LUTHER CEMETERY Luther Cemetery , located 4 miles East of Valparaiso, Indiana on the Airport road which is parallel to Highway #30, North side of this blacktop road. Cemetery tombstones copied y Mrs. George W. Chester, and Mrs. Josephus C. Blachly for the William Henry Harrison Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, at Valparaiso, Indiana in the year of 1960. Data copied from the records of Porter County Library Genealogy Dept. by Jill Blomberg. The cemetery is still in use, but in very bad condition. There is no grass through most of the cemetery, and lots of brush and fallen tree limbs. Lots of headstones are broken or laying on the ground. Mud is ankle deep in many places. I went out and added a couple pages of data and made some corrections to the old data, but finally gave up fighting the mud.
