Mrs. Clementine Lovell Passes Away

Old resident of Vernon Center [MN] had been living with son here.

Clementine Whitcomb was born August 18, 1853, in Hawkesbury, Ontario 
[Canada].  Her mother, Margaret Cameron, was Highland Scotch. Her 
father, James Whitcomb, was the grandson of a New York stone mason 
who came to Canada to work upon the parliament building in Ottawa.

When a child of three, she came with her parents to a farm near 
Hustisford, Wis.  She attended the Waterton Academy.  She taught school 
in her own neighborhood and in Carson City, and in other mining towns 
in Nevada.

Sept. 19, 1883 she became the wife of Fredrick Randall Lovell, the son 
of John and Rosamond Lovell, old friends and neighbors in Dodge county, 
Wis.

Immediately following their marriage, they came to Garden City, Minn., 
moving the following year to the farm at the edge of Vernon Center [MN], 
which was their home for more than 50 years.  Here her children were 
born: Margaret, whose death occurred June 19, 1937; John of Fairmont 
[MN] and James of Kasson [MN].

Mrs Lovell was an unselfish and devoted wife and mother; the soul of 
hospitality and kindness.  She was active and a leader in church and 
community work and a loyal member of the W.C.T.U. from its earliest 
organization.

Her husband [Fred R. Lovell] preceded her in death by nine years.  
After several years of failing health she passed away at the home of 
her son, James, at Kasson, Monday, Oct. 10 1938, at the age of 85.  
Surviving her, besides her two sons, are eight grandchildren and two 
great grandchildren.

Funeral services were held at the Methodist church in Vernon Center 
Wednesday, Oct. 12, at two o'clock.  Rev. W. M. Frank, pastor, preached 
the funeral sermon.  Miss Florence Brown sang two solos.  
There were many flowers.

[She is buried in the Vernon Center Cemetery.]
