Henry Hamilton Love (December 27, 1875 – May 2, 1922) was a lumberman, sportswriter and humorist who lived in Nashville, Tennessee.
He was chairman of the local baseball committee and wrote several articles covering the Nashville Vols.
Love left school at the age of fifteen and worked as a reporter and newswriter for the Nashville Evening Herald.
[9][10][11] Love was chairman of the local baseball committee[12] and wrote several articles covering the Nashville Vols.
In 1908, when the Nashville Vols team won the Southern pennant after defeating New Orleans, Love wrote: "By one run, by one point, Nashville has won the Southern League pennant, nosing New Orleans out literally by an eyelash.
[2] From 1895 or 1896, Hamilton Love initially worked in a minor capacity but was given every opportunity for advancement and learned the trade.
[28] In 1915, Love's brother John moved to New York, and Hamilton took over as director of the First and Fourth National Banks.
[29] Shortly before Love's death the Nashville business was run by him and his relative Tom Lesueur.
[30][31] Love was a member of several organizations; his "public spirit" was "one of his most strongly marked characteristics"[1] and he was "always doing something to help Nashville".
His matchless bravery in the face of the passing years that smote his frail body with pain and suffering almost incessantly will always appeal to us as an example of fine, undaunted courage.
He went to his Maker with head erect, unconquered by the long-continued and well-nigh intolerable blow of physical agony.
