JAMES
W. LOVE. Numbered among the honored pioneer
citizens of Columbiana County is James W. Love, Civil
War veteran, who lives retired at Wellsville. He was
born in Mercer County, Pa., Jan. 9, 1834, the son of
Matthew G. and Esther (Gibson) Love.
Matthew G. Love, deceased, was a native of
Pennsylvania and a farmer during his life. He spent a
number of years in Wellsville, where he was an early
settler. There were eight children in the Love
family, as follows: James W., the subject of
this sketch; Cyrus, deceased; Mary, deceased;
John, a Civil War veteran, deceased; Absolin,
and Esther, deceased; and two children died in
infancy.
James W. Love attended school in a log cabin in
Mercer County, Pa. He removed to Wellsville at an
early age with his parents and prior to the Civil War worked
as a brakeman and bridge carpenter for the Pennsylvania
Railroad. After the close of the war he returned to
service on that division as a bridge carpenter, but left in
1866, and for the next four years was chief of police at
Wellsville, during which time he also performed special
detective service for the railroad. In 1870 Mr.
Love became a patrolman on the Panhandle Division and
worked continuously in that capacity until the time of his
retirement in May, 1901.
Mr. Love served with valor in the 176th
Ohio Volunteer Infantry in the Civil War, during the course
of which two of his brothers lost their lives.
In 1866 Mr. Love was married to Miss
Catherine Steele, of West Virginia, who died April 5,
1908. To them were born four children: Lola,
who lives with her father; James and Nettie,
both deceased; and William Warren, engaged in
the real estate business in Cleveland.
Mr. Love is a member of the Grand Army of the
Republic, Veterans of Foreign Wars, and the Second
Presbyterian Church of Wellsville. He has always been
esteemed throughout the community for his uprightness of
character.
