It was with a light heart that Mrs. Loveless went about doing her daily work, day by day caring for her family. It was one of her highest aims in life to make those around her happy and feel cheerful, it was only a pleasure to her when Harlie and Wilbur were called to defend this great universe of ours. The honorable discharge that those boys returned home with brought her great joy. While it may be true that she was not a great church worker in the eyes of the people, it is true that she spent a great deal of her time with her own Sunday School class at their home.
Mrs. Loveles was loved by all who knew her, and since her death in the home, so many people have come to help the family who has lost a loving one, as she was a friend to everyone.
