Lockwood resigned from the unit <2nd Ohio Cavalry> 6/1/62 and two months later joined the 105th Ohio Volunteer Infantry, enlisting 8/10/62 and mustering in as First Sergeant of Co. D on 8/21/62.

The regiment had been organized in Cleveland, and served in the Army of Ohio and Army of Cumberland, spending most of its time from November 1862 in the 14th Corps. Mustering in for three years on Aug. 20 and 21, 1862, it was immediately posted to Louisville, Kentucky, from where it moved to Perryville in October, losing in the battle 48 killed and 217 wounded, some mortally. It then moved into Tennessee and took part in the Tullahoma Campaign. At Chickamauga it lost 80 men killed and wounded, and was at Chattanooga, took part in Missionary Ridge and the Atlanta Campaign, followed by the March to the Sea and the Campaign of the Carolinas. It mustered out in Washington 3 June 1865.

Signing up as a First Sergeant was a step down in rank, but Lockwood may have been promised promotion and was, in fact, made 2nd Lt. of Co. D on 1/15/1863 and then 1st Lt. of Co. K on 5/12/63, though not before being wounded in the cheek while still a first sergeant at the Battle of Perryville 10/8/62. He was promoted 6/8/64, to Regimental Quartermaster (also a first lieutenant by rank,) likely because of his clerical and business background. His date of discharge is unclear from published records and we have not yet pulled the muster rolls, but he was with the regiment through the fall of Atlanta. He is mentioned in the regimental history as heading home on 9/27/64, but in the context of furloughs and leaves of absence granted after Atlanta, and the Register of Volunteer Forces includes him on the “roster of officers as it stood on the day of muster out.” The reason for a leave of absence was likely to get married, which he did on 10/13/64. Since leaves were customarily thirty days, this would have gotten him back to the regiment in time for the March to the Sea and the Campaign of the Carolinas, which would have kept a quartermaster rather busy.

Lockwood returned to Painesville and in 1870 is listed as a dealer in boots and shoes. His photograph was taken by a San Francisco firm likely between 1874 and 1878, but he was back in Ohio and sick by 1880, when he is a patient in the Cleveland Asylum with paresis, and where he dies of paralysis in 1884. His wife lived until 1914 and remarried, but chose to be buried beside him.
