ISLE OF WIGHT MERCURY
Friday, April 14, 1916 Page 4 We regret to hear of the death, which occurred on April 3rd, in Scotland, of
Lieutenant Tom Lovegod, R.N., a native of Ventnor, and who has several relatives
in the town. Lieut. Lovegod had a successful career in the Navy, and received
his commission for meritorious service. He retired a few years ago, but on the
outbreak of war was given command of a small vessel. His death resulted from
the effects of a seizure. Lieut. Lovegod, who was 61 years of age, was accorded
full Naval honours at the funeral, and every respect possible was paid to his memory.
