General Notes: Husband - Nathan Smith Locke
Nathan S. Locke, of this family, was given all the advantages of good schools, and was a student for two years in the Claremont (N.H.) Seminary, by careful improvement of his time becoming quite skilled in the trade of house building. At the age of twenty-one he went to Lewiston, Maine, living in the home of his oldest brother, Alpheus. About this time he learned the art of photography, and followed the business for five years in Lewiston, also two years in Boston. In 1865 he came west, locating at Green Bay, Wis., where he pursued his former vocation for a short period of time, after which he purchased a farm in Outagaimie county, Wis., and began the enterprise of fanning with all the persistent industry which characterizes his nature, and in the course of a few years he became a successful and well-to-do farmer. He was married November 7, 1865, to Abbie G. Ware, who was born in Kennebec county, Maine, daughter of Cyrus E. and Nancy A. (Mitchell) Ware, who were the parents of five children, whose names are: Mary M., Abbie G., Emma H., Nancy E. and James F. Her father's family came west in 1855, and settled in Outagaimic county, Wis., where Mr. Ware engaged in lumbering and general mercantile business. He was an active business man, and amassed a fortune. He was a Republican in politics, and during his lifetime held numerous public offices, though in no sense an office seeker. His son James F., an attorney-at-law, is a graduate of Lawrence University, Wis., and also of Ann Arbor (Mich.) Law School. He was a member of the State Assembly in 1880, 1881, 1883, and he was elected State Senator in 1884, in which capacity he remained until 1888, proving a hard worker, never shirking responsibility, but by honest endeavor proving himself capable of filling the prominent positions into which he was frequently placed. He also created and worked for the passage of important bills which have proved to be for the betterment of the people of Wisconsin; the establishing of the Home for Friendless
Children at Sparta, Wis., and other bills which have greatly improved the State laws relative to social purity. Abbie G., of this family, wife of Nathan S. Locke, was formerly a student at Lawrence University, and was for eight years
a successful and favorite teacher in the public schools of Outagamie county, Wis., where she was universally esteemed for her many virtues, and correct Christian living. She became early identified with the Woman's Christian Temperance organization, to which she is ardently attached. In May, 1866, Nathan S. Locke and wife united with the Congregational Church at Hortonville, Wis., wherein Mr. Locke was a leading and influential member, and superintendent of the Sunday-school for years. And through all these years of character building they have sought instruction from the great Giver of all our blessings.
Mr. Locke sold his farming interests in 1882, and moved to Antigo, which was then in its infancy. He invested in village lots, and land, and began building houses to sell and rent. He has had a prosperous business, building generally for himself, though he has built quite a number for other people. He has aided several societies in securing houses of worship and parsonages; was a liberal contributor toward securing the railroad improvements at Antigo; he has always aided financially in the temperance work of the place, of which both he and his wife are strong advocates. He is closely identified with the growth of the town, and takes great interest in its advancement and prosperity. He owns quite a large amount of real estate, both in the city and county, and is one of those who add largely to the upbuilding of their community.
