 James E. Lockart Sr. 1922-1923 Brother Lockart was born in 1879
on Independence Day in San Antonio Texas. He came to Dallas in 1902 and
went to work for the firm of Dun and Bradstreet. In 1920, Bro. James set up his
own Insurance Firm. I don’t have the dates that he
was raised a Mason, but he was very active. He was a 32degree Scottish Rite
Mason, as well as belonging to The Texas Chapter, Knights Rose Croix. He was Honorary
Inspector General. Also he was a member of Hella Temple Shrine. Later in life he
was honored with the Scottish Rite 33rd degree. 1923, he was on the
“Credentials and Registration” committee for the Masonic Reunion
that year. Bro. Lockart and his family lived
at 3604 Linden Avenue in Highland Park. He was Married to Daisy Evens Lockart
and they had one son, James (Jimmy) E. Lockart Jr.
who later became well known
in the aeronautics industry. 1924, Bro James was elected to
the Highland Park City Councel an became the Mayor Protem. Also, he was one of
the organizers of the city of Highland Park. After a long illiness, on
November 26, 1947, Bro James Lockart
passed away. His services were held at the Ed.
C. Smith & Brothers Chaple at 1811 Ross ave. —Ross Avenue being rich in
Dallas history. Two of his pall bearers were HP
Past Masters; Dr. Harrison B. Cave, 1925-1926 and PM Roy F. Brown , 1929 –
