wonderful trait of making
friends easily and one who al
ways looked on the best side of
life, having word Of cheer for
everyone who appeared to be in
trouble or melancholy. He was a
man among men and this state
ment we make with all sincerity
for it has been a real pleasure
for us to know him since resid-
ing in the county.
Mr.. Lovelace was born during
the month of September, 1859
in Sedalie, Mo. He is survived
by three daughters and three
sons, namely: Mrs. William For
