HAZZARD'S HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY.
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF WILLIAM JAMES BROWN LUTHER.
PRIVATE, COMPANY E, 132ND INFANTRY REGIMENT, INDIANA VOLUNTEERS, AND MERCHANT.
William James Brown Luther was born in Greensburg, Decatur County, Indiana, January 25, 1843, his father being a native of Rhode Island and his mother of Pennsylvania. When he was about three years of age, his parents moved to Shelbyville, Indiana, and it was at the latter place that he spent his childhood days. William Luther, his father, suffered from ill health for a number of years and died at Shelbyville in 1861, the son being at that time eighteen years of age. After the death of his father, William J. B. Luther became for several years the main support of his widowed mother and four younger children. Later his mother having again married and the other children having become to some extent self supporting, he was left free to look after his own interests.
The care of the fatherless family which had devolved upon him so early in life had undoubtedly matured his judgment and hardened his resolution but had pre- vented his accumulation of any capital other than his native energy and de- termination. In the last years of the Civil War, while living at Shelbyville, he enlisted as a private in company E, 132nd Indiana Infantry, and was mustered into the service of the United States May 18, 1864. All of his military service with this regiment was confined to the States of Tennessee and Alabama. He was mustered out of the service September 7, 1864, and returned to Shelbyville where he continued to live until about the year 1867, when he accepted a position with Eli Johnson of Indianapolis, to drive a peddler's wagon through the country, selling tinware and other articles of merchandise, at the same time buying outright or receiving butter, eggs, rags and other products in exchange for the commodities carried by him for sale. In the early days not only of Indiana but of all the pioneer States, the advent of the peddler in the farmhouse or settlement distant from the centres of trade was a great event, and the shrewdness of bargaining with which the business was conducted on both sides would have done credit to the keenest of traders in the cities, and it is in fact from this school that many of the country's most successful men have come. Mr. Luther remained in this business for two years during which he was able to save about eight hundred dollars out of his salary and with this capital, he started in business for himself. On December 25, 1869, he was united in marriage with Melvina Murray of Blountsville, Henry County, Indiana, and in the month of January following, he established himself permanently in Blountsville. Immediately after locating there, Mr. Luther and his wife's brother, Alvin R. Murray, purchased the drug store of House and Williams and continued the business for a year or two, when the partnership was dissolved by Mr. Luther purchasing the interest of his brother-in-law, Mr. Luther continuing the business alone until 1884. Considering the opportunities for trade presented by the town, he has been eminently successful from a business point of view. Mrs. Luther owned by inheritance a considerable property in her own right, but Mr. Luther in the management of their affairs has always kept the same separately invested, no part of it being used for the benefit of his own business. Undoubtedly his business success may be ascribed to his own sagacity
