Parents:

•  John Lufsy LOCKETT * Elizabeth BRAZEL

*These two children are buried side by side and it states on the tombstone that they were brothers. I am connecting them to this family because they seem to be too young to be part of Abner and Carrie's family and too old to be part of Bettis and Vivian's family. Since Albert and Rhoda married in 1901, they seem to be the most probable parents.
