Ohio Biographical Sketches, 1876


Name: Hon. John Waterman Okey

Lawyer and Jurist, was born, January 3, 1827, at Woodsfield, Monroe county, Ohio, and is a son of Cornelius Okey, for a long time representative from that county in the General Assembly of the State; and his grandfather, Hon. Leven Okey, was one of the Associate Judges of the same county for many years.

He was educated at the Monroe Academy, and also received private instruction. Having selected the law for his future calling, after a due course of reading, he was admitted to the bar by the Supreme Court of Ohio, at Cambridge, on 22d October, 1849, and at once entered upon the practice of his profession. He was appointed Probate Judge of Monroe county in October, 1853, and was elected to the same office in October, 1854. Two years thereafter he was elected Judge of the Court of Common Pleas, and having held that position for the term of five years, was re-elected in October, 1861. In March, 1865, he removed to Cincinnati, where he now resides.

He assisted in the preparation of Gholson and Okey's Digest of Reports,
published in 1867, and in Okey and Miller's Municipal Law, issued in 1869.
He was appointed, March 27th, 1875, in connection with Hon. M. A. Dougherty and Judge Day, Commissioner to revise and codify the general laws of the State, on which work they are at present engaged (December, 1875). His political creed is that taught by the Democratic party.

He was married, March, 1849, to Miss Bloor, of Belmont county, Ohio.

Obituary for George Hazard Lucktenberg
http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/spartanburg/obituary.aspx?pid=172983127

SPARTANBURG, SC--George Lucktenberg passed away of natural causes on Sunday, October 26, 2014. George Lucktenberg's professional career spanned well over 60 years. He was born in Columbus, Ohio in 1930 to Kathryn and Dewey Lucktenberg.

Very much a self-made musician, he was the first in his family to graduate from college, receiving his doctorate from Florida State University.
Dr. Lucktenberg was on the front edge of the Historical Performance Practice movement and was renowned for bringing historical keyboard performances to the Southeastern United States in the 1960's. He was a recitalist with his wife Jerrie Cadek Lucktenberg, carting a remarkable collection of historical instruments to each venue to the delight of his audiences.

He performed nationally and internationally, from Vienna to Weill Hall in New York, to kindergarteners in the South Carolina public school system. A devoted teacher and enthusiast for his niche, he conducted a series of tours of European keyboard collections in the late 1970's. Publications and discography include Three Centuries of French Harpsichord Music, edited works by Handel and Haydn, Bach for Piano Ensemble, and a seminal book with Edward Kottick, Early Keyboard Instruments in European Museums (1997).

George had a longstanding affiliation with the Music Teachers' National Association. He founded the South Carolina MTA chapter in 1960 where he developed the bylaws and Constitution, and held the presidency for its first three years. In addition to his work with MTNA he was a founding member of the Southeastern Historical Keyboard Society (now the Historical Keyboard Society of North America) and was the first executive director of the Aliénor Harpsichord Composition Competition.

Dr. Lucktenberg served on the faculty at Converse College for 30 years and 52 summers on the faculty at the Interlochen Arts Camp. He joined Reinhardt University in 1995, bringing with him an extraordinary collection of instruments, from original historical keyboards to the 'Toscanini Steinway,' featured in performances with the NBC Symphony Orchestra. Dr. Lucktenberg retired at the age of 83 in 2013. His last public performance was February 17 of that year at Reinhardt's Falany Performing Arts Center.

George is predeceased by his brother, William Lucktenberg, and is survived by his sister-in-law, Jean Lucktenberg of Columbus, OH, and by children Judith Arrants (Bill) of Gatlinburg, TN, Kathryn Lucktenberg (Steven Pologe) of Eugene, OR, and Ted Lucktenberg (Karen) of Spartanburg, SC. He is also survived by five grandchildren, Kate Arrants Petrucci, John Arrants, Jonas Pologe, Stuart Lucktenberg and Hope Lucktenberg.

  About a conflict of birth date and birth location for Rex.  On the WWI Registration, Rex gives his birth date as Jul 11, 1878.  On his marriage certificate to Ethel Brill, he gives his birth location as Columbus, OH.  The conflict occurs on his death certificate where his step-mother is providing the information after his death.  She got the birth date and location wrong and did not even know his mother's name.  The death certificate IS NOT a reliable source of information in this case.

  1880 - Census - When I first looked for Trevitt in the 1880 Census, I could not find him.  When I saw the grave marker for Trevitt and Mame, I discovered that the couple had one other son, Graham.  Searching for a Graham Okey in the 1880 Census, there was only one.  Living in Columbus, OH was a Fred Okey with a son named Graham.  For some reason Trevitt's name was recorded as "Fred". Both the ages match exactly.  Mame was either staying with her family when the Census taker arrived or was visiting.
