Ethel Hodgson was the daughter of Reverend John Hodgson (1857-1920), Curate of Barton and St. Michael’s, Workington, and later vicar of St. Michael and All Angels Church, Nether Wasdale, Cumberland, from 1892-1920. Her mother was Isabella Norman.
Ethel had three siblings, Norman, Isabella Goodwin, and a half sister Mary Wilhelmina.

When Ethel was about four years old, her mother died of tuberculosis shortly after the birth of her sister Isabella.
John, suddenly widowed with three young children, called upon his parents, William and Sarah Hodgson, for help. They took baby Isabella into their home to assist their son. In the 1891 Census John, widow, is living with his five year old daughter, Ethel, three year old son, Norman, and a 54 year old widowed housekeeper, Mary Haughan. Baby Isabella is still living with grandparents William and Sarah Hodgson.
According to Ethel’s niece, Christina Millest, John married again for the sake of his children, but his in-laws felt it was a betrayal, (poor chap!) and would have nothing to do with the stepmother, and persuaded Ethel to think like wise. So Ethel grew up with this family rift from an early age.
The stepmother Christina refers to was Wilhelmina Gibson, from Carlisle, Cumberland, England. Wilhelmina was the daughter of Scottish born parents William and Mary Gibson. Her father was a lithographic artist.
According to the 1881 Census, Wilhelmina was a school-mistress in Clay Lane, Derbyshire. Her experience with children might have been an attractive prospect for John, a young, widowed, father of three. They married in the early years of the 1890’s. By 1894, John and Wilhelmina had a daughter together, named Mary Wilhelmina.
Ethel’s brother, Norman, became an educator. In 1911, at age 23, his occupation is “Assistant Master Secondary” at St. George's school in Harpenden, in Hertsfordshire. Eventually, he became a teacher at St. George's where he met and married the Head Mistress of the School. Norman and his young family moved to Preston, Lancashire, where he became Head Master at Preston Grammar School and remained there until his retirement.
Ethel’s sister, Isabella was born in the early months of 1890. Although she stayed with her grandparents during the first few months of her life, by the time the next census comes around, she is living with her father, step-mother, and step sister Mary. In 1911, Isabella Goodwin Hodgson was boarding in London at the address 99 Hereford Road, Bayswater W., Paddington, London. She was working as a Civil Service Clerk. She died in 1914, age 24, as a result of tuberculosis.
Step-sister Mary Wilhelmina was born in 1894. It appears she also went into teaching. In the 1911 Census, she is seventeen, living with her parents, and a 15 year old domestic servant, Ruth Errington. Mary Wilhelmina is listed as “student (teaching)".
Ethel attended the Clergy Daughters' School in Casterton. This was the same institution that the Bronte sisters attended. Ethel was awarded at least two books for learning scripture: The Early Days of Christianity and The Life and Works of St. Paul, both written by Frederic W. Farrar. Both books have bookplates dedicated to Ethel and signed by the local Bishop, Edward Henry Bickersteth, and the Head Mistress, Mabel Williams. At the time Ethel would have been about sixteen years of age.
According to Ethel’s niece, Christine Millest (daughter of Norman Hodgson), Ethel was a bright girl, she got a degree and trained as a teacher.
In 1911 Census, Ethel is boarding in Kendal, Cumberland, with 75 year old William Pearson, his daughter, Elizabeth, and one domestic servant, Ann Good. Ethel lists her occupation as elementary teacher; a job that runs in the family!

Christina continues to explain in her letter that, [Ethel] never married. Legend has it that she fell in love with a WWI army officer whom she met when he was in a local Military Convalescent Home, but it never came to anything. She was musical and played the church organ… After she retired she lived in Barrow-in-Furness (Lancashire industrial town, not far from Preston where my father was a Grammar School Headmaster) for many years, but I think her heart was in the village of Wasdale, and she moved back to the area eventually, where she ended her days as an eccentric local spinster with a houseful of cats!

Francis Edwin Duder (1893-1983)
Francis Edwin Duder was born on 28 January 1893, in St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada. He was the youngest son of Charles Robert Duder and his first wife, Ida Marion Carter, whose father was Hon. Sir Fred Carter, K.C.M.G., Chief Justice. Charles and Ida had three other children besides Francis, but only their eldest son, Stanley, survived past infancy. Ida herself passed away in 1896, when Francis was only three years old. His father eventually remarried Edith Jardine in 1901, and together they had five children.
At the age of 17, in 1910, Francis left Newfoundland with plans to head to Edmundston, New Brunswick to work as a bank clerk. In 1911, he is listed as a bank clerk in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
By December 1913, Francis is living in Montreal, Quebec, according to Notarial records. On 31 March 1915 he enlisted in the Canadian Overseas Expeditionary Force, following Canada’s entrance into World War I. His Attestation Papers list him as 5 foot, 10 inches tall, with a dark complexion, brown eyes and black hair. He had no prior military experience besides four and a half years with the cadet corps, but he became a Staff-Sergeant nonetheless. He joined the 38th Battalion immediately, and then was moved to Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry on 16 July 1915. Six months later, on 25 January 1916, the Canadian military put his job experience as a bank clerk to use, and he was transferred to the Canadian Army Pay Corps, where, it appears, he closed out his military career.
Francis was also a founding member of the Canadian Jurisdiction of the Modern Order of Saint Lazarus, which rewarded him with the title of Chevalier for his service.
At some point between 1919 and 1921, Francis married Angele Marette de Cerfontaine in Quebec. In 1921, they were living at 126 Rue Cartier, Quebec City. Evidently, they did not have any children. Francis and Angele eventually relocated to Nova Scotia. In 1961, Angele died leaving Francis a widow for twenty-two years.
Francis died in 1983, at the age of 90. Both he and Angele, are buried at the Middleton Corners Cemetery at the Holy Trinity Anglican Church, in Nova Scotia.
The UPEI Provenance Collection’s copy of The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Brontë has the inscription “F.E. Duder St. John’s - Nfld June / 12”, along with an R. Mingo Sweeney bookplate, who was also a founding member of the Canadian Modern Order of Saint Lazarus.

Florence G. Attenborough (1867-1958)
Florence Gertrude Attenborough was born in 1867, in Sevenoaks, Kent, and was the daughter of minister Amos Beardsley Attenborough and his wife Julia [maiden name unknown].
Florence had two siblings: Julia Heaton Attenborough and Arthur B. Attenborough. Julia was born in 1862 in York, and according to the Non-conformist Register, was baptized in June of that year in Hackney, Middlesex. Her death was registered in the July/Aug/Sep 1862 registry, meaning that she died before her sixth month of life. Florence never met her sister.
Florence's only other sibling, Arthur, was two years younger than her.
Florence began her writing career as a contributor to local journals, including the Royal Cornwall Gazette and the Plymouth Weekly Mercury. When she moved to London in 1886, she began to write for Cassell's Saturday Journal under the pseudonym Crystabel.
Florence's parents both died in 1898, her father before July and her mother on December 3rd, leaving her parentless at the age of 31.
In the same year of her parents death, Florence published her first book of poems, Cameos, and other Poems. She also published Alfred the Great: a drama; The Ballad of Dundee and other poems in 1902.
Although she appeared to stop publishing books of her poetry after 1902, she became a lyricist for song writers, including A Cantata or Operetta for Girls Voices: a Day in Roseland which was published in 1909.
In 1917, she married Richard H. Stodden. Some of her lyrical works cite her name as Florence Hedley-Stodden. Richard died on 25 July 1944. Florence was the recipient of his assets in Richard's will, dated 18 September 1944. Richard and Florence are buried at St. Gerrans Church graveyard in Gerrans, Cornwall. The tombstone reads:
In proud and happy memory of my dear husband Hedley Stodden, called home July 25th 1944. I shall go to him also of Florence C (Chrystabel) his widow. Re-united May 1958.
The UPEI Provenance collection, owns Florence's first book Cameos and other Poems. Inside, Florence has written the words, To Andrew Lang, Esqu. A tribute of admiration from the authoress. March 31st. Andrew Lang was an author and book collector and March 31st was his birthday. His collection was sold at a Sotheby's auction on Dec. 5 & 6, 1912. UPEI's Provenance copy of Cameos and other Poems was one of these books.

Francis Clement Kelley (1870-1948)
Francis Clement Kelley was born in Vernon River, Prince Edward Island, on 23 October 1870. He was the son of John and Mary Anne Kelley, the oldest son of six children: Katie Kelley, Francis Clement Kelley, Joseph A. Kelley, Lucy Gertrude Kelley, Arthur A. Kelley and Celia A. Kelley.
Francis studied at St. Dunstan's University in Charlottetown.
In 1891 he emigrated to the United States. He took an oath to become an American citizen on 28 July 1893, the same year he became a priest in Detroit, Michigan.
He founded the Catholic Church Extension Society in 1905, to help promote the mission of the Catholic Church in rural United States.
Father Kelley was very involved numerous war efforts. He served as a military chaplain during the Spanish-American War. His diplomatic skills were put to the test as a representative of the bishops of Mexico during the World War I Paris Peace Conference, and, later, a representative for the Mexican bishops during the Mexican Revolution.
On 25 June 1924 Father Kelley was made Bishop of Oklahoma City and kept the post until he died on 1 February 1948.
Francis Clement Kelley was a generous donor to his old school, St. Dunstan’s University, (now University of Prince Edward Island) in Charlottetown. Amongst his donated books is Top o' the Mornin', now part of the UPEI Provenance Collection. The book is inscribed by the author to Father Kelley:
To Father Kelley of Lapeer with fond remembrance, Seumas MacManus, October 1920

Francis Forester Walker (1893-1975)
Francis Forester Walker was born to a Roman Catholic family on 9 February 1893 to James J. Walker (47), a Railway Clerk, and Lucy McSweeney (47) in Westmorland, New Brunswick. Francis grew up with seven other siblings, five brothers and two sisters. The 1901 census lists his siblings in descending order: Frederick (25), Reginald (23), Henry (22), Gertrude (17), Lawrence (16), John (11) and Madeline (9). Francis, in 1901, was the youngest (7).
Before Francis was born, his parents had a few other children who tragically died. In the 1881 census, a child named Winnifred Walker is mentioned as aged 4/12 months old. Winniferd’s date of death is uncertain, but it is prior to the 1891 census, as they are not heard of after that date. One daughter, Kathleen Mary, died around two months old due to Cholera in 1889. Then, after Francis’ birth in 1893, their family had another daughter in 1894 by the name of Lucy Agnes Mary, who unfortunately died at two months old, nine days, to “Inflammation of the Stomach.”
In the book: "Souvenir booklet and directory of all students registered since January 17, 1855: seventy-fifth anniversary of St. Dunstan's College, August 7 & 8, 1929," F. F. Walker is listed to have been entered into enrollment between 1907-1913 on page 81. It is important to note that names listed in the book depends on when their name was first recorded in the register and count the years that their schooling may have been interrupted. In 1907 Francis would have been 14. In 1911, the year the book's inscription is dated, he would have been 18, which would have been around the standard age for college.
Francis was an excellent student during his time at St. Dunstan’s College. In the 1010-11 Prospectus, he got Honours in Greek for class II and Algebra III. Francis participated in various activities such as mock parliament, Philosophy day, football in 1910-1911 and was one of the editors of The Red and White. Francis was involved in the St. Thomas Aquinas Literary and Debating society in 1911, acting as Treasurer. Francis participated in mock parliament sessions while at college. Francis served in the mock parliament as the secretary of state on 2 February 1912. In 1912 Francis was also part of the drama club, acting as one of the evil characters in Richelieu. In March of 1913, Francis also served as Toast Master for his Philosophy class for Philosophers Day.
Francis was also an excellent writer. The 1913 March edition of The Red and White features an essay written about amusement within one's life. It is available on the Saint Dunstan's University website: "Place of Amusement in a Well ordered life."
Francis graduated from St. Dunstans College in 1913, in: "Souvenir booklet and directory of all students registered since January 17, 1855: seventy-fifth anniversary of St. Dunstan's College, August 7 & 8, 1929," his picture from the year he graduated is featured with other graduates in that year on page 65 and then also on page 25. After graduating from St. Dunstans, he began studying at Holy Heart Seminary to become a priest.
On 7 June 1913, tragedy struck the Walker family as Lucy, Francis’ mother, passed away just after he had graduated from St. Dunstan’s. She had been in failing health just before her death.
In 1916 Francis had his first mass on the 4 of July at St. Bernard’s Church. This mass was an important event in St. Bernard’s Church, as Francis was “the first to be raised to the dignity of the holy priesthood.” His mass was attended by friends, schoolmates, and family. He was a well-loved reverend in his career very early on, and on Christmas 1916, he was rewarded with gold for his work with the altar boys at the cathedral of St. John.
The 1921 census reports that Francis is 28, bilingual and single; although it does have a woman listed beneath him, “Bridget Duffy (45),” it is unclear why she is listed there, but her occupation is “housekeeper” with a “Patrick Duffy (52)”, carpenter, listed right underneath her. All three of them are Roman Catholic, so there might be a connection. There is a possibility that he was renting a house from the Duffy’s as Patrick seemed to own a house while Francis was renting, but this is speculation. The 1921 census is a bit unclear to read, but she is listed as a servant to the head of the house.
According to the 8 December 1923 edition of the Guardian, Francis was honoured to officiate his sister Madeline’s wedding. The event took place in Montreal later in the month, on 27 December 1923. His father was not there, as the paper mentions the “late Mr. and Mrs. James J. Walker.” It is suggested that between 1913 and 1923 his father passed away, but it is unclear when.
Even though Francis graduated from St. Dunstans College, he still remained invested in the Alumni Association, attending a meeting in 1929, then again on 29 May 1931 as part of the executive committee. He also attended this in 1933.
From 1932 to 1959, there is little mention of Francis in the newspapers and other publications online. From what information is available, his story from 1932-59 goes like this: In 1932, Francis attended the thirty-first Eucharistic congress in Dublin as a pilgrim. He participated in this event with other priests like of Walter J. McGuigan (noted on booklives). Further, into his career as a reverend, he participated in various funerals, pilgrimages, and marriage ceremonies leading up to 1959. The pilgrimages, in particular, were to St. Anne de Beaupre in Quebec. He arranged some of these pilgrimages himself.
On a church webpage, there is mention of Francis having been at a church from 1940 until his death in the 70s. He was a devoted member and pastor of St. Teresa of Calcutta Parish, a catholic church in Southern New Brunswick. During the time Francis was a reverend at the church, the first recreation and bowling alleys were built, and when they burned down, he was determined to build them bigger and better as he had much concern for the youth at the church. The new hall and alley were built in 1950.
The date that Rev. Francis Forester Walker died is unknown, but he passed away in 1975 and was buried in St. Francis Xavier Roman Catholic Cemetery Ward's Creek, Sussex Parish, Kings Co., NB. His sisters and their husbands were buried along with him.
The inscription on the inside cover where we find Francis’ mark in history is on the first cover page of “Bombey and Son” by Charles Dickens: “Dec 4th 1911. Francis Walker, St. Dunstan’s College, Charlottetown, P. E. I.”

Francis Herbert Hogan (1897-unknown)
Francis Herbert Hogan was born in 15 April 1897 in Moncton. A record of his baptismal record, from St. Bernard's Parish, dated 25 April 1897, can be found in the Acadia, Canada, Vital and Church Records (Drouin Collection). It list his parents as Frank Hogan and Ida Larissey (sometimes spelled Larracey), with Annie and Thomas Hogan acting as witnesses.
Just after Francis was born he and his family moved to the U.S. They lived there between 1897 and 1910, in Boston. There is evidence that Margaret came back to Canada with some of the children (Margaret, Francis and Thomas are living in Moncton with Ida's family, in 1901). Francis and Thomas' father, Michael "Frank", stayed in the U.S. working as a Rail Road Conductor. In 1910 the whole family was living together in Boston, and by 1911 they were all back in Moncton New Brunswick.
Francis had four younger siblings: Thomas Leo, Ethel, Mary Josephine and Ralph Bernard. According to the 1910 U.S. Census another child was born [sometime after 1900] but died as an infant and/or youth.
In 1920 Francis decided to work in the United States. His record of U.S., Records of Aliens Pre-Examined in Canada, dated 8 March 1920, indicates that Francis intended to work permanently in the U.S. He was heading to work in the Traffic Department at the Rail Road in Philadelphia.
Something must have occurred to change his mind, because the next year, in 1921, Francis H. Hogan was 24 years old and lodging in Kapuskasing Ontario. He was involved in the development of the first pulp mill in Kapuskasing with the new Spruce Falls Company Ltd. His occupation is listed as traffic clerk.
This is the last information we have been able to find on Francis Herbert Hogan.
The UPEI Provenace book A Lad of the O'Friels, by Seumas MacManus was owned by Francis Hogan. A request is handwritten on the inside cover:
Please return to Francis Herbert Hogan. 321 Archibald St., Moncton N.B.
It appears someone did not follow this request.

Francis McCullagh (1874-1956)
Captain Francis McCullagh was born on 30 April 1874 in Omagh, County Tyrone, Ireland to parents John, a publican, and Bridget McCullagh. He had one brother who emigrated to New Zealand and 3 sisters, two of whom emigrated to Britain and New York. Francis would become a world known war correspondent and author.
Francis first attended school at Christian Brothers’ School in Omagh, from 1882 to 1892. He then attended St. Columb’s College in Derry for the priesthood but would decide on becoming a journalist instead. Francis secured his first position at the Scottish Catholic Observer newspaper in Glasgow, Scotland.
After working in Scotland, Francis began travelling and purchased a ticket to Colombo, Sri Lanka. While there, he became an editor for The Catholic Messenger but not satisfied with staying in one place, Francis travelled to Bangkok, Thailand where he worked with the Siam Free Press. Due to a direct recommendation by the Japanese Chargé d’Affaires, Francis moved to Tokyo, Japan and became the editor of The Japan Times an English language newspaper.
In August 1903, Francis moved to Port Arthur, in Russia to work at the newspaper Novi Krai. In the next year, the war between Russia and Japan broke out and this was when Francis first became known around the world. He was based on a British ship “Colombia'' when Japan sank the Russian fleet, he sent his first person account to the New York Herald, and his correspondence was seen around the world. In 1906, after the war, Francis published his first book titled, With the Cossacks: Being the Story of an Irishman Who Rode With the Cossacks Throughout the Russo-Japanese War.
After his first experience in the Russo-Japanese war, Francis went on to observe and write about the Portuguese Revolution of 1910, the Italian venture into Tripoli in 1911, and World War I in 1914. During WWI, Francis applied to join the Royal Worcestershire Regiment and he was accepted on 25 November 1914, he would later transfer to the Royal Irish Fusiliers. Francis was commissioned as a lieutenant on 8 December 1914 but by March 1918, he resigned from the military due to poor health.
Francis was not one to settle in one place for every long, by 1923, he was expelled by the Soviet Government and he would recount his time during the Bolshevik Revolution in his book, The Bolshevik Persecution of Christianity, which was published a year later in 1924. Francis travelled around the world and eventually found himself in Mexico in 1927, during the anti-Catholic persecution. He wrote the book, Red Mexico: A Reign of Terror in America, which was published in 1928. In the summer of 1936, he travelled to Spain to write about the Spanish civil war. Later in 1937, he wrote the book In Franco's Spain: Being the Experiences of an Irish War Correspondent During the Great Civil War. After the war he moved to New York, USA, where he settled into a comfortable life.
On 25 November 1956, in White Plains, New York, Captain Francis McCullagh passed away at the age of 82.
In UPEI’s Provenance Collection, the book, The Bolshevik Persecution of Christianity, by Captain Francis McCullagh has an inscription addressed to Bishop Francis Kelley. Francis McCullagh Oklahoma City, Oklahoma July 6th 1927 “sleep after toyle, port after stormie seas, ease after warre, death after lifes, does greatly please” - And so does this stay in Bishop Kelley’s house after a month in Mexico.

Frank P. Geyer

Frank P. Geyer (1853-1918)
Frank was born in July 1853 in Philadelphia. He was the son of Reuben K. Geyer and Camilla Buck. Frank had an older sister, Anna, and a younger sister, Kate. A younger brother, William Henry Geyer, was born in 1856 but died before his first birthday.
On 9 March 1885, thirty-one year old Frank married Mary Elizabeth Billey at the Methodist Midtown Parish Church in Philadelphia. By this time Frank was already a Police Detective at the Philadelphia Police Department.
Frank became a renowned detective and in 1894 was assigned to investigate the notorious Holmes-Pitezel Case.
Herman Webster Mudgett, alias H.H. (Henry Howard) Holmes, was a notorious serial killer who built a hotel to accommodate people attending the 1893 World Fair in Chicago. The building was a mixed purpose building with street level shops and living accommodations on the upper floors. Holmes built the upper floors to be a place of torture. There were dead end hallways, hidden rooms with no doors (but traps in the floors), sliding doors, gas pipes, a sound-proof room with steel plating, and a body-sized dumping shoot that led to the basement. The basement held quick-lime vats, a large oven, and a dissecting table.
Eventually Holmes admitted to 27 counts of murder but many believe this is only a tiny portion of the real number.
By 1894, Holmes was on the run. On top of his many murders he was also a swindler and was a suspect of multiple counts of insurance fraud. Benjamin Pitezel was his fraud partner and together they concocted a plan to defraud the Fidelity Mutual Life Association of Philadelphia. In order to claim the full amount of insurance fraud for himself, and perhaps to silence a man who held many of his secrets, Holmes murdered Benjamin. It is uncertain if Benjamin had been aware of Holmes' murders, but he certainly was aware of his swindling nature on many accounts.
Holmes then confronted Benjamin’s wife, Carrie, and told her of their plan to cheat the insurance company. He did not mention Benjamin’s death, only the plan to “play dead” in order to receive the money. He convinced the unsuspecting Carrie to allow him to take her daughter Alice to “identify the body” so they could claim the money. In order to protect her husband, who was already knee deep into the scheme (or so she thought), she let Alice go. Once she received the money, Holmes returned and convinced her to hand over two more children so they could stay under the radar until things calmed down. At the same time he, unbeknownst to her, robbed her of a large chunk of the money she had received for the “fake" death of her husband. Unaware of the crime, she let her children, Howard and Nellie, go with Holmes. Still thinking her husband was alive, and promised by Holmes that they would reunite when things looked clear, she waited for instruction on where to go with her last two children, sixteen year old daughter Dessie and 18 month old son Horton.
Eventually, Holmes made his way to Indiana with the three children. There he murdered young Howard. His burned and dismembered body was found in Holmes' rental home in Irvington, Indiana. Afterwards he stopped in Detroit and then onwards to Canada where he killed Alice and Nellie and buried them in the basement of his rental home in Toronto, Canada.
Detective Frank Geyer meticulously tracked Holmes footsteps, and murders, and apprehended him near Boston, subsequently stopping Holmes from completing his plan to kill Carrie and her remaining two children. Mrs. Pitezel, Dessie and baby Horton had traveled there on Holmes' request, still hoping to meet up with Mr. Pitezel, who at this point had been dead for many months.
H.H. Holmes (Herman Webster Mudgett) was found guilty of four counts of murder and six counts of attempted murder, although he admitted to killing twenty-seven people. He was hung for murder in Philadelphia, at age 34, on 7 May 1896.
UPEI's copy of Frank’s book, Holmes-Pitezel Case: A History of the Greatest Crime of the Century and of the Search for the Missing Pitezel Children was signed by Frank to, H.J. Grasett, the Chief Constable in Toronto. Chief Constable Grasett is mentioned by name in Frank’s book on page 216, and it seems they got on very well:
“The chief [Grasett] assured me that his department would do everything in their power to assist me… Thanking the chief for his courtesy and attention, I returned with the inspector to the detective department, where my old friend Cuddy was assigned to help me in Toronto.”
In 1903, Frank retired from the Philadelphia Police Department and worked on his hobby as an inventor of door fasteners and safety locks. He also founded the Frank P. Geyer Detective Agency.
Frank and Mary had one child, Edna C. Geyer, born December 1886. She later married Orrie C. Strohm in 1908 and had 3 children, Elizabeth, Dorothy and Frank. Little Frank, named after his grandfather, was born on 19 May 1915, just three years before his grandfather died on 4 October 1918, as a result of the Spanish Flu epidemic.

Fred Lockley (1871-1958)
Fred Lockley Junior was born on 19 March 1871, in Leavenworth, Kansas, US, to parents Frederic Lockley Senior (1824-1905) and Elizabeth Metcalf Campbell. Fred was the oldest of five children, his younger siblings being, Maude, Margaret, Florence, and Edith. He also had three older half sisters Josephine, Louise, and Gertrude from his father’s first wife, Agnes Jeanette Hill.
Fred’s father was in the newspaper business for thirty years and gave him his first introduction as a carrier for the newspaper, Butte Inter-Mountain. The newspaper business left a huge impression on Fred, as he would later become known as the pioneer newspaperman of Oregon.
From 1889-1890, Fred attended the Oregon Agricultural College; he would also graduate with a degree in Education from Willamette University in 1895.
On 16 June 1897, Fred married Hope Louise Gans (1874-1927) in Marion, Oregon, US. They had three children together Frederic Llewellyn (1899-1899), Lawrence Campbell (1899-1969), and Hope (1915-1920).
Fred would move from job to job but always went back to newspapers. He was a field editor with the Pacific Homestead, where he was riding horseback over all over Oregon and learning about people and their histories. He also worked as an assistant to a government topographer; a mail carrier and clerk in the Salem post office and mined gold in Nome, AK, in 1900. He would also help establish the first free mail delivery in Alaska and work for the Alaskan newspaper, Nome Nugget.
In 1902, Fred and family moved to Pendleton, OR, where he part owned the East Oregonian. He would sell his share of the newspaper in 1906, and then move him and his family to Portland. In Portland, Fred became the manager of the Pacific Monthly magazine from 1905-1910, but would leave to join the Oregon Journal editorial staff. At the Oregon Journal, he wrote for the column, “Impressions and Observations of a Journal Man."
From 1917-1918, Fred was a war correspondent for three newspapers, the Oregon Journal, New York Herald, and the London Globe. He would file three hundred and forty seven war articles.
Sadly, on 25 March 1927, aged 53, Hope Louise Gans Lockley died of nervous shock after a surgical operation in the Portland Sanitarium. A good friend of Fred’s, Jennings F. Sutor, was a pallbearer at her funeral service on Monday 28 March 1927.
In 1930, Fred would remarry Laura Roberta Simpson, who was from Pennsylvania.
Fred authored many books, some of the titles include: Oregon Folks, Oregon's Yesterdays, Oregon Trail Blazers, Oregon Outdoors, Across the Plains by Prairie Schooner, Vigilante Days in Virginia City, and Vigilante Days in Carson City.
Fred Lockley Jr. died on 15 October 1958, in Portland, Oregon.
The UPEI Provenance collection has the book, “The Making of a Newspaper Man” by Samuel Blythe, which was gifted to him from the author “To Fred Lockley with the regard of its author Samuel G. Blythe” “Portland May 23 1914”.
Fred later gifted the book to Jennings Sutor during “Christmas 1948”. Inside Fred wrote, “To Jennings Sutor”
“To the kind of a friend who is always a friend - and in top of which he first last and all the time a real honest to goodness newspaper man who knows news as few others do, with the cordial regards and best wishes of his long term fellow worker Fred Lockley”.

Frederic Farrar (1831-1903)
Frederic William Farrar was born on 7 August 1831 in Fort of Bombay, India. His father was Charles Pinhorn Farrar, a Chaplain with the Church Missionary Society. His mother was Caroline Turner.
At the age of three, Frederic and his brother Henry, were sent to England to live with their two aunts in Aylesbury. They attended the local Latin school until their parents returned from India. At that point, when Frederic was eight the newly reunited family moved to the Isle of Man, where Eric and Henry attended King William's College. For the first three years the family remained together, but upon his parents return to India, Frederic and Henry boarded with the College's head master, Rev. Dr. Dixon and spent vacation time with their aunts, back in Aylesbury.
When his parents returned again from India in 1847, Frederic's father was commissioned at Clerkenwell, a parish in London, allowing Frederic to attended King's College, University of London. He graduated, with a Bachelor of Arts, in 1852.
In 1854 Frederic was ordained deacon by the Bishop of Salisbury. In the same year he became an assistant master at Marlborough College, a school for the education of the sons of Church of England Clergy, situated in Wiltshire. The following year he transferred to Harrow School in North West London, where he remained assistant master for fifteen years.
During his years at Harrow he began writing his first works of fiction, including Eric, or Little by Little, Julian Home, and St. Winifred's, or the World of School.
At the same time he was teaching, he was also attending Trinity College, Cambridge University. He graduated with a Masters of Arts in 1857, after winning numerous prizes and scholarships. That same year he was admitted to Holy Orders by the Bishop of Ely.
In 1871 Frederic returned to Marlborough College to become Head Master.
In 1874 he published his most famous work, The Life of Christ and two years later he accepted the post of Canon of Westminster and Rector of St. Margaret's. In 1883 he was appointed archdeacon of Westminster.
