Rev. Horace T. Love Dead

New York, 1895

The Rev. Horace T. Love, the oldest graduate of Brown university and an ex-missionary to Greece, died at Babylon on Friday night, aged 87 years. He was a native of Washington county, this state, and graduated from Brown university, Rhode Island, in 1836. He was licensed to preach and continued to expound the gospel until about twenty years ago. He had in the course of his long life raised over $700,000 for missions. He was for some years a resident of Kansas, and founded a college in that state.
