Lewis Henry Luman was born in Harrison Township, Muskingum Co., Ohio, 
Sept 4, 1853 being 69 years four months and 19 days of age. He spent 
his life on the farm on which he was born. His life was, therefore, 
that of an industrious and skillful tiller of the soil.  As a citizen, 
he took great interest in public affairs of which he kept himself well 
informed.  His private life and character were above reproach. He was 
firm in his conviction of right as between man and man. Any person in 
need always found Mr. Luman a ready and real helper. His religious 
convictions were always tied up with the Methodist church and was it 
strong supporter.

Mr. Luman is the last of a large family all of whom preceded him to
the spirit land many years ago.  His parents departed this life when 
he was about 15 years old. There were four brothers: James, George, 
Asbury, and John; and four sisters: Francis, Ellen, Rebecca and Amanda.
All the children lived to maturity.

Mr Luman held offices of public trust and always preformed those duties to 
the satisfaction of his neighbors and friends.

He was married to Elizabeth Harrop, March 4, 1875. To this union were born 
nine children, five sons and four daughters. Annah Leota who preceded him to 
the spirit world at the age of 18 years 6 months and four days. Those left to 
mourn his los are his faithful wife, sons and daughters, Rufus and Clara of 
Roseville, Everett and Montford of Anita, Iowa, Mary and Normal of 
Zanesville, Nellie of Philo, and Albert of the home.  There are also 15 
grandchildren and two great grandchildren. These are all members of 
prosperous families.

     A precious one from us has gone,
     A voice we loved is still,
     A chair is vacant in our home,
     Which never can be filled.
