Judge Lovett Dies Suddenly As Court Adjourns Session
	Judge J.D. Lovett, former judge of the city court of Nashville, and 
prominent attorney of Tampa, Fla., died today at noon in Nashville, where he was 
attending court.  Judge Lovett was busy in the court room until noon, when he 
went to the hotel, to the room of Col. Dickerson, where he was suddenly 
stricken, and died.  Death was attributed to apoplexy.
	Judge Lovett was 57 years of age.  Until five years ago he made his home 
in Nashville.  He then moved to Tampa, where he built up a large law practice.  
He passed through Valdosta on Saturday with his family, and spent some hours 
with his sister, Mrs. J.L. Giddens.  At that time, he appeared to be in the best 
of health.
	Funeral arrangements have not been completed.  Judge Lovett is survived, 
besides his wife, by a daughter, Miss Marion, and a son, Mr. Donald Lovett.  He 
is also survived by his sister, Mrs. Giddens, and two brothers, Mr. Gene Lovett 
of Adel, and Mr. June Lovett of Valdosta.
	Judge Lovett was a well known figure in the bar of South Georgia, before 
moving to Tampa, and was very popular with all the attorneys and court attaches, 
as well as with the public at large.
