FCNEKAL OF A UK KKUMiE WAS HELD FRIDAY 0 Funeral services of Alexander H. Lockridge were held at the residence •west of the city at 2:30 o’clock Friday afternoon Rev. Levi Marshall pastor of the Christian church conducted the services Interment was made in Forest Hill cemetery. Members of the Greencastle post of the G. A R., of which Mr. Lockridge was a member, were taken to th e fun eral in automobiles. The ritualistic service of the G. A. R was given at the grave. Th 0 pall bearers were: Frampton Rockhill, George W. Wood. John A. Keller, James Vanlangdingham, Spencer Hunter, John R Miller, Thom as Thompson and Frank A. Hays. All are .members of the Greencastle post of the G. A. R Alexander Howard I.ockridge was the descendant of a race of pioneers. While this country wa.- still a colony of Great Britain his ancestors crossed fron. Scotland into Virgima and from thoie later generations followed the trails of Boone and other ad. venturous spirits into th 0 new Ian is of Kentucky from whence still later generations made another exodus to the north of the Ohio rearing their humble homes in the then sparsely settled districts of Putnam County, Indiana, in 1830 and 1835 Here on a farm within a short half mile of wiiere he lived and died, Alexander was born June 10th, 1848, the so n of Andrew M. and Elizabeth S. Lock, ridge. Two brothers, Simpson F and Albert 0. survive him and one Robert A died in infancy He received his education in the common schools of Greencastle anj Indiana Asbury Uni.

versity.

W he n the guns of Fort Sumpter spoke in the opening days of the civil war he subject of this sketch had not reached his 13 birthday but in line with his heroic ancestors who had been represented in all the American wars and inheriting their martial spir it he bewailed his lack of years and longed to follow the flag. So con. slant and persistent were his plead, ings that parental objection was fin. ally overcome and he was permitted to enlist in Company F 133rd Indiana Volls. Infantry when he was still two months short of 16 years of age, with his regiment he was sent to the Dept, of General Sherman and during the spring and summer and early fall of the Atlanta campaign served on the Tennessee and in the neighborhood of Chattanooga, guarding th e railroads and bridges and supply depots so nec essary to the success of army move, ments. He was a faithful soldier and his services were rendered in th e joyous spirit and optomistic view of things that was so characteristic of his later years. He always referred to his army experiences as the hap. piest of his life—and it was at this time that his love for his country took such deep and lasting root. His patriotism was intense, and with his lovef or the flag was associated his deep and undying love fo r th e com. rades of the war with whom he had faced the dangers and privations and vicissitudes of the march and the

bivouac.

His last thoughts were of them and to his son. Will he left the request that those dear comrades should officiate i n the final ceremon. ies that they should be bearers of the pall, that their loving hands should lower him to the couch of his eternal sleep On the 23rd of January 1879 he was united in marriage to Miss Laura Pickwell of Sangemon County Illinois. Two sons were bor n of this marriage, Andrew M. and William P who with tneir mother survive him The passing of Alexander Lock, ridge is at a time we can ill spare such active forces from the industrial field. He was a producer and gave his whole soul to the work. Such was his untiring energy that neither the stability of markets could depress hij inclemency of the weather or the inspirits or lesson his daily round of duties The old saying the world ow. es me a living was not in his lexicon of life but he labored in and out of season to earn for himself and others. His philosophy of life was known of all men. He hated sham and de. ceit i n every shap e and form and his condemnation of such was swift and in language that was unmistakeable. He was a strong partisan, but never (offensively so. If he could give strong blows he was ever ready to receive (them and his friends were numbered among the members of all parties. He persistently declined office for him self but labored valiently for the promotion of others. He was a good los. er in the political fray If his party went down to defeat he did not lose heart and become despondent but jol. lied his opponents with the cry we’ll be with you again in the tides of the next election.

when the cattle were at pasture on the hills and the air was aquiver with the song of bird life. But it could not be The end cf the trail stops just when the country is in full fruition of its beauty and promise. And we would rather have it so, and fe&l it is a more fitting close to a weary trail that his hardy scion of a hardy clan should drop the implements of toil and lie down to rest in the shades of the sweet summer time. He loved all things that are good and beautiful and true. He was generous in his contributions to deserving causes, to the needy, the afflicted and the poor. Fittingly it may be said of him as was said by another over his brother’s bier if every one to whom this man had extended the hand of friendship should cast a single bud upon his grave “he would sleep tonight be. neath a wilderness of bowers..”

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. June 18.— On Tuesday June 21, the state highway commission received proposals for the construction of 33 bridges and culverts to be built on seven o.f the principal highways of the com. monwealth at not to exceed an approximate aggregate cost of $225,000 The specifications call for five brid. ges to be of steel and the others of concrete Lawrence Lyons, director,

says-

The new improvement, orcassioned because many of these structures are in dangerous condition and must eith er be replace^ or reinforced immed. lately to safeguard highway travelers will go up in thirteen counties and in various sections of the state. Seventeen of the proposed structures are on the National Road known as Route 3 and will be in the counties of Putnam, Marshall, Hancock, Henry Vigo and Hendricks This highway upo n completion will cross''the state in almost a direct line from Terre Haute to Richmond. According to William J. Titus bridge engineer for the department. Route 3 and 4 are to be paved later and it is expedient that bridges be in be. fore they are completed. “It is folly to tie up sections of good roads or force long detours for lack of bridge facilities,’* he savs. The department is determined that only necessary road and bridge construction proceed Mow because of the high pjnees of road building materials This conditions according to Engineer Titus does not so seriously effect bridge work because the price of labor, the principal item in bridge building is now about par with the 1914 level.
