Lockman, Isaac P. (1832-1884). Colonel by brevet; lieutenant colonel, 119th New York Infantry, Company K; first lieutenant. 83rd Infantry, New York, Company H. A native of New York City, 5' 7 ¼ “of fair complexion and hair with grey eves. he enlisted there as a sergeant on May 27, 1861, and mustered into the 83rd New York on that day. He was promoted to first lieutenant on November 27. 1861. The same month he contracted malaria and intermittent fever at Muddy Branch, Maryland, where his regiment was stationed to guard the Potomac Canal and the railroad between Harpers Ferry, Virginia, and the Monocacy River. He returned to New York City on leave for treatment. After recovering, he rejoined the regiment but suffered another bout of malaria in June 1862 and was discharged on June 24, 1862. After treatment and recovery at New York City he re-enlisted as a captain there on August 30, 1862. and was commissioned into “K” of the 119th New York the next month on September 10.
In June 1863. he again suffered intermittent fever and was treated at in, D.C., rejoining his regiment at Frederick City, Maryland, in July 1863. He rose to the rank of major on March 9. 1864, to colonel on May 15, 1864, but suffered recurrent illness and was transferred to Field and Staff ten days later at Warrenton, Virginias as a result of his inability to perform field duty. He again required treatment, catching up with his regiment in June at Kolb's Farm, Georgia. On June 7, 1865, he mustered out at Bladensburg, Maryland. He was brevetted to colonel of United States Volunteers on May 18, 1866, “for gallant and meritorious services." After the War, he resumed his work as a plate printer. He applied for an invalid pension in 1879. application 271,971, citing long term disability as a result of the malaria he contracted during the War. It was not granted. Despite his personal physicians' affidavits to the contrary, the Pension board’s examining physicians concluded his symptoms were syphilitic and not malarial, and disabilities "prolonged or aggravated by vicious habits" were not compensated. His case was hindered by the fact that no records from his regiment prior to April 1863 were on file. He repeatedly re-applied, citing increasing disability. In 1879 he enlisted the aid of his congressman, who sent a personal note to the Commissioner of Pensions, to no avail. In June 1880, a bill was introduced in Congress H.R. 5451 requesting that he be granted a pension. Apparently it did not pass, as in April 1884 another bill H.R. 6477 was introduced for the same purpose. However, at the time of his death listed as from phthisis, tuberculosis, in September, Lockman had still not received a pension. He last resided at 442 West 43rd Street in Manhattan. He was buried in section 13, lot 9198 at Green-wood Cemetery. Bio by Lenny Dodge (#47281999)
