LOTT --- Lewis LOTT
Lincoln County Beacon, July 23, 1885
---Tuesday night, july 21, in Lincoln Center, Lewis, son of Mr. and Mrs. J.M. Lott, and aged nine months and six days. The always foolish and sometimes dangerous sport of anvil firing has received an awful rebuke in the death of this little one. There is no question but that fright at the sound of anvil firing on the Fourth sent this little child into spasms which ultimately caused its death.
LOTT --- Sadie LOTT
Lincoln Sentinel-Republican, Feb. 25, 1932

Mr. and Mrs. LOTT came to Kansas in 1878 and homesteaded near Lincoln. Mr. LOTT was also engaged in Christian work at that time, later being ordained as a Presbyterian minister, and Mrs. Lott ably assisted him in every way in the various fields to which they were called, being a faithful and devoted wife and an efficient partner in the Lord's work. The family moved to McPherson in 1919 when Mr. Lott retired from the ministry.
She leaves to mourn her departure her husband, Rev. Newton J. LOTT of the home; a son Jacob A. LOTT of Kansas City, Mo.; four daughters, Alta L.

LOVIN --- Louis Asbury LOVIN --- (TWO OBITUARIES)
1.) -- Lincoln Sentinel-Republican, Thursday, April 22, 1937
--- Louis Asbury LOVIN, son of William and Sarah LOVIN, was born at Wayside, Swain County, North Carolina, May 11, 1859. He died at Lincoln, Kansas, April 10, aged 77 years, ten months and 29 days. When he was 16 he moved with his parents to the Cheyenne neighborhood in Osborne County, Kansas. There in 1880, his mother was one of those who perished in the memorable prairie fire.
On November 21, 1888, he was married to Pearl HOLMAN. They established their home in Lincoln, where they have lived nearly 50 years, with the exception of five years during which they managed a hotel in Sylvan Grove. Seven children were born to them, two of whom died in infancy, and one in adulthood. Mr.. LOVIN worked at various occupations, such as railroad work, hotel management, draying and caring for cattle, as a means of making a living. He was a quiet, neighborly, well liked man, ever a hard worker until the ill health of the past five or six years. Although he was never in affluent circumstances he derived many satisfactions from life. Home and friends meant much to him.
The calm manner in which he faced is explained by his Christian faith. While a young man he became a member of the Baptist church, later transferring to the Methodist church in Lincoln. Even during the last few months when he was hard of hearing and crippled from rheumatism he often walked to the nearest church, the Pilgrim Holiness and took a front pew so he could enjoy the sermon and singing. He faced death with confidence and poise.
Many friends and relatives pay tribute to his memory. The following are the surviving nearest relatives: his wife, four children, Everett of the home, Orville of Sylvan Grove; Edna and Ida of the home; two brothers, J. S. LOVIN of Hoxie; and James LOVIN of El Paso, Texas; a sister, Mrs.. F. W. DILL of Lincoln, two grandchildren; and his mother-in-law, Mrs.. S. R. HOLMAN, who lives much of the time in the Lovin home.
The funeral service was held from the Lincoln Methodist church, Tuesday afternoon, April 13. The sermon was by the Rev. J. R. WONDER. Mr.. and Mrs.. Bert SPEAR, whose singing Mr.. LOVIN always enjoyed, sang three hymns, "Beautiful Isle", "The Beautiful Garden of Prayer", and "We'll Never say Goodbye in Heaven." Mrs. Wayne PERRILL presided at the piano. Casket bearers were E.C. DRAGOO, James BOOZ, Glenn PEACOCK, Frank HEISER, Lloyd ASKEY and Elmer KADEL. Burial was in the quiet, tree-sheltered family lot in the Lincoln cemetery.
Mrs.. LOVIN and Mrs.. F. W. DILL and children are deeply grateful to their good neighbors and friends for the many expressions of kindness.

LOVIN[G] - LOVINE - LOVER --- Sarah LOVIN
A note on the following death notices. The first article, taken from the Lincoln County Beacon, lists the deceased incorrectly as Mrs. LOVER. The surname was LOVIN. Another point to take note of is the death date. It would appear that The editor of the Lincoln paper might have heard of this story second-hand... thus the incorrect date of the fire and deaths of Mrs. Lovin and her son. The second article below from the Osborne County Farmer should be considered more correct in information.
Lincoln County Beacon Thursday, April 1, 1880.
---A Mrs. LOVER on Wolf Creek was burned to death on Monday last while trying to save her cows that were tied in a burning stable.

Osborne County Farmer Thursday, April 1, 1880, Page 5, Column 3.
"Destructive Prairie Fires: a woman burned to death... houses, barns and stock destroyed"
---During last week the most disasterous prairie fires of which we have record raged over the southern part of Osborne county, carring fearful destruction and in one instance the loss of human life before them. On Sunday morning the wildest rumors were rife in the case of terrible ravages by fir along Wolf creek some miles south of town and also along Covert creek. We have sifted the matter down to a substantial basis, and find the particulars about as follows.

Our news from Wolf creek is a that the fire traveled overs a large extent of country, destroying houses, barns and stock. A Woman named LOVING lost her life and from ten to twenty head of horses were burned to death. The wind was blowing goodly and the flames jumped over plowed guards as if they did not exist. East of the city Mr. John DERBY was completely burned out. His house and contents......
"A Few additional particulars--- loss of two lives" ---In our last issue but few additional particulars of the disasterous prairie fires have been received. Besides the death of Mrs. Wm. LOVIN, who was burned by the fire on Wolf Creek, a 19 year old son of the same family was overtaken by the raging flames, losing his life. The circumstances of Mrs. LOVIN's sad death, are about as follows: The lady was trying to rescue her children who had gone to loosen the horses, and who suceeded in mounting the animals and making their escape. Mrs. LOVIN, it is thought, was overcome by fright and fell helpless before the flames reached her. Her body was burned to a crisp and so badly burned to be scarcely reognizable. She was 44 years of age, a quiet and unassuming womand and a devout member of the Baptist church. Her funeral which was conducted by Rev. G. H. CLARK, of Wolf Creek, was largely attended. Mrs. LOVIN was half-sister to Elder T. F. MEDLIN of Bloomington. The total loss by the fires along Wolf and Covert creeks can not as yet be fully estimated. Great damage was sustained.

Added note: Mother and son are buried side by side in the Cheyenne Cemetery, Osborne County about one mile west of the former Lovin home.

LUFF --- Claude LUFF
Lincoln Sentinel, July 6, 1905

Claude was well-known in Lincoln where he had spent much of his life. He was about 20 years old. The remains will be brought to Lincoln for burial, and are expected to arrive on this evening's passenger.
