The 1878 Camden City Directory shows the Lovett family residing at 211 Market Street in Camden. The Lovetts had moved to 815 Market Street by the time the Census was taken in 1880. Isaac Lovett Jr. had married in the mid-1870s. He, wife Lizzie, and daughters Ethel and Alice lived with his parents and sister Emma at 815 Market Street at the time of the Census enumeration. Isaac Lovett Jr. was then working as a bricklayer. Isaac Lovett Jr. and his family moved to 924 Market Street in 1883 but only stayed there for a year or so before returning to 815 Market Street. He also became active in local politics as a Republican in these years.

Isaac Lovett Jr. was still living at 924 Market Street and working as a bricklayer when, in the spring of 1884, he was appointed to the Camden Fire Department to serve as an extra man with the Hook and Ladder Company, taking the place of Robert Miller. When the Fire Department was reorganized on July 1, 1885 and eighteen of the extra men were let go, Isaac Lovett was among those who were laid off. By that time he and his family had returned to 815 Market Street. Isaac Lovett was reappointed as an extra man on August 16, 1886 and served through 1890. He continued working as a bricklayer. The Lovett family remained at 815 Market Street through 1894. By March of 1895 the Lovetts had moved to 617 Market Street. Sadly, on March 12, 1895 Isaac Lovett Sr. passed away. The Lovetts were still living at 617 Market Street when the 1900 Census was taken. At that time the family consisted of Isaac Lovett Jr., wife Elizabeth, daughters Alice, Lulu, and Lea, and son Elmer. By March of 1903 the Lovetts moved to 833 Elm Street, where they remained through 1910.

Isaac Lovett Jr. had worked as a bricklayer during the 1890s. On May 26, 1898 he was appointed to the Camden Police Department. Isaac Lovett Jr. worked as a Camden Police officer for over eight years before resigning on November 19, 1906.

Still a staunch Republican, By 1914 Isaac Lovett had been appointed to a position as a bridge tender, working at either the State Street bridge or the Federal Street drawbridge.  Isaac Lovett Jr. is listed in the 1914 Camden City Directory at 809 Elm Street, and was still residing there when the 1918-1919 Directory was compiled.

The 1920 Census shows Isaac Lovett residing at 628 North 9th Street with one of his daughters. Sadly, he was by this time a widower. By 1924 he had remarried and was living with his wife Emeline at 427 North 9th Street. He was still working as a bridge tender.

Isaac Lovett is not listed in the 1927 or 1929 Camden City Directories, or the 1930 Census. It is probable, given his age, that he passed away in the mid-1920s.
