Alanson
Loveland, a prominent
and wealthy farmer of Madison township, Lake county, Ohio, has been an
industrious man all his life, and to his honest industry he attributes the
success he has attained. As one of the representative men of the
county, we present a sketch of his life in this work. Alanson Loveland was born in Rutland county, Vermont, Mar. 2, 1823, son of Alanson Loveland, the grandson of Treat Loveland, both natives of Vermont, the family being of English descent. Grandfather Loveland was a farmer all his life. He came to Ohio about 1826, and died here at the age of eighty years. The father of our subject, Alanson Loveland, Sr., was a cloth dresser by trade. Moving to Ohio in 1826, he located in Thompson, Geauga county, everything being in its wild state here then. For some time he lived in a log house without doors and windows, the openings being screened by blankets. Subsequently he removed to Licking county, Ohio, and a short time later to Painesville, this county. At the latter place he worked at his trade for awhile. His last move was to Madison township, where he died at the age of fifty-eight years. His wife, Sophia, was a daughter of General Orms, who served in the war of 1812. Mr. and Mrs. Loveland reared two children, Cornelia and Alanson. The mother died at the age of fifty-eight years. Alonson Loveland was three years old at the time his father emigrated to Ohio, and in the primitive log schoolhouses of this State he received his education. With the exception of eight months spent in work at his father's trade, his life has been devoted to agricultural pursuits. After his marriage, which occurred in 1843, Mr. Loveland settled on a tract of timber land in Madison township, and after clearing and developing 100 acres sold it. He then located on his present farm, 107 acres, nearly all of which is devoted to general farming and stock-raising. Mrs. Loveland's maiden name was Laura Long. She was born in New Hampshire and has been a resident of Ohio since her girlhood. Their three children are: Henry, Lamar and Ella. In his political views, Mr. Loveland is in harmony with the principles advocated by the Republican Party. |
