Lovett

CHARLES N. LOVETT was born in Philadelphia PA June 17, 1885 to Alexander and Mary Lovett. He had a brother, Alexander, and two sisters, Margaret Eva and Ellen. 

At 15 Charles N. Lovett was apprenticed to a lithographer, but did not follow that line of work later in life. The family moved to Pennsauken NJ during the 1900s, and by 1910 Charles Lovett was working as an electrician. He married Anna Holstein at the age of 28. Charles Lovett was the proprietor of a business at 3629 Westfield Avenue for well over over 20 years, from the mid 1920s through the late 1970s. His business originally began as a radio repair shop, but he soon transitioned into work as an electrician and selling electrical supplies. By the late 1950s the business had entirely shifted to electrical contracting.

Charles and Anna Lovett lived at 3629 Westfield Avenue at the time of the 1930 census. He later moved to Pennsauken NJ, where he was lived until his passing in August of 1968. His son succeeded him in business, and carried it forward until his retirement.  

Charles Lovett's sister Margaret married Harry A. Stark. Her father-in-law, Christian S. Stark Sr., served for 23 years on the Camden Fire Department.

COURT FREES 2 YOUTHS IN SMASHING WINDOW

Two youths, charged with breaking a large plate glass window in front of an East Camden store last night, were set free upon request of the man who signed the complaint against them when they were arraigned in police court today.

Charles N. Lovett, owner of a radio shop at 3629 Westfield Avenue, testified that he was counting the day’s receipts when he heard the crash of glass. Running to the street, he saw two boys fleeing. He gave pursuit in an automobile and caught the pair.

Edmund Aristine, 17 years old, 3502 Westfield Avenue, and Walter Heinemann, 18 years old, 225 North Thirty-Second Street, denied they had broken the window and were set free when Lovett explained that the window had been paid for and asked that the charge be dropped..
