Adria Locke Langley
Locke was born in Iowa, 1899, as the youngest of three children. When she was young her family moved to Stanton, Nebraska and that is where she grew up. Her father William Locke, was president of the Omaha livestock market and a Quaker. He had certain ideas of what a woman should be. Because of this Adria's grandfather, Thomas Glendenning, took over in teaching her what would later be a great social consciousness.
Elijah Locke House
Captain John Locke was one of the earliest settlers of New Hampshire, arriving in 1644. This house was built either by his son William in 1729, or his grandson Elijah in 1739; the latter date is found incised on one of the original roof beams. John Locke was killed by Native Americans in 1696; William was a shopkeeper in Portsmouth. The house has spent many years in (and out of) ownership by Locke's descendants.
