Hello, sorry this took so long, very busy time of the year... :)
The information that I would love to see is more about how you are connected to Rev. Jacob Locke. If you like you can post here or send to rongin@sbcglobal.net
Any information that you would care to share would be great.

MEMORIAL SERVICE FOR REV. JACOB LOCKE By Florence Edwards Gardiner (her father was Cyrus Edwards )
My father's article, "The Neglected Grave of a Great Man" attracted much attention, and some friends and relatives set to work to remedy the condition.
On Saturday, October 6, 1934, exercises were held in Glasgow honoring the Rev. Jacob Locke. The remains of himself and his wife had been removed from the place my father described, and had been place on the lot of the late Rev. Nat G. Terry in the Glasgow Cemetery, in accordance with the wishes of the late Terry's relations.
Rev. Terry had been a worthy successor of Rev. Locke; his ministry immediately followed that of Locke and was largely in the same region.
On this occasion an appropriate program was given, followed by the unveiling of the marker. On this occasion the principal speaker, and eminent minister of the Baptist Church, quoted extensively from my father's article. As a result of the article the grave of the Rev. Jacob Locke is not longer neglected.
