Brinton Lovelace, son of Hiram and Harriett Lovelace, was born in Harrisburg, Pa., Nov. 24, 1841 and died at his home in Dallas, Ore., Nov. 21, 1919, lacking just three days of being 78 years of age. In the spring of 1856, he with his parents, came to Madison county and settled two miles west of Peru, where he grew to manhood. He was well known in Madison county and army circles, having joined at the outbreak of the Civil War, the 39th Iowa Infantry, and served until the close of the war. He was married to Miss Ella Bartlett and to this union four children were born: Bert, Percy, Mayme and Guy, all but the latter, who lives in Pittsburg, being buried at Portland, Ore. Some years after his marriage, he and his family moved to Des Moines and from there to Portland, and finally to Dallas, his last home. His first wife dying a number of years ago, he married a lady in Dallas, this wife dying just four days after his death. Funeral services were held by the Masons at Dallas, then he was taken to Portland where another service was held Nov. 24th, his 78th birthday, at his former church. In August this year, he was sent as a delegate to the G. A. R. encampment at Columbus, Ohio. He was very active and cheerful for a man of his years, and was loved and respected by all who knew him, his friends saying he was a real gentleman of the old school. During his residence in Dallas he was employed in the Redhead & Norton paper house. Out of a large family of brothers and sisters, only three brothers remain: Charles of Des Moines, John of Audubon, Iowa, and Clark of Colby, Kansas.
