Grand Rapids Press, 16 Oct 1918

Lake Odessa, Oct. 16 – A telegram has been received by Mrs. Howard Lawrence of
this place stating her brother, Musician Olin C. Luther, 122nd field artillery,
died of wounds Sept. 15.

Luther, as a member of the National Guard, left his school work at Michigan
Agricultural college at the time of the Mexican trouble and served on the
border.  Later he was given an honorable discharge because of an injury.  At the
opening of the present hostilities he enlisted in the 122nd field artillery at
Chicago and being a musician was given a place in the band.  He had lived and
made his home at this place about 10 years and since his parents moved away he
had made his home with his sister, Mrs. Lawrence.  He leaves his father and
mother, Mr. and Mrs. A.T. Luther, of Rochelle, Ill., two brothers, Edward T. of
Portland, Ore., and Earl O. of Chicago, and two sisters, Mrs. B.F. Carter and
Mrs. Lawrence of this place.
