  Wild, Luzerne A., was born on February 10, 1845, in the town of 
Butternuts, Otsego County, N.Y. He attended district school until 
fourteen years of age, after which he attended Gilbertsville Academy, 
Cazenovia Seminary, and Cooperstown High School. Several years of his 
life were spent in teaching. In 1862, while in Cazenovia Seminary, he 
was converted under the preaching of Professor E. G. Andrews (now

trouble, he was laid aside until 1894, when he so far recuperated as to 
be able to work again. In 1898 impaired health necessitated his
