HON. AMOS LOVERING.

   AMOS LOVERING, son of Amos and Lucy (Day) Lovering, was born 1805, in Medway,
Mass. He prepared for college in Day's Academy in Wrentham, Mass., and in 1S28
graduated from Brown University, Rhode Island. After graduating, he studied law,
and in 1832 settled for the practice of his profession in Louisville, Ky. At the
end of a few years he removed to St. Joseph, Mo., and subsequently to Scott
County, Indiana, where he served for several years as County Attorney, and was
made a Justice of Common Pleas for Scott and Clark counties, a position which he
held for ten years. In 1862 he removed to Nashville, Tenn. In 1869 he made his
residence in Jackson, Miss., and was appointed a Judge in the Ninth Judicial
District of that State. He was subsequently appointed by Governor Alcorn a
member of a commission for codifying the laws of Mississippi. While engaged in
this service, he contracted a malarial disease which affected the brain and
wholly unfitted him for any subsequent labor. Thus disabled, he returned to
Louisville in 1876, where he spent the closing years of his life. He died Jan.
28, 1879, at the age of seventy-four years, in Louisville, Ky. He was married in
1859 to Mary Shelby Pebworth, who with one son survived him.
