     Mr. Locke was married October 20, 1897, to Ella B. Haley, who was
born in Nova Scotia, a daughter of Samuel and Sarah J.(Welner) Haley
of that province. Her mother now resides in Dover, N. H., where Mr. Haley
was engaged in farming until his death. The children in the Haley family
are: Phoebe, wife of Nat Brown; Martha, wife of Frank Prescott; Ella B.,
now Mrs. Locke; Harvey Howard, and Minnie, residing at home. Mr. and
Mrs. Locke have a son, Edson Gardner, who is attending the high school at
Portsmouth.
