History in
a Pecan Shell
The town is a misspelling of Loveless.
Three Confederate brothers with that surname arrived shortly after
the Civil War. The Missouri, Kansas and Texas arrivied in 1885 built
a spur on Loveless land. The name was misspelled on maps and so it
has remained.
A church and school were built, and a post office was granted in 1893.
The population of the Lovelace school in 1905 was thirty - but the
overall population remained under 100. The post office closed in 1908
and during the Great Depression the population fell to 66. It dipped
to just 50 during the early 1950s - the last figures given. |
