They rest side by side in the old cemetery at Mount Hope; and it is interesting to recall the fact that this beautiful and striking name for this locality was chosen by Milton K. Lockwood, son of the Pioneer.

The Lockwoods have been prominent people in the Bay of Quinte district. Milton K. Lockwood is a notary public and issuer of marriage licenses, and represents the Canadian Permanent Loan and Savings Company, besides other corporations and capital. For many years he has been Collector of Customs, and has always taken an active interest in municipal affairs, having been the first Reeve of the village of Colborne, and for more than forty years, school trustee, including twenty-two years as chairman of the board. He has been the village clerk of Brighton for more than a quarter of a century, and in military service has been gazetted respectively ensign, lieutenant, captain and adjutant in the second battalion Northumberland Militia.

Thomas Campbell Lockwood succeeded his father as Postmaster in 1872, and held this office for twenty-one years. He has been prominent in municipal, social and business matters, being agent for thirty years for the G. N. W. Telegraph Company, and he is also agent for the Wade's telephone line, which connects Brighton with the surrounding towns, including Warkworth, Cod-dington, Woolar, Frankford, Murray Canal and Smithfield, and other places in the townships of Brighton, Murray and Percy.

His son, Clarence K. Lockwood, who married Josephine M. Huycke, died in 1895. Of his children it may be noted that Thomas C. Lockwood is at present town clerk of Brighton, and agent for the G. N. W. Telegraph and the Canadian Express Companies; Thornton K. Lockwood is teller in the Standard Bank at Brighton; Winnie Lockwood, unmarried, is a telegraph operator, and Anna, her sister, is attending the High School.
