Luther was born in Ohio about 1821 and lived in Indiana where he married Marian Hutchinson. Several children were born there, including Albert, Angeline and Algernon. Since Henry was born in Iowa and was 8 according to the census taken in 1856, Luther and Marian moved to Burlington about 1848. 1850 Federal census shows residence in Burlington Ward 1 (Roll M432_183 Page 477B Image 313)and Luther's occupation was a cabinet maker. 1856 Iowa census shows same residence (Roll IA-53 line 14 family # 15), occupation is sawyer (one who works in a saw mill - consistent with cabinet maker). Luther appears in the 1860 federal census residing in Burlington city. He does not appear in the 1870 federal census, where Marian lives with son Henry in the village of Inconium.
