HENRY LOVETT railroad section foreman, P.O. Tullytown, was 
born in Falls township, February 28, 1830.  His parents, 
Joseph and Susan (Rue) Lovett, were natives of Bucks county 
and of English origin.  His father was a shoemaker in early 
life and afterward a farmer.  He died in 1840 in Falls 
township, where he lived for many years.  The subject of 
this sketch is the seventh of a family of ten children, all 
of whom grew to maturity.  Henry was reared in Falls 
township and attended the district school.  He learned the 
carpenter's trade, which business he followed until 1881.  
Since then he has been in the employ of the Pennsylvania 
railroad company as section foreman at Tullytown.  He is a 
democrat and is a member of the Knights of Pythias.  He has 
been successful in life and is the owner of a farm in Falls 
township.  His ancestors were members of the Society of 
Friends.  He has held the office of justice of the peace, 
and is notary public at the present time.  He is president 
of the board of directors of the William Penn building 
association, and of the board of trustees of the Tullytown 
cemetery.
