MRS. LUCY (LOVE) VOMBURG.

One who enters actively into fraternal and social life in San Joaquin County, being in thorough harmony with the growth and progress of Lodi and environs, is Mrs. Lucy (Love) Vomburg, who was born and reared in Kentucky, and comes from a very distinguished family. She is a daughter of Colonel S. P. and Jane (McConnell) Love, the former born in Lincoln County, Ky., May 10, 1826. In 1846, in Garrard County, Ky., S. P. Love enlisted as a private, Captain Donovan commanding, and served in the Mexican War. He also served in the frontier trouble in Missouri, and later he was discharged at Buena Vista. In 1849 he moved to Muhlenberg County and married Miss Jane McConnell. In August of 1861, S. P. Love was commissioned lieutenant-colonel in the 11th Kentucky Infantry, under Colonel P. B. Hawkins. In May of 1863, Colonel Hawkins resigned and S. P.
Love then became colonel of the regiment. He was engaged in the Battle of Shiloh and was in full pursuit of General Bragg's army; he took part in the siege of Knoxville, Tenn., and served under General Burnside in eastern Tennessee; he was also with Sherman's army from Ringgold to Atlanta, and was discharged on December 16, 1864. In 1897 he was called upon to help compile the history of the
11th Kentucky Infantry for the "History of the Union Regiments of Kentucky," and was of great assistance to the historian. He was the father of eleven children, namely: Mrs. Dan Mosley, John G. Love, Mrs. Edward L. Yonts, Mrs. Annie R. White, Mrs. H. F. Young, Mrs. George Gossett, Mrs. J. W. Vomburg, Mrs. Henry Nunan, Mrs. George A. Hillebert, Mrs. Henry Bruce Barkis, deceased, who was the first wife of Henry Bruce Barkis, whose biography appears elsewhere in this work; and Lucien T., deceased in 1896. Colonel Love passed away at Greenville, Ky., on March 26, 1903, and was buried with full military honors.

Lucy Love grew up in Kentucky and was well educated. In that state, also, she married Mr. J. W. Vomburg, late of Russellville, Logan County, Ky., where he was the proprietor of a meat market. Mr. Vomburg died, leaving his
widow and three children: Joseph L., of Detroit, Mich.; Harry L., of Los Angeles; and Nannie B., now a sophomore in the Lodi high school. Soon after her husband's death in Kentucky, Mrs. Lucy (Love) Vomburg, accompanied by her daughter, Nannie B., came out to Lodi, where she has since been housekeeper for Mr. Henry Bruce Barkis, her brother-in-law, whose first wife was Miss Fanny Love, an older sister. A favorite daughter of Kentucky, she was heartily welcomed to California, where she has become a leader in fraternal and social circles. She is a prominent member of Flora lodge of Rebekahs, No. 162, of Lodi; the Woman's Relief Corps; of Irena Dutton Tent, No. 37, Daughters of Civil War Veterans, and the Woman's Club of Lodi. She has won a host of friends who deeply appreciate her sterling worth and public-spirited efforts. As chairman of the refreshment committee of the W. R. C., she has gained the love and respect of all.
