| Lockett, John William (1840-1911): Letter concerning Christina "Tina" Shiverdecker (1862-1935) The Strawberry Letter from T.A. Caveniss of Ursa, MO, was written May 1, 1897, to John William Lockett about having John’s niece Christina "Tina" Shiverdecker Kinder come to pick strawberries for him. Originally, this caption read that the letter was sent to John William Lockett’s father (John Owen Lockett, b. abt. 1799), but a descendant of John Owen Lockett’s (Steve) states that he has found no death date for or evidence that John Owen Lockett ever moved to MO. John Owen Lockett would have been about 98 years old when this letter was sent. It makes sense that this letter was sent to John William Lockett. The letter came from Glen W. Kinder.
