Obituary of Walter W. Lovett

Walter Warren Lovett, oldest son of John C. Lovett
and Julia W. Lovett was born March the 27th, 1866,
and died October the 25th, 1887, aged 21 years and
seven months.

The many acquaintances of Walter W. Lovett admired
him.  Those knowing him esteemed and loved him.  His
was a well-rounded symmetrical character.  Handsome
in feature, magnificent physique, a well balanced
mind, amiable disposition, generous, trustful,
sympathetic by nature, cultivation, and practice, it
is not surprising he was popular and loved---that he
should be missed and mourned.

Early in life he joined the M.E. Church South.  At
an early morning during the dying hours of evening
he lived up to his convictions.  His was a
consistent, Christian life.  He was a young man of
good business judgement.  He was full of energy, he
was attentive and courteous to customers and was a
fine salesman.  While Griffin and Atlanta tried to
obtain his services, his beautiful devotion to his
parents and especially to his mother caused him to
cast his lot in Greenville---that he might be near
his home and loved ones.

Said an employer to me, “Walter was one of the best
boys taken all in all that I knew.  I never heard
him utter a word that would bring a blush to the
cheek of modesty.  He was the best boy I ever had in
my employ and I can never have again the service of
his equal.” 

His father remarked to me, “his conduct was never a
cause of solicitude to me.  I felt assured from his
well established habits during boyhood that I should
never cause of fear concerning his manhood.”

His mother wrote, “Walter never gave me an unkind
word.  From early childhood he was pious and true to
his church vows.  It is hard to give him up, but no
mother every gave a brighter jewel to heaven than
dear Walter.”

It is certainly a good omen that Walter Lovett’s
last night upon earth had ceased just as with the
birth of a new sun his soul was freed from bondage. 
How glorious the scene as he left this world and
entered into the realms of eternal Light.  There is
no night, no ailments there but all is pure,
perfect, beautiful.  The centuries of bliss have
just begun for him.

His parents and family have our sympathies, but what
an honor has been _________ them in giving such a
________ to Heaven.  It s allowed them to ________
Walter again.  May the good Shepherd gather them
unto that fold.
