After an education acquired in the public schools of his home town he secured a position with the Pulp and Paper Mill of Luke, Md., and later when the Lonaconing Glass Factory was put into operation he was assigned to the position of foreman of the lehrs, a very trustworthy position. After several years with this company he became connected with the Georges Creek Coal Company, and continued this work until his enlistment in the service. Because of his engaging and cheerful nature he had a host of friends, and through his entire life, whether in sport or work, or afterward in fight, he was always on the job. He became a member of Valley Council, No. 26, Jr. O.U.A.M., when 16 years old, and received the honors of Past Councillor, July, 1914. He enlisted July 18, 1917, in the Ninth Infantry, Company E, was ordered to Fort Slocum, New York, and sailed for France September of the same year. He remained in the same command throughout. An abstract from a letter written by Lieut. C. E. Frampton to Corporal Love's sister, Miss Minnie Love, tells the rest very well: "On the night of June 7th our company was supporting an attack made by another company when we came under a bit of heavy shell fire. It was a moment when men showed their worth and it is with great pleasure that I am able to inform you that your brother acted with the utmost courage and bravery. He was mortally wounded, but was conscious when evacuated to the hospital. He did after reaching the hospital. He did not suffer greatly as the shock of the wound numbed his sense of feeling. He died as he had lived, a brave, fearless boy, smiling in the face of everything. I first became acquainted with your brother on November 12, 1917, when I joined the Company. I reported for duty and he was assigned as my Runner, a position of trust and responsibility. He acquitted himself so favorably that he was recommended as corporal and when he received his promotion he proved worthy of the trust. He became a capable and efficient non-commissioned officer and his loss was a real blow to the Company as well as a sad one to his friends." This is how he came to become numbered among those who "Went West," giving his life bravely and gladly in defense of his country. According to a an August 6, 1921, Cumberland Evening Times article, the funeral was held at the Presbyterian Church on Sunday, August 7, 1921.
