Dr. Clarence W. Locke, 4th great-grandson of William Locke of Woburn, was a doctor in Saxtons River and later in Springfield, Vermont. In 1905 he had the distinction of owning one of only 379 automobiles registered in Vermont under a new state law.
Pictured are the first and second automobiles so registered. His was probably on a house call.
