Log Cabin Democrat, Conway Arkansas, March 25, 1926

The rapidly thinning ranks of the Southern Confederacy were furthur depleted today, when Willam A. Loveless, 83, hero of the war between the states and pioneer citizen of Faulkner county, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. W.W. Bishop and Mr. Bishop, 501 Davis street, His death occured at 7:15 this morning following a short illness of influenza.

Enlisting in a Georgia regiment at the outbreak of the civil war, Mr. Loveless throughout the four years of that stuggle served in the Confederate army. He participated in several of the major engagements, serving with the army of General Lee in several campaigns, and was wounded at the battle of Manassas.
He was born at Somerville, GA., October 23, 1842. Shortly after his discharge at the end of the war he moved to Arkansas and settled in the Pleasant Valley community, six miles north of Conway, where he lived until 1907, when he moved to Conway to make his home with his daughter.

He was married to Matilda Davenport, daughter of another pioneer family, who died July 4, 1901. He was a charter member of Green Grove Lodge No. 107, Free and Accepted Masons, when that lodge was instituted several years before Conway was founded, near the home of the late B.B. King, on Cadron creek, the lodge afterwards moved to Conway. He was also a member of the Baptist church.

During his long residence in this county Mr. Loveless was held in the highest esteem by many friends and his passing is deeply regretted.

Surviving him are two daughters, Mrs. Bishop and Mrs. S. V. Glenn, both of Conway.

Funeral services will be held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bishop Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The burial will be in Pleasant Valley Cemetery following the services.
