Note: Although his obituary notes he was buried in Evergreen Cemetery, as of this posting there is only one LOVING burial there: that of Eliza A. LOVING, wife of Christopher J. LOVING, Jr.. When local genealogists read the cemeteries in the 1960s and 1970s, James M. LOVING was found in Fiedler Cemetery. A photo of his gravestone is listed on the Iowa Gravestone Photo Project and linked from the Fiedler Cemetery listing on the Jefferson County IAGenWeb webpage.
