LOVEJOY, ANDREW JAMES (1845–1919), inducted 1913
Andrew Lovejoy helped establish the hog shows at the International Live Stock Exposition in the early years and was a director of the expo. He was also president in 1913, the year his portrait was added to the collection. Lovejoy was an esteemed breeder of Berkshire hogs on his farm near Roscoe, Illinois, and he was in demand as a swine judge. He served on the Illinois State Board of Agriculture for twelve years; was president of both the Winnebago County and South Beloit fairs; and was elected to the Illinois general assembly. In 1914, he published the book, Forty Years Experience of a Practical Hog Man.
