LOCKERBY, ELIZABETH NEWELL (Bacon), poetess; b. 12 Sept. 1831 at Cavendis h, Queens County, P.E.I.

Elizabeth Lockerby’s reputation as a writer rests on two publications: a book of poems, The wild brier: or, lays by an untaught minstrel (Charlottetown, 1866), and a collection of poetry and prose, Oak leaves (Halifax, 1869). In 1866 Elizabeth Lockerby published, probably at her own expense, a volume of poetry which evidence suggests she then sold door-to-door in Charlottetown. (Some history, borrowed from another)
