Obituary: S. L. LOVELESS, Aged Pioneer, Dead - Succumbs After Protracted Illness. Prominent and Esteemed Former Supervisor From Bird Wednesday evening (Aug 2) at 8:40 Samuel L. LOVELESS died at his home on High Street, in this city, after a protracted illness, aged 72 years, 4 months and 8 days. His death was not unexpected, as he had been in ill health for some time. Mr. LOVELESS is one of the most prominent and substantial citizens of Macoupin County, a man of generous disposition, wide views, strong convictions, and a general knowledge, he had a host of friends and admirers throughout the county. He was born in East Tennessee, April 24, 1833 and came with his parents to this county when 8 years of age, his father having settled in Bird township, where he remained until he removed to this city some two years ago. December 14, 1854 he was united in marriage to Miss Elmira COMER, daughter of Aaron COMER. Seven children were born to them, all of whom survive save one who died in infancy. The widow also survives. They are: Aaron B., of Chesterfield; Arthur W., of Brushy Mound; Milo J., of Seattle, Washington; Hattie L., of Bird Township, wife of C. A. BATES; Mrs. H. W. COOMBS, late deceased, Mattie E., and Jennie L. LOVELESS. Mr. LOVELESS was always prominent in public affairs and for three terms represented his township on the board of supervisors. He was a member of the Baptist church and served as deacon for many years, always being an active member prominent in its councils. His death is much deplored by the large circle of admirers. His family has lost much and have the sympathy of all in their affliction. The funeral occurred from the late residence Saturday morning at 10:30, conducted by Rev. O. E. MOFFET and Rev. D. P. DEADRICK, and was largely attended showing in a small measure the estimation in which he was held. The interment was in the city cemetery.
