Mrs. LOVE was a member of the Methodist church since its beginning in Steamboat Springs and took an active part in all its work until she moved to Denver about four years ago. She always retained her membership here.

All of her children survive and are Harry A. LOVE, Tarkio, Missouri; Mrs. Eleanor HAMPTON, Eugene, Oregon; Mrs. Clara CAMPBELL, Mrs. Alice HESSLER and Mrs. Margaret McDONALD, all of Denver. Seven grandchildren and two great grandchildren also survive.
