He completed his education in the University of Kentucky, at Lexington, where he was a student during the years 1870 and 1871. He came to Worthington with his parents in 1872, arriving in that village on June 20. He spent the first five years working in his father's hotel and livery, and then for one year was manager of the Hotel Luverne. Returning to Worthington, he accepted a position as clerk in H. ģE. Torrance's store, which he held six years. After spending one year in Pueblo, Col., he returned to Worthington and managed the Lake View hotel until his father's death in December, 1890. In the fall of 1892 Mr. Loveless opened a grocery store, which he has ever since conducted. He erected a handsome brick block in 1900, in which his store has since been located. Mr. Loveless was married at Worthington in April, 1885, to Miss Iva Belle Allen, a native of Ripon, Wis., and a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Allen, of Worthington. They are the parents of the following children: Clifford, Areoline, Willie D. and Mildred. In religious, social and business matters Mr. Loveless has always taken a prominent part.
