Last: Saturday morning J. Milton Lovell, while on his way to the R.R.
station at this place by way of the lower road, white ascending Dorsey's hill,
fell dead. His body was discovered about 9:30 by E. T. Stewart who, accompanied
by Rev. Mr. Young, were returning from Kingtown. About half way down the hill
the body was discovered lying in the gutter along side the track. Mr. Stewart
alighted aind onexamination identified the body as that of Mr. Lovell. He was
lying with the head up hill on his left side, his coat was off and was partially
under the head and body. The right side of the body was covered with dust,
showing that it was upon this side he fell, rolling over into the position in
which he was found. On account of the heat he had undoubtedly removed his coat
and was carrying it over the left arm. Mr. Stewart, leaving Mr. Young on the
ground, drove rapidly up town for a physician. Dr. Carpenter went immediately
to the spot and on examination pronounced it a case of apoplexy, and death was
probably instantaneous.
Mr. Lovell had not been in 'goad health for some time suffering from chronic
indigestion and a weak heart, and his death was undoubtedly hastened by the walk
up the steep hill under a hot sun. Mr. Lovell was employed by Crossman Bro.,
Seedsmen, of Rochester, as a traveling salesman, and was to have started on a
five months trip next week. On this occasion he was going only to Farmer to
call on his brother-in-law, Mr. Bloomer.
It is said that on his way to the station he stopped to talk with Mr. Lloyd
Dorsey, whose residence is but a few rods down the hill from the place where the
body was found. This was the last time he was seen alive, and it could not have
been more than 30 to 40 minutes after this that his dead body was discovered.
The sad news was broken to his wife and 'daughter as gently as possible, but they
were nearly overcome by the shock.
Mr. Lovell was 60 years old, and a son of the late Eber Lovell. In
conection with his brother Hiram they succeded to the business of their father
at his death, and for several years were in the dry goods trade under the firm
name of E. Lovell's Sons. Subsequently Hiram retired and J. Milton continued
the business until within a few years. He leaves a iaidow and two daughters.
The funeral was held from the house Monday afternoon, J. Barton French
officiating. Interment in Grove Cemetery.

MERCY LOVELL DIES IN AUTOMOBILE UPSET --CHARITY WORKER GIVES LIFE TO
PREVENT RUNNING DOWN! LITTLE GIRL --PINNED UNDER WRECKAGE --
many Lockportians learned with sorrow last Saturday of the tragic death of Miss
Mercy R. Lovell, well known business woman and former candidate for city
treasurer, while on a charitable mission on the west side of the County. Miss
Lovell was killed at 3:30 o'clock Saturday afternoon when her automobile skidded
and overturned on the River Road near the Lewiston town line, pinning her
beneath the wreckage. Two boy scouts, Ralph and Roger Newton, 14 & 15 years
old, respectively, sons of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Newton of Niagara Street, who were
assisting Miss Lovell in the distribution of Ped Cross Christmas 'peal posters
miraculously escaped uninjured from the overturned car.
Coroner -Harry Eames of Niagara Falls issued a certificate of accidental
death from a fractured skull after taking statements from the two boys. The
body was removed to a Niagara Fails undertaking establishment and brought
Saturday night to the city where the funeral services will be held Tuesday
afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from the home of Miss Lovell's brother, Warren E.
Lovell, 190 Niagara Street.
The Rev. Jeffrey D. Livingstone of the First Baptist Church of which she
was a member will officiate, assisted by the Rev. G. A. Jameson of the Second
Presbyterian Church,.a neighbor. Burial will be in the Glenwood Cemetery.
Surviving are one brother and three sisters, Warren E. Lovell, a captain
in the local fire department, Mrs. Adolf Levi, Mrs. Ralph Goble and Miss Nellie
Lovell all of Lockport.
IN BUSINESS ;FIVE YEARS
55
Born in Lockport on June 29, 1872, the daughter of J. Byron Lovell and
Rosaltha Lovell, Miss Lovell, lived practically the fifty—five years of her life
in this community where she was widely known. She was educated in the public
schools and more than thirty years ago entered the employ of the late George
Batten, five years ago, Miss Lovell took over the business and had since
conducted his office at 27 Main Street.
Since women were granted equal sufferage, Miss Lovell -had been an active
member of the Democratic Party. In the last election she was the Democratic
candidate for city treasurer.
Probably Miss Lovell's greatest one interest was centered in the
activities of the Niagara County Wealth Association and its antituberculosis
crusade among little children. As a member of the Lockport committee of the
association she gave unstintedly of her time and effort in fostering the Niagara
Co. Preventorium in East High Street. In this respect she was recognized as the
most active member of the committee.
On Saturday morning she left home, 276 Niagara Street, intent on
distributing a large number of Christmas seal posters in connection with the
annual drive which opened on Thanksgiving Day. She was accompanied by the two
boy scouts who were to assist in distributing the posters. They had left North
Tonawanda, Niagara Falls and Lewiston and were all the way to Youngstown when
the fatal accident occurred at a slight curve in the River Road about one mile
below Stella Niagara,
DIED INSTANTLY
The first intimation the boys had of the impending tragedy was when the
automobile stewed sideways in the road and then turned turtle when the wheels
struck the softer earth on the shoulder of the road. They were tossed about in
the gyrating coach and when the machine came to a stop crawled out a rear
window, shaken but unscathed. Miss Lovell was pinned beneath the over turned
car and suffered a badly fractured skull. It is believed she diad instantly.
Deputy Sheriff Frank Johnson of Lewiston, called to the scene of the
accident immediately notified Sheriff James Alexander Campbell of this city and
Mr. Cambell broke the sad news to the relatives and memhers of the association
for which she was on a charity mission.
First accounts reaching the city failed to explain what caused the
automobile to skid and over turn but yesterday morning the brother visited the
scene of the crash where he learned that a little girl darting across the road
in front of the automobile caused Miss Lovell to apply the emergency brake. The
brakes were still on upon examination after the accident and one of the rear
wheels locked tightly. While the automobile was said to have been traveling at
a modest speed at the time, the locked wheel together with the slight curve
which the machine was rounding at the time is believed to have been sufficient
to throw the automoile out of control.

Warren (Barney) Ensign Lovell was educated in the Lockport Public schools
and as a young man enrolled in the Hydrant Hose Company, a volunteer fire
company in Lockport, N.Y. When the paid department was organized in 1905 he was
appointed a driver. As reported in the March 31, 1905 Lockport paper: °Daring
--Driver Climbed onto Runaway Horse --Fire Horse of Hydrants Became Unduly
Frightened." -- Bernard Lovell, driver of the Hydrant Hose Company, made a
daring stop of a runaway yesterday afternoon on Niagara Street, near the corner
of Church. Driver Lovell had the big horse attached to the regular wagon out
for exercising. Near Transit Street on Niagara the "S"connecting the reins and
bit broke and the horse became frightened. He grade a dash down the street madly
heading for a telephone_ pole. Lovell quickly sized up the situation, but
instead of jumping he daringly climbed out on the horse's back, via the shaft,
with the horse dashing along at break -neck speed he clung to the harness. When
it passed the pole Lovell's head grazed it by an inch. Spectators geld their
breath in amazement. He finally reached the horse's head and throwing one arm
around his neck reached down and grabbed the bit and with the bit forced the
animal to come to a stop. The almost reckless act was witnessed by many, among
them beings Lovell's fellow firemen of the Washington Hose Company, who
congratulated him for his daring. He was commended by several of the Fire
Commissioners last evening.
A few years later he resigned and moved to Montana. He returned to
Lockport and in 1916 was reappointed to the department where he remained until
retiring in January 1939 due to ill health.

the past three weeks.
Coronor W. C. Cobb was called and after an examination declared death due

Mrs. Blauvelt spent most of her life in Rochester until five years ago when
after the death of her husband, Albert Blauvelt, she lived for a part of each
year in Rochester, Elmira and Corning. She was a member of the Riverside

14.6 AGNES MAY LOVELL (Dau of Calvin Amos & Caroline May
(Gernhart) Lovell 13.12)
BORN: Sep 26, 1883, Phillips, Wisconsin.
DIED: Dec 139 1945, Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin.
BURIED: Dec 1945, Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin.
Agnes May, oldest child of Calvin & Caroline was born in a log cabin 12
miles east of Phillips by the Big Elk River. Her earliest childhood was happy.
One of her pleasant memories was sitting at Grandma Buck Lovell's licking the
cake batter bowl, when brother Carle looked through the window and she screamed
to make him go away. Also Grandfather Buck had made her a rocking chair, which
was later burned in the fire of her parents first cabin.
Agnes had dark eyes and heavy dark hair and rather dark complexion. She
was teased by her parents that she was so dark because a neighbor, Mrs Jackson,
a dark buxom woman had nursed her. Mrs. Jackson,whose baby was the same age as
Agnes, had heard Agnes crying, and said, "Give her to me. I'll feed her." And
she proceed to nurse Agnes until she was able to digest other foods. By the
time Agnes was 11 years old, she had to help care for four younger children. As
the number of babies increased the less time she was able to give to her studies
and school. So she quit school in the seventh grade.
At the age of 20 Agnes married John B. McRae. John made a good living for
his family in Phillips working as cook or carpenter for lumber people. Agnes
was very happy with John and her five children. Her first children, twin boys
were still—born.. Two other children, fairy Elizabeth and Mar -)in, were also
ttjin:.
In 1910 Agnes and John moved to Chippewa Falls as the lumber business was
stronger in Chippewa Falls than in Phillips. They had been in Chippewa Falls
only about a year when John became ill with pneumonia and died, leaving Agnes
with five children, one a baby girl one month old. John's death not only took
away physical support for Agnes and her children, but her love for him was so
deep it lasted all her life and she was able to instill in her children a
feeling of love and respect for their father though they never really knew him.
She often told them to remember, "You are just as good as anyone else, but no
better." She realized it was necessary for them to have a good feeling about
themselves as they were so very poor in material things.
Agnes worked hard, washing clothes with only a scrub board, boiler and
tubs. When the children were older, besides taking in washing, she went out to
clean other people's homes. They were often hungry, but Agnes never let them
know when she worried about the next meal. On one particular evening, she said,
"There is no food for tonight, so you children say your prayers and go to bed.
They weren't in bed long when she called them to come down and eat. The
Methodist women had hada church dinner and had brought the remaimimg food to
them.
69
Chippewa Falls had the nearest hospital to Phillips, so whenever one of
Agnes" family in Phillips needed hospital care that person would come to
Chippewa and stay with Agnes and her family. As most of her brothers worked in
the woods at Phillips and cut off fingers in the mill machinery they became
acquainted with their uncles as they arrived for hospital care. One summer her
sisters, Gladys and Myrtle needed hospital care, so they stayed all summer.
Grandpa Lovell helped however he could to pay the girls way. One early Fall
day, a large wooden trunk was delivered to their home. It was addressed to
Gladys from her father in Phillips. Such excitement --when Aunt Gladys opened
the trunk they discovered beautiful big blueberries! The family in Phillips had
picked the blueberries and shipped them an the train that morning early. What a
feast!

BORN: Oct 13, 1884, Worcester Twp., Price Co., Wisconsin.
DIED: Sep 1972, Duluth, Minnesota.
BURIED: Sep 1972, Duluth, Minnesota.
Was the second of 9 children born in a log cabin about 12 miles east of
Phillips, Wisconsin on the Big Elk River'. He wrote in some of his many letters,
"We had no horses, wagons or sleighs. The winter before he died, my grandfather
made a harness for the one tow that we had. He also made a wooden sled about 8
feet long out of small trees."' ::his is the store the winter after grandfather
died, "Dad had cut some wood abou-t 2 blocks from the log house. I thought then..'
that it was far. He brought some to the house but ,not all of it. He went
somewhere and was gone for::a,-Few,days. We ran out of wood, so mother harnessed
the cow and hitched her to -the wood sled and we went aft'er the wood. I was
driving the old cow with a clothes line reins. I was sitting on the front of
the sled. The cow just followed the trail in the snow but we got the wood back
home. I was about 5 years old at the time. It was about 80 years ago as I was
85 last Monday the 13th. The fall that I was 7 years old, I started school. At
noon each day I had to come home and take the cows to the river to get a drink
of water as we did not have a well on the homestead. We spent many hard years
on the homestead until I was able to go out and work." Carle told me (BBL) that
he had about 2 years of formal education in a school house. Another letter, "I
had to help cut wood when I was 8 and 9 years old. I started to work in the
logging camps when I was 15. Work all winter for $26.00 per month. Then back
to the homestead in the spring and more work." Another letter, "Last spring
when I was in Phillips, we drove out past the old house one afternoon. I was
sorry to see that it was grown up to trees and undergrowth. I had put in many
hard days of work clearing land, digging stumps and picking rocks. Planting
potatoes with aR grub hoe, mowing hay by hand. Dad was not very weli or strong;
was in the hospital one time for 6 months and I had to put up all of the hay and
70
other work. I was 14 and Mel was 10 and not very strong yet. He helped some.
Had to go without shoes most of the summer as there was no money to get shoes
with. Things were getting better when mother died After that things started
to slide." Carle left Phillips in 1906 and worked in the woods. In 1908 he was
rafting logs on Hood Canal out of Tacoma, Washington. He worked for 15 months
digging a mine tunnel near Kellogg, Idaho. He returned to Duluth, Minnesota and
stayed. Worked as a railroad Engineer on the Mesabi Iron Range, hauling ore to
the docks in Duluth. Was a stationary engineer when he retired at the age of
65. He then became a hod -carrier for his son and another bricklayer. He said
when he got to be 75 he couldn't keep up making "mud" and carrying bricks for
two masons so he retired, again!
Carle's son Robert (15.2) said his dad always had a story to tell. These
are some of them. "He said he used to hunt deer by "Belling them". He would
give his brother Melvin (14.9) a bell and have him follow a deer trail and be
ringing the bell. Then he would get ahead of the deer and meet him head on.
One day he shot a deer and his little brother, Melvin, ran over to the deer that
was laying down and grabbed the deer by the tail. The so-called dead deer
jumped up and started to run. Onetime when he was Grouse hunting with a 22
rife and a dog, he saw 13 Grouse in a tree. The dog started to bark and the
Grouse sat and watched the dog. He started shooting them one by one from the
lower branches first; he got all 13. Then he took them to Phillips and was paid
10 cents apiece for them. When Carle worked in the mine in Idaho, the fellows
all took turns as cook. The rule of the camp was that anyone that complained
about cooking would have to finish out the week as cook. So if one of the
fellows happened to end up with a half -raw potatoe on his plate he would say,
"These potatoes got bones in them, but thats the way I like them."
Carle's son, Carle (15.1), wrote the following story about his dad. "My
father did talk a lot about hunting. However, Bob and 1 thought he was
stretching it a little but learned first hand that it wasn't just talk with Dad.
The three of us, Bob, Dad and I, were driving out into the woods to go hunting
and Dad said, "Now don't hit them in the body, shoot them in the head,; As we
started up this old loging road talking away like the Lovell -s can talk, ,.when u-
popped a Grouse. it seemed far out and none of us were ready, so I thought i,e'd
lost that one when bambo...that single shot of Dads and down came the, Grouse.
Bob ran over as fast as he could to finish him off but came back witha grin on
his face like a rat going through a grainery; Dad had shot the head slick and
clean off. I recall Dad saying they killed a lot of Grouse, gutted them and
shipped them off to Chicago. Got 25 cents for each bird. They did the same
with deer for about $25.00 each. Hunters would comeupfrom the cities, Dad
said, and they would take them out for a tramp in the woods, tire them out and
then go back to the house and sell them a deer they had hanging up in the shed.
Never did show those hunters where the deer were. That was their entire source
of income except for what Dad made working in the logging camp. It took good
people to make a living this way and I'm proud of every one of them. I've never
bragged about my people like this before because no one would listen, but your
stuck ---Dad lived alone and when I found him, he had eaten his breakfast, washed
and put away the dishes, made up his bed, all his clothes were washed and no
laundry in the hamper, his current bilis were on his desk and the checks made
out for them so he could grab them when his friend, Tony, came in to pick him
up, (he even left the door ajar so Tony could walk right in), then he laid down
on the couch, crossed his arms on his chest and went to sleep. He looked so
peaceful, no strain on his face, just normal and happy ---He was a beautiful man,
my Dad.'

accidently shot and killed by her, brother** on Saturday. The way we understand
the accident is that they were out hunting and while he was loading the gun it
discharged, hitting her in the stomach, killing her almost instantly. Funeral
services were held at the Presbyterian Church on Tuesday at 1:00 o'clock."
