Surnames: LOVE, SCARLETT, FROWE, POPPER, NIBLOCK, MELMER From Memoirs of the Miami Valley, Vol. III, 1919: on page 449/450: Samuel W. LOVE. Superintendent of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company, at Hamilton, and who has been the incumbent of this post during the past ten years, was born at Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1866, a son of David and Mary (SCARLETT) LOVE, and a nephew of Lieutenant LOVE, chief of detectives of Cincinnati. His parents, natives of Ireland, were young married people when they emigrated to the United States and settled at Cincinnati, where David LOVE found employment as a city fireman. He met his death in the line of duty, being one of those to lose their lives while fighting the great bucket factory fire of some years ago, which is well remembered for its size, fierceness and number of casualties. He and his wife had two children: Samuel W. and Mary. The latter is the wife of George FROWE, of Cincinnati, where the aged mother also makes her home. Samuel W. LOVE received his education in the public schools of Cincinnati, but his advantages were not numerous, as the death o! f the father left the family in somewhat straitened financial circumstances and it was necessary that he go to work. He accordingly found a position with the Herman Manufacturing company, a concern with which he remained for thirteen years. During this time he was promoted from time to time, but finally felt that he was not making rapid enough progress and accordingly resigned and turned his attention to the field of life insurance. Securing a position as agent for the Metropolitan Life Insurance company, within the space of one short year he had won his way to the assistant superintendency at Cincinnati, and after capably discharging the duties of this office for some time was given the Hamilton agency as superintendent, this having been his post for the past ten years. The Hamilton agency also includes College Hill and Franklin, and Mr. Love now has fourteen solicitors under his charge. He has been very successful in his field and under his direction the company's bu! siness has assumed large proportions here. In 1904 Mr. LOVE married E lizabeth, daughter of Louis POPPER, a retired citizen of Cincinnati, and to this union there have been born two children: David, deceased; and Jean, born in November, 1910. Fraternally, Mr. LOVE is identified with the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, the Knights of Pythias and the Masons, and is a Shriner. He belongs to Trinity Episcopal church of Hamilton. During the campaign of selling Liberty Bonds and War Savings stamps, his allotment of bonds was $5,000 for each man in his district, which he exceeded, while he personally sold $114,000 worth of war savings stamps. He has always been active in movements which have contributed to the welfare of his community, and has thus been rightfully accredited with being a public-spirited and useful citizen. on page 546: in bio on James C. NIBLOCK, it mentions "he married Emma C. LOVE, daughter of William and Elizabeth (MELMER) LOVE, at Muncie, Ind., February 10, 1891. She was born in Glasgow, Scotland, January 16, 1870, and came with her parents to Montreal, Canada, when quite a young girl, where her father engaged in railroad business. Her mother died September 10, 1902; her father, July 31, 1911."
