General Notes: Husband - Luther A. Kuhn


He was educated in the common schools and at the age of eighteen years he became a clerk in a general store at Bedford, Ohio, later entering into business under the firm name of Voght & Kuhn, in the grocery line, at Cleveland, occupying a building near the city market-house, which was owned by Mr. Kuhn's father. Six months later Mr. Kuhn sold his interest and went to Muscatine, Iowa, where he bought a farm of eighty acres, subsequently selling this at an advantage and buying 160 acres, to which he later added a second farm of the same area. These farms he operated for many years, when he sold one, but retained the other, which he rented. In 1867, Mr. Kuhn came back to Northfield Township for a few years and then returned with his wife to Iowa, where he continued to live until 1904. In that year he again came to Northfield Township and took up his residence on what was formerly the McConneaughey farm, which he had bought in 1902. It formerly contained 120 acres, but six acres were sold to the Lake Erie & Pennsylvania Railroad.
