Lexington Intelligencer, February 25, 1911 Death of H.C. Lovell Henry C. Lovell, whose death was briefly announced in this paper last week, was born November 21, 1875, near Ipava, Ill., died at his home in this city February 8, 1911, at 9:25 o'clock, aged 75 years, 2 months and 17 days.

On April 14, 1864, Mr. Lovell was married to Miss Virginia McCartney. Shortly after their marriage they came to this state and settled on a farm in Lafayette county, where they lived 11 years. Later they lived in Lexington, but in 1887, they came to Carrollton, and continued to reside here until his death. After coming to Carrollton Mr. Lovell engaged in the oil business, and during all these years his figure has been a familiar one to all our citizens, as he made the rounds of the town on his oil wagon, winter and summer. Mr. Lovell has not been in the best of health for more than a year, but it was only a few weeks ago that he was taken seriously ill. He was seized with la grippe and pneumonia soon developed. It soon became apparent that he had a hard fight to make if he survived and trained nurses were secured and he was given the best of medical attention, but the ravages of the disease, together with his advanced years was more than the frail body could stand, and last Wednesday night he quietly passed away. He is survived by three sons, F.E., and Dr. J.A., of Carrollton, and John, of New Orleans, La. Deceased as a good type of citizen, and bore the respect and esteem of the entire community. He was known to all our people and was liked by everybody. The community has lost a good man, whose place will be hard to fill. The funeral was held Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock, at the family residence on West Benton street, conducted by Elder G.L. Bush, of the Christian church, after which the remains were taken to the Oak Hill cemetery for interment.--Ex.
