Spirits to be Portrayed
Richard G. Head (1847-1906)
Following the Civil War, Texas found itself in a serious economic situation. It was soon determined that the cattle industry in Texas would be its salvation. Cattlemen began herding together thousands of wild Texas cattle to be driven northward to the railroads and shipped off to the northeast where they could be sold for a large profit. Richard Head was one of these Texas trail drivers. Head will be portrayed by Ray Chandler.
Edward B. Coopwood (1863-1952)
Edward Coopwood was a very prominent lawyer and banker here in Lockhart. He came to Texas in the latter part of the 19th century and became active in all the civic organizations of the community. He was also an active part of the early Lockhart Volunteer Fire Department. He will tell us a little about what his life was like back then. Coopwood will be portrayed by Wayne Walther.
Corinne C. Deviney (1901-1999)
During the early 1900s a woman’s life was quite different from that of today. Women’s roles in society primarily centered around the family and home. However, Corinne Deviney was her own person and did not fit the image of what was expected of an early 20th century woman. Deviney will be portrayed by Mary Lowrance.
Milton S. Wilson (1923-1941)
We have many military veterans buried here in the Lockhart Cemetery. Some of these men and women died during the war and many came home to lead productive lives for many years. Milton Wilson was a young man who enlisted in the Navy but served for only a short time before his death. Wilson will be portrayed by Todd Blomerth.
Blanche Lohman (1891-1987)
Most towns are known for having their “colorful” and “unforgettable” characters in their communities. Blanche Lohman came to Lockhart before she was a year old. She grew up as a prominent merchant and became one of the most beloved citizens in town. She lived a long and exciting life. Her love of people and her hometown, along with her outgoing personality, made her a most remarkable and memorable character. Lohman will be portrayed by Carol Ohlendorf.
Leonidas M. Camp (1832-1926) and May Camp (1872-1961)
Leonidas M. Camp served in the Civil War from Mississippi. He survived many of the bloodiest battles fought in that war and later moved west and settled here in Lockhart. He will tell us about the campaigns in which he fought. Buried next to Mr. Camp is one of his daughters who became one of the most well-known citizens of Lockhart. May Camp was a quiet young woman who became the librarian for the Dr. Eugene Clark Library. She served in that position for a longer period than any other librarian in Lockhart. She was responsible for promoting education and culture through her job that extended through World War I, the Great Depression and much of World War II. Leonidas will be portrayed by Ray Sanders and May will be portrayed by Julie Ohlendorf.

Concert Series Presented by Keeled Scales at Chaparal Coffee
2019-10-12 19:30 - 23:00
Jordan Moser & Sarah Reyes will swoon us with their musical talents.
Read what Austin Chronicle said about the new album by Jordan Moser :

Following a decade of ballet performance and recording music, Jordan Moser turns a fresh leaf on his local Keeled Scales debut. The carefully curated collection of country folk slides open softly on the steel guitar-shaped “Down With Me.” Rich hums separate Moser’s literary lines, echoed by the smoky tone of Austin’s Molly Burch on all eight tracks, including a feature for final Western duet “Road to Trouble.” Pointed instrumentation and Dailey Toliver’s swooping guitar curves make the album agreeable for Burch fans, darkened with a dense tangle of lovesick reflections. “The Devil” prays wearily to the eternal challenge of romance (“Oh Devil, let us sleep like we used to”), followed by the title track’s warning: “It’s gonna be a long, long night.” That sentiment comes to a head on “Love Is Gonna Test You,” foiling bright beats over placement in “a wilderness of the soul.” The writings of a witty, well-traveled skeptic, Moser’s songs slip out like sighs. Sometimes the breaths are resigned, but others mark entrance of a new beginning.

About Simon Joyner
Simon Joyner is a renowned American singer-songwriter who first came
to prominence during the Lo-Fi movement of the early 90’s alongside
contemporaries mining similar territory like Will Oldham, Peter
Jefferies, the Mountain Goats, and Bill Callahan. Joyner
was championed early by the late British DJ, John Peel, who famously
played Joyner’s 1994 LP, “The Cowardly Traveller Pays His Toll”, start
to finish on one of his BBC programs, initially making Joyner more
well known overseas than in his own country. He is often referred to as one
of the forefathers of the Omaha music scene.
Following the mercurial path of heroes like Neil Young and Bob Dylan,
Joyner has been releasing literate and challenging albums
since the release of his first album, Room Temperature, in 1993. His
discography includes twenty-three full-length recordings, as well as numerous
singles and guest appearances. A book of his lyrics was released in
2016 under the title “Only Love Can Bring You Peace: Selected Lyrics
(1990-2014).” He tours the United States and Europe semi-regularly and
is the co-owner of the Grapefruit Records label.
