  • Notes 
    • (VII) Nathaniel Chase Locke, son of David Locke, (6), was born October 27, 1837, in Hopkiuton, New Hampshire. He was educated in the public schools of his native town and at the Friends' school in Weare, New Hampshire. He learned the trade of carpenter. He was in the government service at Ship Island, New Orleans, as a wheelwright, during the civil war, at the time General Benjamin F. Butler, of Massachusetts, was in command of the conquered city. He lived at Francestown, New Hampshire, for a time after the war, then removed to Salem, Massachusetts, and continued to work at his trade as carpenter until 1871. He was always interested in mechanics and possessed much inventive skill. He acquired a working knowledge of the machinist's trade. He patented various useful inventions in the steam fitting line, and in 1871 entered partnership with his brother, Alpheus C. Locke, under the firm name of Locke Brothers, to manufacture steam fitting specialties, such as valves, pumps, steam regulators, etc. From a small and modest beginning, the business of his firm has grown into one of the most prominent and successful industries of Salem and the name of the firm has the best of reputations for its varied products. The firm has always kept in the front rank in its line of goods and constantly gained more business. The firm became a corporation October 1, 1902, under the name of the Locke Regulator Company. Mr. Locke is president, his son, Albert N. Locke, is treasurer, and his son-in-law, Charles A. Archer, secretary. Mr. Locke attends the Advent church, North street, Salem, while his wife and children attend the Tabernacle Congregational (orthodox) Church. In politics he is a Republican but has never sought political office. He is a member of the Ancient Order of United Workmen and of the Order of Pilgrim Fathers. He is interested in local history and genealogy and is a member of the Essex Institute. He married, October 28, 1858, Sophro- nia T. Felch, born March 1, 1837, daughter of John Thompson and Sally (Lewis) Felch, (see sketch of Felch family herewith). Mrs. Locke has held several offices in the Order of Pilgrim Fathers. Children, born in Salem : 1. Albert Nathan, born November 4, 1865, married, April 28, 1896, Alice Griswold ; he is associated in business with his father. 2. Sally Abbie, born August 7, 1873, married, December 6, 1899, Charles Augustus Archer, secretary of the Locke Regulator Company ; child, Phebe Waldo, born November 7, 1902.
