WILLIAM H. LOVELY
William Henry Lovely, son of William Henry and Mary Rowena Lincoln Lovely, was born Sept. 28, 1852, at the home of his grandmother, Frances Day Lincoln and here in the old home, his earthly struggles ended Friday morning, July 16.
One brother, John, a sister Frances, and his father died before his birth. He lived at the old Lincoln home until he was nine years of age when his mother married Charles Bowman of Tennessee, Ill. He lived with his mother and step-father until he was sixteen years old, then returned to the old home to live with his grandmother and aunt, Emma Lincoln, assuming the management of the old farm. More than sixty-nine years of his life were spent here at his birthplace.
On October 17, 1876, he was married to Amanda Elizabeth Burrow. Six children were born to this union, five of whom are living: Mrs. H. H. Taylor and Orien Lovely of Carthage, Ill., Mrs. Justin A. Stewart, of Cuba, Ill., Claude D. and Berenice V. Lovely at home. One daughter, Mertie, Mrs. Frank Conn, died in 1913. Three grandchildren, Donald Lovely Stewart of Rock Island, Ill., and Lowell and Wayne Lovely of Carthage, Ill.; a half-brother, Thomas Bowman of White Sulphur Springs, Mont., and half-sister, Mrs. George Scheifley of Tennessee, Ill., will mourn his passing from this life.
A long and useful lifetime spent in the one community drew a wide circle of loyal friends and acquaintances to Mr. Lovely, for the guiding principle of his life was sincerity and honesty in all his associations. In sickness and sorrow, he was always ready and quick to lend a helping hand. He served many years as a school director, always trying to maintain the best schools possible.
His obligations to his home and family were sacred to Mr. Lovely and he had little patience with those who regarded these obligations lightly.
Mr. Lovely was interested in national and world affairs as well as local ones and enjoyed reading and discussing current events. Almost to the very last of his life, he watched the trend of political and civic measures eagerly waiting for the daily mail. He was a lover of music and after he was unable to play himself enjoyed listening to the production of artists.
His children will remember him as a kind and just father and the wife will cherish the memory of a loyal and devoted companionship.
Funeral was in charge of undertaker Williams and was held at the Majorville church on Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock, conducted by Rev. H. M. Bloomer, who soke so nicely of old friends, friendships, home and home building, pioneers and their work in a community.
The song, "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere," "Only Remembered by What We Have Done," and "When the Evening Shadows Gather," were beautifully rendered by a quartette composed of the Hulson brothers, D. Era Neece and Mrs. Dickerson, with Mrs. Hulson at the piano.
Casket bearers were Orval White, Frank Peck, Harley Parker, Alph Prentice, Guy Garrison and Alfred Huston.
Many beautiful pieces of flowers completely covered the newly made grave in Majorville cemetery.
