 New London – Henry Lutsey, 77, died suddenly after a short illness at about 11 o’clock Saturday morning at the Community hospital. He is survived by one daughter in Chicago and his cousin, Elwood Lutsey of this city. His funeral was conducted on Tuesday at 1: 30 o’clock at the Masonic temple. Interment will be in Floral Hill cemetery.
 In the death of Mr. Lutsey, New London loses one of her oldest and most interesting characters. He was a free lance photographer, jeweler, musician and printer. He knew the early years of New London when river men roamed the streets between boats; when the log runners talked nightly in the dim gleam of the candle. Mr. Lutsey compiled lectures, one of which was called “The Story of the North Woods,” won him considerable fame throughout the state. He was a geologist and a musician of note. He organized and taught the first bands ever organized in Shawano and Clintonville and was New London’s oldest member of the Masonic lodge.
