Bremen Fairfield Co.<br />
<br />
Dear John Lutz,<br />
<br />
Glad to hear from you and (Phope)? When this letter reaches it’s destined front it may find you well. I have not been very well a few days in my belly at this time. Mother has been as well as common all fall but today she took a sick spell so she is not so well today. As regarding taking care of her, I will do that while I live and if I don’t get one cent. Of the children think that I should have something for taking care of her all is well it is not money that I am after but I have some respect for my mother and while here she shall not suffer. Some of the children is talking largely about her staying with me and I gave Noah the chance to keep her but he refused. Mother says that she wants to stay with me while she lives and she shall be cared for while she stays with me.<br />
<br />
As regards her being troublesome, she is but all old folks will get troublesome. ____? take delight in taking care of her from the fact that she took care of you and Pop the rest of the children for a long time and now we should return the compliment.<br />
<br />
I am sorry that when you were in that I knew nothing of the arrangement about hiring a girl to take care of mother. I knew nothing about that till of late. Perhaps the feelings amongst the children would be better if I had of knowing anything about it. As for the names of those who are medelling the one is friend (Sherburn?)and the other is Noah Lutz was not very clear. If you possibly can come in (to so and?) don’t reply for if you put it off to long you may not see her alive. Come as soon as you can. I have written this in the best of feeling towards you and all the respect.<br />
<br />
Write soon as you can.<br />
<br />

He gave me copies of 2 letters in the Breman OH museum. They are Lutz letters. This one that I transcribed is from Noah Lutz to his brother John Lutz. They are the sons of John D. Lutz and Louisa Leas. In the letter I wrote it just how it is written.<br />

<br />
<br />
Dear Brother, <br />
<br />
I received your letter on new years day and was glad to hear from you and to hear that you were well satisfied. Further I will tell you that we are all well and hoping that those few lines will find you all enjoying the same blessing of health and prosperity.<br />
<br />
Further I will tell you that I have plenty of work and am making it pay tolerable well. I made that sleid and sold it for 7 dollars cash and have three more to make. I have bought that house and lot of Bany that D. Hoilliard lived in one year and am paid 500 dollars for it now, but I want a woman if I can get one. I came near getting married last week, I asked a girl to marry and she swore she would not have me and I thought that I was doing very well for the first time on Christmas. I took my small ? to Zanesville and had a fine time. <br />
<br />
We had a dull new year in Bremen. The railroad and thunder and lightning telligraph is finished to Zanesville. <br />
<br />
I can not come out to see you till March for Blosser is going to go to Indianid, she 15 and will stay 4 weeks, but I will come in March and so I can git a house and lot in some town, I will come there next fall and make wagons for you.<br />
<br />
I can not tell you any news from Fairfield now, for things are as they use to be there, no change. Wheat has come down and that is a god’s blessing.<br />
<br />
Our protracted meeting will commence to ? and I suppose will have a fine time, my ink froze for it is very cold today. Tell ? that I will bring her a present when I come. <br />
<br />
No more at present, remaining your friend write soon as you git this and will write more the next time it is not cold. Now remember me. <br />
<br />
Write soon<br />
<br />
From Noah Lutz<br />
<br />
To John Lutz – Breman Ohio <br />

<strong>Here is alittle bit about this area.</strong><br />
<br />
The earliest known inhabitants in the Taneytown area were native Americans. The Tuscarora Indians hunted deer, otter, wolves, and wildcats in the area’s abundant woodlands. Before the arrival of white settlers, however, most native Americans had already migrated west over South Mountain in the Cumberland Valley. The Treaty of Six Nations, which was signed in Lancaster, Pennsylvania in 1745, offered white settlers protection from Indian attacks in Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia and made the ownership of land by white men legal.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The early European settlers were Germans from Pennsylvania and Germany. Taneytown was founded in 1754 when one of the area’s first land grants took place. Nearly 7,900 acres were granted to Edward Diggs and Raphael Taney under a patent designated as the Resurvey of Brothers Agreement. Lots were laid out and the first deeds registered in 1762. Raphael Taney, whose home was in St. Mary’s County, probably never lived here. He did, however, help design the town’s layout and gave it his name. One popular misconception is that the town was named for Roger Brooke Taney, a U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice. Judge Taney, who shared a common ancestor with Raphael Taney, was not born until 1777.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Given the long history of rural settlement, the City and surrounding area is rich in historic landmarks that continue to enhance and affect the character of the area. A portion of the City is designated as a Historic District with the National Register of Historic Places.<br />
<br />
Taneytown (TAW-nee-town) is a city in Carroll County, Maryland, United States. The population was 5,128 at the 2000 census. Taneytown was founded in 1754.<span style="background-color: white;"> <span style="color: orange;">Of the town George Washington once wrote "Tan-nee town is but a small place with only the Street through the road passes, built on. </span></span><br />
<br />
Carroll County was created in<strong> 1837</strong> from parts of Baltimore and <strong>Frederick Counties</strong>.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
During the American Civil War, the population of Carroll County was sharply divided between supporters of the Union and the Confederacy. In 1863, there were significant troop movements through the county as part of the Gettysburg campaign. On June 29, 1863, the cavalry skirmish known as Corbit's Charge was fought in the streets of Westminster, when two companies of Delaware cavalry attacked a much larger Confederate force under General J.E.B. Stuart.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Notable citizens of Carroll County include:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
* Francis Scott Key, author of the Star Spangled Banner, was born at his family plantation of Terra Rubra, in what is now northwestern Carroll County.<br />
<br />
* Whittaker Chambers, former communist and accuser of Alger Hiss<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

Several years later, Jacob Miller arrived, becoming the second settler in this community. The men named the town Middletown, since it was approximately equal distant to Lancaster to the west and Zanesville to the east. Soon residents changed the town's name to Somerset, as most early residents were from Somerset, Pennsylvania. <br />
<br />
In the 1810s, Somerset grew quickly and, in 1817, became the Perry County seat of government. In 1846, Somerset boasted a population of nearly 1,400 residents. That same year, the community included four churches, three newspapers, sixteen stores, an iron foundry, and a tobacco warehouse. The town also claimed a Catholic nunnery and St. Mary's Seminary, a school for young women. Two miles south of Somerset was also located St. Joseph's Church, the first documented Catholic Church in Ohio.<br />
<br />
By 1850, Perry County's population had reached nearly twenty thousand people. Many residents desired to relocate the county seat from Somerset, which is located in the northern part of the county, to New Lexington, a more centralized spot. The county seat moved to New Lexington by the start of the American Civil War. <br />
<br />
During the remainder of the nineteenth and the first portion of the twentieth centuries, Somerset's population remained stable at approximately 1,200 residents. Many residents earned their livings in the surrounding iron and coalmines. As iron and coal deposits began to decline, residents began to find employment in other industries principally in the nearby cities of Lancaster and Zanesville. In 2000, Somerset's population had reached 1,500 people.<br />
<br />
Civil War General Philip Sheridan spent much of his youth in Somerset. Although not open to the public, his home remains standing today<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Did you know that in the late 1800's Perry county was known to have the largest working coal mines in the world? People from all over the world came to work in these mines. The coal was used to make fires in furnaces that were cooking pig iron nuggets into iron used for making steel. After a purer grade of iron was found in the Great Lakes, the mines closed, and around 1900 there was an oil revolution and practically every yard had an oil well drilled because Perry county land was full of oil. Today farmers are in the county working organic farms on the land and raising non antibiotic fed cows and chickens for healthier eating options so that Perry county will continue to be a viable asset to the state of Ohio<br />

His parent's home, located at 417 S. Columbus St., was built in 1859 by General Sheridan for his parents and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The General's boyhood home is located at 114 W. Sheridan St. His famous ride from Winchester to Cedar Creek during the Civil War changed defeat into victory for the North and gave him national prominence. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

A old homestead in Somerset, Perry, OHAmy Lutz Coltrinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00282215685135735560noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2487218611082175672.post-84378064518672201592010-02-20T19:00:00.000-08:002010-02-20T19:38:47.074-08:00History Of The Lutz FamilyMichael Lutz was the son of Johan George Lutz of Germany, who arrived in Philadelphia in October 1749 on the ship Lydia. By 1753, (Johann)George Lutz was living near Strasburg, Lancaster co., PA. where his first daughter Maria Magdalena was baptized at St. Michael's Lutheran Church, and where Wendel Traut and his wife were named sponsors. Ancestors of Wendel Traut would later be a part of Perry Co. Ohio's early history. A second daughter Susanna was baptized there in 1754. Baptismal records are not extant for the time period when a 3rd daughter, Catherine Barbara and son Michael were born. Michael's headstone gives his birth date as 14 Dec 1763.<br />In 1757, George Lutz obtained a warrant for 57 acres of land located in Strasburg Township, Lancaster, PA. By 1770, when his son Michael was age 7, George Lutz moved to Frederick Co. Maryland, where he obtained 3 parcels of land near the town of Taneytown. It was there that Michael later met and wooed his bride Catherine Mohler, daughter of Jacob Mohler (son of Johann Heinrich Mohler)a german immigrant, who also lived in the Taneytown area. Michael and Catherine's 1st son John was born in Oct 1787. By the turn of the century 5 more children were born. In 1793, Michael's father George Lutz wrote his will in Frederick Co. namesing his 4 children. The will was witnessed by Jacob and Solomon Mohler. He died shortly thereafter.<br />No land record have been found for Michael Lutz in Frederick Co. MD. Most likely he was a tenant farmer or owned land that was given to him by his father, but unrecorded. In the Frederick Co. MD. 1800 Census Michael Lutes was named as head of household with his wife, 3sons and 3 daughters (several children born later).<br />In 1814 Michael and Catherine moved west to Perry Co. OHIO with all their children other than their son John D. Lutz and t heir daughter Catherine who had recently married John Sower, son of William. Son John D. Lutz married Louisa Leas in MD, and would later follow his parents.<br />Although Michael Lutz was named on the 1820 Somerset, Perry, OH Census, he did not purchase land until 1824 when a deed was recorded showing his acquisition of 56 acres of land near Somerset. Living nearby was Catherine's brother Solomon Mohler.<br />Meanwhile back in Fredrick, MD. Michael and Catherine Lutz's daughter Catherine Lutz Sower died in 1823, and her husband John died in 1826, leaving 4 yound orphan daughters. Catherine and Margaret (aka Rebecca) were then sent to be raised by their elder maternal grandparents in Perry Co. OH.<br />By 1825 all the daughters of Michael and Catherine Lutz had married. In 1839 Michael "Junior" (son of Michael and Catherine), who remained a bachelor all his life, bought the family farm from his mother and father for $1000, most likely with the stipulation that his parents could continue to live with him in the homestead. Father Michael died in 1843 and is buried in Somerset at the Evangelical Lutheran cemetery near his son George, who had died 3 yrs earlier. After the death of father Michael, son Michael assumed the title "Senior". Later his nephew Michael, (son of David Lutz), would be referred to in record as Michael JR.<br />In 1851 Cathrine Mohler Lutz died and was buried beside her son and husband.<br />In 1857, Michael Lutz "Jr." son of David, married his 1st cousin Rebecca (aka Margaret) Sowers, who was several yrs his senior. This union of first cousins would provide the blame for the ill health of many of their future descendants. They continues to live with their Uncle Michael. Later that year, their daughter Mary Catherine was born, and in 1860 a son John Albert was born. Prior to his death in 1874, Uncle Michael Lutz made a will leaving the family homestead to his nephew and niece Michael and Margaret Sower Lutz. a legacy was also left to niece Catherine Sower Griffin.<br />In April 1876, Michael and Mararet (aka rebecca) Lutz, deeded the homestead to their daughter and son Mary Catherine Lutz and John Albert Lutz. The Lutz family farm remained in the family until sometime in the 1950's when it was sold.<br /><br /><em></em><br /><em>Taken from Perry Co.
