General Notes: Husband - David McChestney Love
He worked with his father on the latter's farm for a number of years and then, leaving the parental home, he went to Johnstown, Pennsylvania, where he apprenticed himself to a painter and learned that trade. He reached Johnstown shortly after the great flood which practically destroyed the town and had much to do with the reconstruction of the place. Later he returned to his father's home and lived there for three or four years. After his marriage, however, he again left the old place and this time removed to New Kensington, after spending a number of years on rented farms in various neighborhoods. At New Kensington he entered the employ of the Aluminum Company of America, the successor to the Pittsburgh Reduction Company, of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He continued to work for nine years with this concern, and then returned to Fairfield township, where he purchased a portion of the H. H. Wineland farm, a property which had been in his wife's family for a number of years. This purchase amounted to some seventy-four acres and he operated a portion of it for many years. About 1908 he sold twenty-two and eight-tenths acres to Captain Peters, of the region. This property was in an unusually fine state of cultivation and there were only three acres of uncleared woodland on it. He carried on general farming and raised very fine stock, making a specialty of Holstein-Freisian cattle. Beneath his property there was a valuable coal deposit and he also operated a coal bank there. Mr. Love drilled a well on his property, four hundred and forty-six and a half feet deep and tapped a very fine supply of mineral water. His old well was ruined at the time that the coal was taken out from under his property.
Mr. Love was a Republican in politics, and a conspicuous figure in social and fraternal circles. He was affiliated with Ligonier Lodge, No. 964, Independent Order of Odd Fellows. He was a Presbyterian in his religious belief and a member of the old Presbyterian church in Fairfield township.
