Notes for W
ILLIAM "WILL" FRANKLIN LOCKE:
The federal census of 1910 show that William and Mary were living with his step-daughter, Agnes Pearl Hawkins in Clarke County, Va. Following this time Will and Mollie owned and lived on a small farm of seven acres in the Greenway District, Waterloo Township, Clarke County, VA, purchased the 24th day of April, 1914, deed in Clarke County Courthouse, Berryville, VA. This farm was a part of the same land that was set off by the said Lucy Page Carter in a partition of the "Saratoga Estate" in1867 (the Saratoga farm is thousands of acres and still exists a very large parcel to date in 2000). Will and Millie sold their farm on October 12, 1940, deed registered in Clarke County Courthouse, Berryville, Va. At this time Will and Mollie moved into a small framed home built for them and owned by Mollie's daughter and son-in-law, Pearl and John Hawkins in the Township of Boyce, Clarke County, Virginia, where they lived until they died. They had an agreement between the two parties that Will and Mollie would have a lifetime residence/estate in this home. The small farm only had the remains of the barn on September 16, 2000 and the home had burned during the winter of 2000.

Will loved to do carpentry and made many small wooden items. He spent hours reading his Bible and sang in the men's choir at Boyce Methodist Church, Boyce, VA. A memory to share from Yolanda as a small child was the men were all quite old to me as a looking at them from a child's perspective. One gentleman was singing his heart out on a Sunday morning when, out flew his false teeth. That is a happening long to be remembered and at the time, gave laughter to many young folks. Will was very crippled with arthritis and walked with crutches until he became wheel chair bound a few years before his death. However, he never complained but struggled with making the best of each day.
