Irvie Lovett, a lad in his early teens, was Seaman's first "business man". His stock of merchandise consisted of pencils, paper, pens & ink, which were kept in a drawer at home & his customers were pupils of the Mt. Leigh school which he attended; he would solicit orders from the children one day & deliver the following morning, a strictly cash business. He bought his supplies from Silcott store at Youngsville. Irvie enlarged his business, having a spare bedroom in his home shelved & a counter put in; a small stock of staple groceries, cigars & tobacco filled the shelves. He also bought butter & eggs & begun trade by pulling a wagon from house to house about the country-side during spring & summer months. His father recognizing his son's ability along business lines built a new store room for his use, but before it was completed & ready for occupancy, Irvie who was a splendid scholar, secured a position with M & S Timmonds, wholesale grocers, at Portsmouth. He remained with this firm for some time & left their employment to accept a similar position with The Wright-Clarkson Mercantile Co., of Duluth, Minnesota. His business ability won him both promotions & increase in salary. A brilliant career was cut short by illness which terminated in death at the age of 42.
