John Love Dead.
He Was a Brave Soldier and a Respected Citizen.
John Love, a prominent and highly respected citizen of Lower Chanceford township and father of ex-Deputy Sheriff Lemon Love, died at his homo at York Furnace Tuesday morning.
Mr. Love's death was not an entire surprise, but it will be a long time before his friends and relatives will become reconciled to his death. Mr. Love came from a line of sturdy Scotch-Irishmen who came to this country from Ireland 150 years ago and settled In Newberry township.
Mr. Love's record as a soldier is a conspicuous one. He was a private in Company I [see above], Seventy-sixth regiment of the Pennsylvania Volunteers, and he was wounded five times [as yet unverified]. He served three years and the wounds he received while so gallantly serving his country caused the illness from which he died.
