His father was Joel Newton Crain, who was born in McGregor, McLennan, Texas, and his mother was Nettie Alexander Crain, who was born in Belton, Bell, Texas. His brother, Hubert William Crain, was 4 years older. He had two sisters, Myrtle and Edith Ethel, who died before Lovell was born. Myrtle died in 1902 in a diphtheria epidemic at the age of 4 and is buried at Harris Creek Cemetery. Edith Ethel died on 10 November 1907, 15 days after being accidentally burned. She is buried in an unmarked grave in Flagstaff, Arizona, where she passed away during a visit by Nettie to her sister, Sarah Alexander Manning. The Crains never had the money to move Edith Ethel's body to the family plot at Harris Creek Cemetery or to erect a monument at her grave in Flagstaff.
