This time, instead of obituaries, following are some events noted in the local newspaper:
-
1875~~ Mr. Cal. Lockwood has a fig tree that is four years old and stands about four feet high.
-
1877~~On Tuesday afternoon, smoke was discovered issuing from under the south side of Cal. Lockwood's restaurant (located just north of the railroad tracks on the west side of South Grand Avenue) and, upon investigation, it was found to come from a fire that appears to have been smouldering under the floor for some time. How it originated is a mystery, but most probably from the sparks from a passing engine.
Meeting of Cal's Club~~On January 4th, 1896, the ninth annual mid-winter meeting of Cal's Club was held at Brother Cal's cosy home, and was enjoyed very much by all present, with all but one member present.
-
When the general business was disposed of, Brother Cal announced supper, and such a supper. Among the many good things to eat was a roasted pig, which had been purloined by some members of the Club from the farm of J.A. Lockwood, who was asked to do the carving. After doing justice to the repast, they adjourned to the parlor. S.L. Bignall, who had justg returned from a trip to the Gulf Coast in Miss., proceeded to distribute to each member a cane, each of which was cut on the historic Farragut plantation, situated eight miles west from Scranton, the county seat of Jackson Co., Miss., now owned by R.L. Glenn and his son, Fred.
-
With each came a botanical account of the same. They were distributed as follows: Cypress, S.S. Abbott; Black Gum, J.A. Lockwood; Rattan, Joshua Dunn; Sweet Gum, F.G. Palmerton; Magnolia, J.L. Cooper; English Holly, R.C. Hackett; Stinkbush, F.G. Rounsville; Myrtle, A.W. Knapp; Sweet Orange, J.P. Spencer; Blood Orange, W.B. Gale; Yapon, Cal. Lockwood.
-
A vote of thanks was extended to John C. Ellsworth for the timely arrival of refreshments during the most trying part of the business session.
