JACOB C. LUTZ, general merchant and banker, Gardner. The subject of this sketch. whose portrait appears in this history. was born in Wurtemberg, Germany, February 13. 1844. He was the son of Jacob B. and Kath- arina (Kern) Intz, the former a native of Ger- many, born January 27, 1812, the latter born in 1814. To them were born three children- Christina, wife of John Weber, of Kansas ; Jacob C., subject ; Carrie, wife of Henry Fey, of Morris. The family moved to this country in the summer of 1855, stopping in Cleveland. Ohio, six months, and in Chicago one year, when they moved to Minooka, this county. The father was a carpenter by occupation ; limited in means ; died in Morris in 1879; the mother is still living. Our lad Jacob was put to herding cattle for R. Gardner, an extensive farmer and merchant of Minooka. The second year, he hired to the same party to do chores for $70; was employed a part of the time in the store, where he soon became very efficient. So competent and faithful did he prove that his employer retained him as clerk for seven years. When twenty-one, he had aeenmulated $500, and with a partner opened a flour and feed store in Chicago. This proved unprofita- ble, and in six months he returned to Minooka with only $200. He took his old place in Gardner's store for a little time, when he went to Morris and clerked in the store for J. J. Irwin. In March, 1867, with $475 of his own and $1,000 borrowed money, he, in company with Charles Foote, opened a " general store " in Gardner, The first year's receipts were

BIOGRAPHICAL:
$32,000, and Lutz paid his borrowed money in ten months. After four years, he was able to buy out his partner's interest, and, notwith- standing the increased competition, his first year's sales reached $62,000. Four years since, he took Eli Eldred as partner, and with a stock of $20,000 the firm is commanding a profitable business. A few years since, in | company with C. K. Snyder and others, he went into the grain and lumber trade, and is now, in company with Louis Germain, buying and shipping grain. The business has been well conducted, and has been of considerable profit. With the means he had saved in his business, about five years ago he began buying real estate, adding from time to time, until, at this writing, he has 2,180 acres. His lands are in Greenfield and Braceville, and comprise some prodnetive farms, which are being hand- somely improved. Two years since, Mr. Lutz started the Bank of Gardner, making W. V. D. Bishop Cashier. The enterprise is yet young, but of goodly promise. J. C. Lutz was mar- ried to Annie Bowers at Minooka April 8, 1868, Leander Smith, Justice of the Peace, making the nuptial tie. She was born at Clif- ton Springs, N. Y., February 5, 1846 ; was the daughter of William and Martha (Weston) Bowers, of English nativity. He died near Vieksburg, while in the service of his country. She is still living at Minooka. Mr. and Mrs. Lutz have. six children, all born in Gardner- Carrie Louisa, born January 27, 1869; Annie Katharina, January 10, 1871 ; Bernhardt Otto, November 23, 1872; Jacob Charles,. August 12, 1874; Robert G. Ingersoll, March 18, 1879 ; Carl Henry, March 12, 1881. Owing to the financial condition of his parents, Mr. Lutz had early in life to depend upon his own labor for support, and consequently his chanees for education were quite limited. Nature gave him a mind to think and a memory to retain. With these endowments, coupled with industri- ous habits, using his leisure moments for read-
ing, he has gained a very thorough knowledge of business, and in the general news of the day he is well versed. Financially, he has been successful in an eminent degree. Begin- ning his career with nothing save a determina- tion to win, he has, while yet but middle-aged, made an ample fortune. While desirous of adding to his estate, he is hospitably inelined, many a poor unfortunate receiving aid and comfort at his hands. In politics, he is a Re- publiean, in religion, a Liberal. In his home, he is cheerful and affectionate, in health gener- ously providing for every want of wife and children, and in sickness caring for them with devoted tenderness. Mrs. Lutz is a woman of pleasing address and good judgment, earing but little for society, but attached to husband and children by the strongest ties. The will of the father and the little ones is the mother's pleasure, and to sacrifice for their good is no dliseomfort. Her every-day life and record prove her worthy of the husband she has chosen and the children she has borne.
