Founder of Laney buried Monday
    Thos. Lutsey was man who has left behind example of good life Thomas H. Lutsey, a highly respected and prominent retired farmer of Laney, died at his home Saturday after a lingering illness of many months.
    Thomas H. Lutsey was born in Slocum township, Lucerne county, Pennsylvania January 25th, 1855, and there he spent his early boyhood, coming west with his parents to New London, Waupaca county, Wisconsin, when a youth of ten and living there with his parents during his young manhood. By 1876 he took up his residence at Laney, Shawano county, Wisconsin, where he lived an active and useful life engaging in mercantile and agricultural pursuits. Always enjoying and seeking the companionship of friends, his energy, honesty, genial disposition and desire to help others won for him a host of friends, increasing as the years passed by among young and old alike.
    In 1879 he was married to Catherine Magee, to which happy union were born seven children, two of which died in infancy.
    Death came to the deceased Oct. 16, 1920, at the age of 65 years 8 months and 21 days. The deceased leaves to mourn his demise his widow, one sister, Mrs. James McMillion of Crandon, Wisconsin, two brothers, Miles Lutsey of Laney and Leonard Lutsey of Oshkosh, five children, C. J. Lutsey of Pittsfield, Roy Lutsey, of Zachow, Mrs. R. C. Wendt of Bonduel, James E. Lutsey of Milwaukee, and Hugh E. Lutsey of Laney, and nine grandchildren.
    The decased together with his bereaved wife have been members of the M. E. Church of Angelica for years and always took an active interest in the work of the church in its various fields of endeavor. Practical Christianity as set forth in a life of kindness and helpfulness can find no better example than was the deceased. Service to others was to him a first consideration. Socially he was a member of the Modern Woodmen of America and of the Odd Fellows Lodge.
    The spirit of determination and resoluteness gave him that habit of industry and uncomplaining disposition which has so forcibly characterized his entire life and was a dominant feature during his prolonged and fatal illness.
    Men have won greater renown; men have achieved higher positions; men have amassed larger fortunes; but as a private citizen, a friend and neighbor, a husband and father, the deceased has won a place in the hearts of his friends and bereaved family which time will not erase or his abscense from our midst diminish.
    The funeral was held Monday afternoon with a short service at the house at one o’clock and with the funeral service at the Methodist church in Angelica at two o’clock. The Oddfellows and the Woodmen of Angelica attended in a body. Fifteen representatives from the Shawano Oddfellows Lodge went out to pay their respects. The services were conducted by Rev. Allen, pastor of the Angelica Methodist church and Rev. Williams, superintendent of the Appleton district. The pall-bearers were all immediate relatives of the deceased. The funeral was one of the largest ever held in that neighborhood and interment was made in what is known as the Magee cemtery.
