    Notes:

    Luther had a fine sense of humor and priceless smile. He was a strict and respected father.

    Luther and Elsie devoted their time to stimulating their children's ambitions. When the boys were in their teens, they decided they would like to raise chickens. Instead of giving the boys the initial investment, Luther took them to the bank and the transaction was handled in a business- like manner. Because the boys were minors, Luther endorsed their note, but the boys paid it all back in a year and a half, as they sold chickens and eggs.

    Luther was always busy at something. He became interested in automobiles when they were new and kept abreast, all his life. He was a skilled mechanical engineer and was foreman of A.Y.Gray Company in Poultney, manufacturers of Ruggles engines. The plant burned down just after World War I. Luther then turned to selling Pierce Arrow automobiles, and he was still in the automobile business when he died. He was always fixing automobiles and his son recalls that before garages were common, the back yard was always full of cars which he fixed for his friends.

    When he was in his late fifties, he developed a great interest in the old family homestead and farm which at that time was owned by his son, Durward Stephen. Although Elsie would not go there to live. Luther took over the direction of the farm and it is one of the few times that the farm made money.

    Luther and Elsie both coordinated well and liked sports and dancing. They lived in Poultney, Vermont until about 1920 when they moved to Rutland, Vermont. Luther was a Mason, and Warden of the Episcopal vestry in both places.
