Death of H.B. Love.
Paris, Texas, January 15. H.B. Love, an old resident and prominent citizen of Lamar County, expired suddenly yesterday evening while sitting in a chair at his home, six miles west of town. He had been in failing health for several months. The deceased was a native of Alabama and was in his 72nd year.

He served in the Confederate Army as a member of Hood's Brigade until wounded at the Battle of Chancellorsville, which necessitated his being furloughed. He was a member of Albert Sidney Johnston Camp, United Confederate Veterans of this city and held the position of Commander one term. He was married three times and survived all of his wives. He leaves twelve children.

H.T. Love
[A committee composed of William Huddle, J.E. Roach and H.O. Brown reports the death of Comrade H.T. Love.]

H.T. Love was born in Montgomery County, Alabama, August 9, 1839 and went to Texas with his father at an early day. In 1861 he returned to Alabama and entered the Confederate Army with the 4th Alabama Regiment, Law’s Brigade and Hood’s Division. He saw much hard service in the Virginia Army; was wounded in battle upon three separate engagements and after the war came home on crutches. He settled in Lamar County and made a good citizen.

He was one of those true, chivalric Christian gentlemen whose memories we honor and whose lives we respect. In him there was no guile and if he ever had an enemy, it is not known. He was an enthusiastic and devoted member of our Camp and we shall miss him in our meetings. His death occurred January 14, 1911, in his seventy-second year.

To his large family of children we extend our warmest sympathy and offer the love and affection of this Camp.
