   JOSEPH LUFF deceased, was born in Tinicum township April 
15, 1826, and died in Northampton April 3, 1871. His father 
was David Luff, who married Sarah Garris and who died in 
Philadelphia in July, 1874. Their children were:  
Catherine, Anna, Rebecca, Elmira and Samuel, now living, and 
Alfred, Sarah and Joseph, deceased. In 1859 he bought a 
farm in Northampton township, on which he lived until his 
death. He was an intelligent, shrewd man, who in his later 
years endeavored by studious application to make up for his 
early disadvantages. On October 17, 1861, he married Alice 
McDowell, who was born in West Philadelphia November 24, 
1832. Mr. and Mrs. Luff had four children:  Susannah, 
Sallie, Lizzie and Samuel. After her husband's death Mrs. 
Luff sold the farm in Northampton township and bought the 
one which is now her home. With rare energy and good 
judgment she has carried on her farm and brought her family 
up.
