The Citizen Patriot (McDonald, Kansas) - January 11, 1917
AN OLD PIONEER GONE
Word was passed around town Saturday afternoon that "Old Father Time" had again visited our town, taking with him another one of our old pioneers, G. M. Lutz.
Grandpa Lutz had been in poor health for some time and within the last week had been growing weaker, until on Saturday afternoon his soul fled to the great "Beyond".
G. M. Lutz was born in the state of Virginia on July 7, 1836, and in his early boyhood days moved to Illinois with his parents. He joined the 84th Illinois Infantry at the beginning of the Civil War and served his country faithfully for three long years.
In the early days of western Kansas when people were few and far between, Mr. Lutz moved with his wife and children to McDonald, where they have since continued to reside. He was united in marriage to Mary E. Lutz, August 1, 1867, and to this union there were three children born, Walton G. Lutz, of Bird City, Kansas, Jessie M. Huffman and Minnie M. Trueblood [ed. - Minnie M. Tingley], of McDonald.
There are nine grandchildren, besides his wife, children, and hosts of friends and neighbors who will miss him and who will mourn his loss deeply.
Mr. Lutz was converted to the Christian faith in his young manhood, uniting with the Congregational church of McDonald, of which he was a member at the time of his death.
The funeral was held at the Federated church in McDonald, Sunday afternoon, all his friends and neighbors expressing their sympathy and sorrow by being present. The church was crowded, there being the largest attendance which the writer has ever seen in McDonald. About fifty automobiles followed the remains in the auto hearse to their last resting place.
A very beautiful and touching sermon was delivered by Rev. Chas. Williams, of Brewster, Kansas, who took his text from 1st Cor. 15:6. After the services at the church interment was made in McDonald cemetery.
Grandpa Lutz, at the time of his death, Saturday afternoon, January 6, 1917, was 80 years and 6 months of age.
He was a kind and loving husband and father, a good friend and neighbor, and his loss will be felt by all.
As the years roll by "the Grand old Army of the Potomac" grows less.
We extend our sympathy to the entire family, relatives and friends in their saddest hour.
