- MICHAEL M. LOCKERY, sheriff of Outagamie county, Wisconsin, and a well known business man of Appleton, where he has resided for about seventeen years, was born August 15, 1863, in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, son of Cornelius and Jane (Gardner) Lochery. Cornelius Lochery, who was a lumberman and contractor, came to Oshkosh from the state of Maine, and in 1876 moved his family to Bovina township, Outagamie county, where he bought and improved a farm, continuing to reside there until his death, January 5, 1899. His widow still survives, making her home in Appleton. She is a faithful member of the Catholic Church, and has been the mother of eight children: Mary, who married H. H. Muller; Mrs. L. A. Blackman of Lewiston, Idaho; James E., a resident of Minnesota; Michael M.; Cornelius, of Oshkosh; William, twin of Cornelius, a resident of Appleton; Mrs. Harry Ames, residing in Appleton; and Mrs. George Ames, of Lewiston, Idaho. Michael M. Lockery received a public school education in Bovina township, and remained on the home farm until he reached the age of seventeen years, when he started in river driving and lumbering, which kept him occupied during the next fourteen years and gave him a strong frame and vigorous constitution. After leaving the river, Mr. Lockery opened a hotel and livery at Shiocton, where he continued in business for three years, after which he came to Appleton and engaged in a livery business, this being in 1894. After six years he sold his livery to engage in the real estate business, in which he has continued to the present time, and he also for five years was closely identified with the furniture trade. He also owns an excellent farming property in Outagamnie county. Mr. Lockery has always been prominent in democratic politics, and for four years he served as alderman. In 1906 he was, given the democratic nomination for sheriff of Outagamie county, and was elected by a majority of 968 votes, and in 1910, when again nominated, polled 1,362 more votes than his republican opponent. Sheriff Lockery's career as an official has been as clean as that as a private citizen; and many of the qualities that made his business enterprises prosper have been brought into play to make his public affairs successful. Fraternally, he is connected with the Eagles, the Elks, the Odd Fellows and the Order of the Moose.
On April 16, 1891, Sheriff Lockery was united in marriage with Alvina Lock, daughter of William and Eliza (Swerge) Lock, of Outagamie county, and two children have been born to this union: Ralph and Ethel.
