Dr. Love eventually returned to further his medical education in New York after these early years in southern New Mexico.

However, when El Paso was reached, my mother refused to cross the state line out of the great state of Texas. They settled here and so began my father's years of practice in the El Paso area." - by Cornelia Love Owen "Dr. Love, who lives in the Lower Valley, is El Paso's nationally known doctor who invented the first trailer hospital for civilian use.
