Mrs. Catherine Lovejoy passed from this life, March 11, 1935 at the home of her son, Harley M. Lovejoy. Mrs. Lovejoy was born in Hudson, June 27, 1854, of pioneer stock that helped to settle the region of the Catskills. She came to Western New York as an infant, when her parents, Phillip and Lucy Blass Mink made the trip on the Erie Canal from their home in Hudson to a new home in Farmington township. Mrs. Lovejoy was twice married. Her first husband, Hinman E. Smith, passed away in 1887 at their home in Rochester, leaving his widow and two children, a son, Oscar F. Smith, who died in 1909, and a daughter, Mrs. George H. Gunnison, now of Canandaigua. In 1892, Mrs. Smith married Edward E. Lovejoy of Victor, who died in 1908. Two sons born to them, Charley E. Lovejoy and Harley M. Lovejoy, both of Victor, survive. Mrs. Lovejoy also leaves nine grandchildren: Mrs. T. H. Townsend of Waterville; Mrs. William Millard of Canandaigua, and George S. Gunnison of Syracuse, Edward, Adeline, Jean, Janette, Harley M. and Lowell Lovejoy of Victor, and nine great grandchildren, living in Waterville and Canandaigua. For 57 years, Mrs. Lovejoy had been a member of the Methodist church, and for many years she took part in all its activities. She was a charter member of Unity Club and gave support to every worthy cause brought to her attention until failing health several years ago, forced her to retire from interests outside her home. The funeral was held March 13th, at 2:30 from the home of her son, Harley M. Lovejoy.
