Luther was one of eleven children. By the time he was 16 the family was living in Birch, Braxton County, West Virginia and Luther was attending school and working the farm with his father and brothers.
He meets and falls in love with Mary Chestina Carden sending her letters proclaiming his unending friendship, he buys her books signing them with this same bold statement. This courtship goes on for some time until on 21 June 1894 they marry.
Luther has the most beautiful penmanship and teaches at school in Braxton County. Luther also works on the family farm but by 1910 he has taken advantage of the opportunity to manage a store in the mining town of Henry, Clay County, West Virginia. He becomes the owner and works in the store until his death on 26 July 1937.
