For those of
you who descend from William Love, who was murdered by the Harpe Brothers, and Love's son,
William Calhoun Love, I came across an obituary[1]
that might be of interest. It appears that William Calhoun's daughter, Josephine, moved from
Caldwell County, Kentucky to Evansville, Indiana.
"Many
will learn with regret of the death of Mrs. Josephine J. Caldwell, wife of Mr.
G.E. Caldwell, of this city, which occurred Sunday, March 10, about 7 p.m. Mr.
and Mrs. Caldwell removed from Fredonia, Ky., to this city Dec. 14, 1899, but
during their brief residence here have won many friends. She was the daughter
of Rev. Wm. C. Love, one of the pioneer Cumberland Presbyterian preachers of
Kentucky, whose name is still a household word in this section of the country,
covered by his ministry. She was born near Fredonia, Ky., Dec. 14, 1852.
Surviving her are her husband and son, Messrs. G.E. and W.B. Caldwell, of this
city; two brothers, Rev. T.S. Love, St. Louis, Mo. and Mr. N.M. Love, Salem,
Ky., and a sister, Mrs. Endocia McChesney, Shady Grove, Ky. The funeral will be
from the family residence on Washington avenue, and will be conducted by Rev.
T.A. Wigginton, of the First Cumberland Presbyterian Church of which the
deceased was a consistent member."
