Mark Mervin Loveland was born 15 Aug 1894 to Charles M Loveland and Minnie Amelia Froom in Coitsville township, Mahoning, Ohio -- a township settled by his 2d GG Amos Loveland in 1795. His brother, Lloyd Lester, followed three years later. The boys lost their mother when Mark was 7, and their father when he was 12. He went to live with his grandfather David S Loveland (Lloyd went to an Uncle). So Mark was raised on the farm known as Loveland Hill, on Loveland Rd. By age 17 he was working as a machinist.
In May 1917 at age 22 he enlisted in the US National Guard at Canton, Stark, Ohio - 5'6", 170#, blue eyes, brown hair, light complexion. In August he was assigned to the 4th Ambulance Co 145, Co B. He eloped with his love, Margaret Esther Burrows on 29 Dec 1917 while she was on Christmas vacation from Mt. Union College, Alliance, Ohio. Margaret's father, Rev Albert Edwin Burrows, officiated at a formal ceremony the 7th of Jan 1918 at the Methodist parsonage in Youngstown. Peg returned to Mt Union where she served as a dorm advisor, then moved in with her sister, Frances, when she came to attend Union College. Mark was assigned 21 Mar 1918 to the Medical Department, 3rd Regt, 3rd Div. He arrived 9 Apr 1918 at Bordeaux aboard the ship Rochambeau. Serving with the US Allied Expeditionary Forces as ambulance driver and medical technician in the St Mihiel; Champagne-Marne; Aisne-Marne; Meuse-Argonne; Defensive Sector. He was promoted to Private First Class before returning to CONUS 26 Aug 1919 through the Port of New York, and was honorably discharged 31 Aug 1919 in Bucyrus, Ohio. Mark & Peg lived with Aunt Mollie & Charles Dunlap (sister of mother Minnie Froom) in Youngstown.
1927 finds Mark completing college and medical school at Kirksville Osteopathic College, Kirksville, Missouri. He set up practice in Bucyrus. But in 1937 a car accident with his parents in California, brought the family to Hollywood. He purchased a home in the Hollywood Hills and set up practice at 6331 Hollywood Blvd, Los Angeles. His wife Margaret contracted cancer and passed in 1944.
A little more than a year later, on 11 Jul 1945 he married Grace Elizabeth Raynes-Haymond; they both had daughters in DG Sorority at UCLA, and she had been a neighbor in the Hollywood Hills. In 1948, Mark set up practice with his son, Robert, also an osteopathic surgeon at 6007 Melrose Blvd, West Los Angeles. The federal census of 1950 shows him in ED: 66-521 p. 12, sheet 11 across the street from Roy Rogers and Dale Evens. Mark's grandchildren remember fun times playing with the Rogers children when they went to visit grandpa. In 1953 Mark is quoted in an area newspaper commenting at a city council meeting discussion about banning left turns on some area streets, that doing so would only give greater traffic headaches. Consensus even then was that "improved public transportation would be the only cure for the highway problem."
By 1958 Mark and Grace were settled in Morro Bay, San Luis Obispo. He lived consistently in Morro Bay and Pacifica, Monterey until Grace passed in 1977. Incapacitation from Parkinson's necessitated his move into a community living situation. He died in Burbank California at the age of 87.
