JAMES ARTHUR LOVE
Vol. 3, p. 1109

The Chickasaw Nation is proud of what its distinguished families
have done to develop a land of happy and permanent homes, and among
the foremost of those families that have had a leading part in this
noble work, the Love family stands well to the forefront. For this
family, the County of Love, with Marietta as its county seat, was
named. One branch of the family is represented prominently at Colbert
in the person of James Arthur Love, a young man who gives splendid
promise of carrying on the example of the family in the matter of
progress and development, and already is he proving himself a factor
in the community.

James Arthur Love was born on January 18, 1887 at Colbert, Oklahoma,
then the old Indian Territory. His father was Henry Love, a quarter-
blood Chickasaw, and his mother was Jennie GOOLDSLY, of white blood.
Henry Love was a farmer and stockraiser all his life. He was born in
Mississippi and came to Indian Territory in 1832 with the Chickasaws.
He served in the Chickasaw Senate after locating in this region, and
was a prominent and popular man in the tribe. He was a son of Isaac
Love, who was a native of Mississippi, but who migrated to Indian
Territory and died here in advanced years.

James and Arthur Love attended Hailey Institute at Tishomingo, and
the metropolitan Business College at Dallas, Texas. After the
completion of his business course he engaged in the drug business at
Colbert, and continued in that business for six years. It is the
present plan of Mr. Love to identify himself with the grocery
business in Colbert, and he is at present evolving plans for the
establishment of such an enterprise. With his business training and
his practical experience in the retail business, there is no question
but he will make a splendid success of the venture. After he closed
out his drug business in Colbert, Mr. Love went to Oklahoma City and
there engaged in a similar enterprise, but in February, 1915, he
returned to Colbert, his native city, and here he means to spend the
remainder of his life.

On October 6, 1909, Mr. Love was married to Miss Gertrude INGRAM of
Carter County, Oklahoma. She is a Chickasaw descent, and the daughter
of a prominent cattleman of Carter County, who now has his residence
in Oklahoma City. Mrs. Love owns 200 acres of land in the heart of
the Healdton oil fields.

Mr. and Mrs. Love have one child--Arthur Ingram Love, born July 19,
1912.

The family have membership in the Presbyterian Church and Mr. Love
is a member of the Masonic order. He is a democrat, and has always
given worthy service to the party.
