Headley, Jr. /VA#1820 *SINCE 1945* TERMS: 18% Buyer's Premium Summary of Ernest T. Love estate collection. Ernest Temple Love, Jr. was born on November 26, 1928 in Washington, D.C. to Ernest Temple Love, Sr. and Elizabeth Love, n�e Heitmuller. Ernest Temple Love, Sr. was part of a well-known farm family in Purcellville, VA. His father was Fenton Mercer Love and his mother was Gertrude T. Love, n�e Woolfe. Elizabeth Heitmuller was born in Washington, D.C. to Anton Heitmuller and Dora Heitmuller, n�e Roeder. Anton Heitmuller owned a store for collectibles in Washington, D.C. at 1307 14th Street, NW. He specialized in autographs, manuscripts, and other ephemera. He imparted his love of collecting to his daughter Elizabeth. She inherited the bulk of his collection and continued to buy and sell as she traveled around the country and world. In the early 1950s Elizabeth and Ernest, Sr. moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico. Elizabeth then developed a love of the crafts of the local Native American groups. Ernest Love, Sr. died in 1966. In the late 1970s, Elizabeth moved to Anchorage, Alaska to live with her son Ernest, Jr. Upon her death in 1981, she willed the remainder of her collection and family effects to Ernest, Jr. Ernest Love, Jr. moved to Anchorage, AK in 1969 and started a business in the mid-1970s. That business experienced explosive growth. The effort of running the business along with the remoteness of Alaska prevented him from selling the collectible and family effects. In 2012, Ernest Love, Jr. shipped the entire set of collectibles to his son Craig Love, who happened to live in Winchester, VA- only 30 miles from the family home and 87 miles from Anton�s store location in Washington, D.C. Ernest T. Love, Jr. died in 2014.
