CHARLEY LOCKHART born in Dallas County, Texas

 in August 1876 to

John C. R. & Lucretia Lockhart.

They moved to Snyder, Texas

 in 1898. 

Lockhart was elected Scurry County treasurer in 1900. He was re-elected to the county office eight times. In 1919 he went to Austin to work with the sergeant-at-arms of the Texas House of Representatives.

In 1930 he was elected state treasurer. In 1931, Ripley's Believe It Or Not featured a drawing of Lockhart under the caption "Texas, the largest state in the Union, has the smallest treasurer, Charley Lockhart, 45 inches tall." The Houston Post interviewed Lockhart when he entered the race for the state treasurer's office, and he is quoted as saying, "I want you to make it perfectly clear that I am fighting this battle on manhood alone," he said. "I don't want the votes that are given me through a feeling that life has not handed me a square deal. Life has been good to me. I have filled public office, earned the confidence and friendship of my fellows and educated my children. . . . I'm simply a little man with big ideas and sufficient experience and ability to carry my ideas out..."

He resigned his office on October 24, 1941 and was replaced by his hand-picked Deputy Jesse James.  Lockhart died in 1954 and was buried in the Snyder Cemetery.

Approximate size of   letterhead is 8 1/2" X 11".
