| <tab>In a story redolent of the Depression years, an elderly man from Ashton, near Ottawa, who had travelled all the way to Dr Locke’s clinic by horse and buggy, stated that “The old horse and buggy are fast enough for me.” (//Standard Freeholder// 26 April 1933) In 1937, Wilson MacDonald the poet and his wife were staying at the Cornwallis Hotel in Cornwall while he was being treated at Dr Locke’s clinic. (//SFH// 12 May 1937) The obituary of Edward A. Sabourin, Cornwall taxi driver and former GC cheesemaker, recalled that he “moved to Williamsburg in the boom days of Dr. M. W. Locke and conducted the Pine View Inn for five years.” (//SFH// 5 Aug. 1943) | <tab>In a story redolent of the Depression years, an elderly man from Ashton, near Ottawa, who had travelled all the way to Dr Locke’s clinic by horse and buggy, stated that “The old horse and buggy are fast enough for me.” (//Standard Freeholder// 26 April 1933) In 1937, Wilson MacDonald the poet and his wife were staying at the Cornwallis Hotel in Cornwall while he was being treated at Dr Locke’s clinic.

| <tab>Dr Locke’s fame was sinking fast in his final few years, when the beginning of WWII and the virtual end of the Depression had created a new mental atmosphere. And after his death, forgotten now by the public, he was left to the historians. But perhaps now, with greater consciousness of the tourist trade, things are changing. A mural depicting Dr Locke was unveiled at Williamsburg, 2001. (//SFH// 27 Sept. 2001) And his name reappears, as for example in the recent advertisement for the sale by auction of the contents of a Morrisburg “tourist home established in the years of the famous Dr. Locke.” (//Glengarry News// 23 Nov. 2005) He has a life in the //MacMillan Dictionary of Canadian Biography//, but, amazingly, he lacks an entry in the //Canadian Encyclopedia//! His medical degree (1904) was from Queen’s University. See the present dictionary for Mrs Elizabeth Bethune Kiely. | <tab>Dr Locke’s fame was sinking fast in his final few years, when the beginning of WWII and the virtual end of the Depression had created a new mental atmosphere.
