Charles Loveland was born in La Crosse, WI on October 21, 1881. As a young man, he worked for the Aiken-Gleason Camera Company, and also worked for the Pamperin & Wiggenhorn Cigar Company as a shipping clerk. In 1907, he married Clara Ebner, and they had four children: Ruth, Charles Jr., Donald, and Warren. In 1915, Charles began working for the Northern Engraving Company as a photograph engraver, nameplate manufacturer, and commercial artist, and soon partnered with James Novak after his cofounder, James Christell, retired. By 1922, he was treasurer of the company, and by 1932 was its president. He remained president of the company until circa 1948, when he likely retired. Charles passed away in La Crosse on December 16, 1951. |
