Funeral services for Carl F. Lucht, 88, who died at his home in Spokeville on Tuesday May 25, were conducted at 2 p.m. last Friday in Trinity Lutheran church, with the Rev. J. C. Langholz officiating.

Mr. Lucht was born in Germany on Sept. 10, 1859, and came to the United States when 22 years old, settling in Braddock, Pa., where he had employment in a steel mill for seven years. He was married to Miss Emilie Iwan in that city on Sept. 20, 1882.
