The Landmark Feb. 16, 1883 February 16, 1883
From The Landmark of Feb. 16, 1883
DR. SAMUEL LEONIDUS LOVE was born in Waynesville, Haywood County, on the 25th 
Aug. 1828. His father was JAMES R. LOVE, and his grandfather was COL. ROBERT 
LOVE, who was a Presidential Elector continuously from the time of Jefferson 
to that of Van Buren, a period of nearly forty years. No man in his day and 
generation occupied a more prominent position in North Carolina than COL. 
ROBERT LOVE. DR. LOVE'S mother was MARIA WILLIAMSON, daughter of JAMES COMAN 
[WILLIAMSON] Esq. and a descendant of HUGH WILLIAMSON, one of the delegates 
from North Carolina to the General Convention that framed the Federal 
Constitution. A daughter named MARIA WILLIAMSON and a son named ROBERT, bear 
testimony to Dr. LOVE'S regard for an ancestry of whom he may well be proud.

Dr. Love went to school in Asheville to Messrs. Lee and Norwood, after which 
he went to Washington College in Tennessee where he was a schoolmate of 
Governor Vance. He studied medicine in Asheville under those noted physicians 
Drs. Hardy and Lester, after which he went to Philadelphia, where in the 
course of time he graduated from the Philadelphia Medical College.

In the Legislature of 1854-55 he was elected as a member of the Council of 
State during Governor Bragg's administration which position he resigned in 
order to qualify himself for a seat in the Legislature, for which he was than 
a candidate. He was elected without opposition and continued to be elected  
until the war, after which he returned to private live and resumed the 
practice of medicine. 

In 1875 he was elected a member of the Constitutional Convention in which body 
he did faithful service during the entire session. In 1870 he married RACHEL
BOYD, an accomplished lady and daughter of MAJOR ROBERT BOYD of Haywood. They 
have three children. He was nominated by acclamation in the Democratic 
Convention of last year for the position he now holds.
