The town of Lovell, situated in Section 2, on the C, H. V. & T. Railroad, was laid out by Lovell B. Harris, from whom it was named two years after that road was constructed. The post office was established at the same time. The village has one store, one church, one blacksmith shop, a shoe shop and a flouring mill. The latter was built in 1877 by Daniel and William A. Walborn, at a cost of $6,500. The building is a two-story frame structure, 26x40 feet. The mill was put in operation by the Walborn firm, which has since conducted it. It has two runs of buhrs, with a capacity of twenty barrels per day. A saw mill is run in connection, requiring the aid of four workmen.
