Don Lathrop Love was mayor of Lincoln, Nebraska in two non-consecutive terms, 1909–11 and 1929-31.[1] He was born in Janesville, Wisconsin, on March 7, 1863,[2] and died in Lincoln on September 12, 1940.
He married Julia Larrabee,[3] daughter of Iowa governor William Larrabee and his wife, Anna Matilda Larrabee, on August 18, 1891. Though childless, they adopted an orphan boy, Charles Burton Robbins whom they raised as their own son. Charles Burton Robbins was buried in Arlington National Cemetery in 1943 with full military honors.[4]
Love is now remembered in Lincoln for his gifts to higher education:
In 1939, Love donated money to Union College to build an industrial building on campus and established a life annuity with the college a year later in 1940, two weeks before his death, that paid for the expansion of the Love Building to house a broom shop and a furniture factory. The Don Love Building at Union College has since been renovated and now houses the Ella Johnston Crandall Library, Campus Store, Career Center, Student Center, Teaching Leaning Center and the International Rescue and Relief (IRR) program.
