Hide Profile

Luther, was born in April 1865 in Michigan. A slide in the collection is of the old Geo. H. Luther bridge in Lamont (Mich.), which may have been named in his or his father's honor, making it likely that he was raised in Lamont. In 1900 Luther and his wife, Mary A., lived in Chicago with their daughters, Bessie, age 5, and Jeannette, age 1. Luther then worked as a cashier in an office. They visited or perhaps moved to Chicago, 1898-1899, where they visited photographed buildings remaining from the Chicago World's Columbian Exposition, other sculptures, a parade, and two ships. By 1924 the family had moved to Los Angeles (Calif.). (This information is from the collection and AncestryPlau.com viewed in Jan. 2009.)
