GEORGE R. LOVE  is the efficient superintendent of the Toledo Hospital for the Insane, which is considered the model institution of its kind in the world, and to his administrative ablity and especial adaptability is due in large measure its present high standing.  Dr. Love was born in Plainfield, Ohio, Jan. 21, 1869, and is the son of Joseph and Margaret (Rusk) Love, the former of whom was born in the city of Philadelphia and the latter at Dresden, Ohio.  Although born and reared in the Quaker City, the father became a farmer by occupation, and in early manhood removed to Ohio, where he met and married his wife, in Jacobsport, now called Plainfield.  The wife died in 1898, and of the eight children born to their union seven are living.  The father is now a resident of Coshocton, Ohio, where for a number of years he has filled the position of librarian of the public library.  In the Civil war he served as a musician and also in the commissary department.  Dr. George R. Love, to whom this review is more particularly dedicated received his preliminary education in the public schools of Coshocton county, and then completed a course in the Ohio State University.  Deciding upon the practice of medicine as his life's profession, he then matriculated at the Starling Medical College, of Columbus, and graduated in that institution with the class of 1897.  Soon after his graduation, he received the appointment as house surgeon at the Miami Valley Hospital, in which capacity he served one year, and he then came to Toledo and officiated as house surgeon in the Toledo Hospital for several months.  In October, 1898, he was appointed to a position on the medical staff of that institution by the then superintendent.  Dr. H. H. Tobey, and he served as assistant to that official for a period of six years.  At the end of that time he opened an office for the private practice of his profession in the city of Toledo, and was thus successfully engaged for about eighteen months.  On Feb. 19, 1906, a vacancy having occurred in the office of superintendent of the Toledo State Hospital for the Insane, he was selected for the position and has since served in that capacity to the entire satisfaction of all concerned.  He is a member of the Academy of Medicine of Toledo, and has a life membership in the Ohio Archaeological and Historical Society.  His religious faith is expressed by membership in the Presbyterian church.  On Oct. 11, 1904, Dr. Love was married to Miss Helen Josephine Deering, who was born in Saco, Maine, and received her education in La Salle Seminary in Massachusetts.  To this union there has been born a son, George Deering Love, who was born in Toledo, Apr. 26, 1907.  Source: Memoirs of Lucas County & City of Toledo - Vol. II - Publ. 1910 - Page 117
