Ohio Genealogist, Barbara Simmons, has donated a photo of who she suspects is her ancester, Lock ERICKSON (1846-1892)

[Lock Erickson] came to the US in 1870 from Vastra Gotaland, Sweden, was naturalized in Crawford County in 1873, married Mary Anna Neumann there in 1874, and continued to live in Crawford County (Galion) until 1889.  He died in Morrow County in 1892 after being kicked in the head by a plow-horse, and is buried in Fairview Cemetery in Galion.

Believe this to be a young Lock Erickson. He looks more like an Erickson than a Neumann, we believe. – from Barbara S Simmons
