General Notes: Husband - William Edward Lutz


He was educated in the public schools of Knox, Clarion County, Pennsylvania, where he completed the high school course in 1909. Subsequently, he became an apprentice undertaker under his brother, A. N. Lutz, in Girard, Pennsylvania, and continued there until January, 1915, when he secured his license as an undertaker. Thus qualified, he bought out the business of B. F. Keefer at Emlenton, in partnership with Clarence Shorts, and for nine years continued in business there as a member of the firm of Shorts and Lutz. At the end of that time, in 1923, he sold out his interest to his partner and moved to Warren, where he purchased the business of H. L. Greenlund, an established local undertaker. This he conducted at No. 341 Pennsylvania Avenue until 1932. In the latter year, Mr. Lutz purchased a property at No. 212 Market Street and converted it into a completely modern funeral home, the first funeral home open to the public in Warren. Mr. Lutz spent two winters at the Eckles College of Embalming in Philadelphia and was a graduate of that college.
Mr. Lutz was a member of the Pennsylvania State and the American Funeral Directors Associations. In addition to his business and professional connections, he was active in civic affairs and Republican politics and for eight years served on the Warren Borough Council, having supervision over borough parks and playgrounds. He was a member of the Warren Chamber of Commerce and the Rotary Club; was vice-president of the Warren Young Men's Christian Association and a former member of the Executive Board of the Warren Boy Scouts of America. Fraternally, he was affiliated with Allegheny Valley Lodge, No. 599, Free and Accepted Masons, at Emlenton, of which he was a Master, and with the various higher Masonic bodies, including the Royal Arch Chapter and Commandery of the Knights Templar in Warren; the Scottish Rite bodies of the Lodge of Perfection and the Consistory at Coudersport; and Zem Zem Temple, Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine in Erie. Mr. Lutz was also a member of Warren Lodge, No. 223, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, the Conewango Club of Warren and the Conewango Valley Country Club. A Presbyterian in religious faith, he was an elder of the First Presbyterian Church in Warren and for two terms was a trustee. He was fond of outdoor life and sports, particularly fishing and golf, and owned a tract of land comprising seventy-nine acres in Mead Township, where he set out over twenty-two thousand evergreen seedlings of various species.


General Notes: Wife - Marion F. Jackson


A descendant of old American families, she was a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, in which she was Past Regent of the Warren Chapter, a member of the Women's Club of Warren and of the First Presbyterian Church.
