"DEWITT B. COLE, who for the last fifteen years has been successfully engaged in the hotel business in Arkville, was born November 1, 1857, in Middletown, Delaware County, N.Y. His parents were Solomon and Emeline [Gray] Cole, the former of whom was the son Thomas Cole, a farmer and lumberman who came from Connecticut when a young man, accompanied by his wife, Jerusha Jenkins, a worthy helpmeet. This couple became the parents of seven children, by name; Betsy, who became the wife of George Osterhoudt; Solomon, who became the father of the subject of this sketch; Mary, who married Ephraim Isham; Emeline, who was united in marriage to _______ Robinson; John; Harrison, who left his native place to seek his fortunes in the West; and William H. The father, who was a good example of the sturdy pioneer class, and was a man much respected, died at the age of eighty-six. His wife Survived to the remarkable age of ninety-nine, an illustration of the advantage of plain living and simple tastes.

Solomon Cole, the next in line, was born in Middletown, and became accustomed to farm life and work at an early age. When a young man, he purchased a farm of two hundred acres near Griffin's Corners, and occupied himself in tilling the soil. He married Emeline Boughton, daughter of David Boughton, a farmer and an early settler in the town of Roxbury. In 1861 Solomon Cole sold his farm and moved to Roxbury. One year later he moved to Margarettville, and still later to Arkville, where he bought the hotel of Griffin & Crespill, and engaged in its management until his death at the age of fifty-eight. He was a prominent figure in his locality, a man of square dealing, and a starch Republician in political faith. He was the father of seven children, named as follows; Abraham, who married Olive Meeker for his first wife, was later united to Emma Keater, and is now deceased; Charles, who chose for his wife Emma Kittle, now resides in Binghamton, N.Y., and has one child; Edward, resident in New York City, who married Trudie Emmett, and has two children; Rena, who became the wife of Charles Still, an engineer, and resides in Arkville; James M., the eldest, married, but now deceased; Emma Halstead, who is married, resides in Jersey City Heights, and has one child; and Dewitt, whose name claims attention at the head of this sketch.

Dewitt B. cole attended the public schools of his native town in early youth, and assimilated a fair amount of practical knowledge, which he has since supplemented by observation and experience in the affairs of every-day life. Taking his father's hotel at the age of twenty-two, he applied himself to the task of managership with the determination to make his hostelry known far and wide as a place of comfort for man and beast. In this he has been singularly successful, and his present standing in the community is due to his own good judgement and far-sighted business policy. His hotel is situated opposite the depot, an advantageous location, as it is thus its own advertisement.

Mr. Cole is a married man, as all hotel-keepers should be. His wife was, by maiden name, Pevila Hasbrook. Her parents were Barney L. and Rosa [Hubbard] Hasbrook, the former of whom is the leading merchant in Clovesville, N.Y. Mr and Mrs. Cole have one child, Beulah, born April 10, 1893. Although known so well as a genial host, Mr. Cole's duties and responsibilities in life are not confined to his hotel business. He is so well liked by his fellow-townsmen that they have chosen him to serve as Collector and Deputy Sheriff, both of which responsible positions he has well filled. His politics are Republician; and, when the interests of his locality or the country at large are to be served, he is not to be found among the stay-at-homes. Of a social nature, he belongs to Margarettville Lodge, No. 389, A.F.& A.M., and is also a member of the order of Knights of Pythias. His popularity is unquestioned, and he is properly assigned a place among the substantial residents of his county."
DeWitt was born at Middletown Twp, Delaware Co, New York, USA, on 1 November 1857.^1,2 He resided at Arkville, Delaware, New York, USA, in 1880. At least this long but perhaps longer.. He married Pevila (Cerilla) (Villia) Hasbrouck (Hasbrook) circa 1892.^3,1

     Pevila was born in 1868.¹ She married DeWitt B Cole circa 1892.^2,3

     She married Richard Blair Lockwood.

     She married Richard Blair Lockwood.

     She married Bruce William Lockwood.

     She married Bruce William Lockwood.

     He married Barbara Ann Lockwood.

     William L Lockwood See Jacob Lockwood for 1860 and 1880 census listings, where William is still living with his father's family at age 8 and 27, respectively, in Middletown, Delaware Co, NY.

William was born at New York, USA, in March 1852.^2,3,1 He married Mary F Slack circa 1884.⁴ William was listed as the head of a family on the in 1900 Census at Middletown Twp, Delaware Co, New York, USA.¹ In Mary Ann Kelly's will, William was named by Mary to handle her estate on 16 January 1901 at Middletown, Delaware, New York, USA.⁵ William was the executor of Mary Ann Kelly's estate at Stamford, Delaware, New York, USA, on 13 November 1909.⁶ William died in 1922 at Margaretville, Delaware, New York, USA.⁷

     Mary F Slack US Census, 1930, Oneonta Twp, Otsego Co, NY, ED 21, roll 1636, p 15B, dwelling 379, family 448, address 48 Spence:

Lockwood, Mary F Head O 6000 F W 65 Wd NY NY NY
" Norman Grand Son M W 14 S NY NY NY
Myers, Sarah C Sister F W 70 Wd NY NY NY housework, private family

This might be Mary F (Slack) Lockwood b Oct 1863. If so, it is not known which son is Norman's father. But see the argument at Floyd Lockwood that suggests Norman is his son by his first wife.

Lin Houston posting, Lockwood family forum, genforum.genealogy.com, 24 Aug 1999:

"my gg.grand mother was Mary Ann married a Jacob Lockwood. We have acquired some old pictures of family whom we do not know..one is of Mary F. Slack Lockwood born Arena NY 10/6/1853 married a William F. Lockwood d. in 1922 in Margaretville NY they had two sons Scott and Floyd"

It is not clear whether it was William or Mary who d 1922. I believe it was William since I believe Mary was alive in the 1930 census. Mary was born at Arena, NY, on 6 October 1863.² She married William L Lockwood circa 1884.³ She resided at Oneonta, NY, in 1930.¹

     Floyd L Lockwood US Census, 1920, Oneonta City, Otsego Co, NY, ED 209, roll 1255, p 11, dwelling 253, family 285, address 10 Railroad Avenue:

US Census, 1930, Oneonta Twp, Otsego Co, NY, ED 37, roll 1636, p 8A, dwelling 221, family 232, address 15 Pleasant Ave:

Lockwood, Floyd Head 4,800 M W 36 M 21 NY NY NY laborer, Lumber Co;

Raymond Son M W 12 S NY NY NY;
George Son M W 10 S NY NY NY;
Floyd Son M W 6 S NY NY NY;

If these are the same Floyd then his first wife Hilda died after having two sons [Normdie or Worindie?] b c 1915 and Raymond L b c 1918. Then Floyd would have married 2 Bertha and had sons George b c 1920 and Floyd b c 1924 with her. Bertha would have had Robert by her first husband who might have been Mr. Wing. Floyd married 1 abt 1915. Bertha married 1 abt 1907. By this theory, Hilda would have died abt 1919 when Floyd would have married 2 Bertha. The only child not accounted for in 1930 is [Normdie or Worindie?] (difficult to read in the census). But there is a Norman Lockwood of the right age (14) in the 1930 Otsego Co census living with Mary F Lockwood who might be his grandmother.

In further support of this theory is the 1920 US Census, New Lisbon Town, Otsego Co, NY, ED 207, roll 1255, p 2A, dwelling 43, family 44, family of John S Davis:
