Bio

Donald Dwight Luther was the son of Vida Virginia Wilson Luther and Daniel J. Luther of LaCrescent Minnesota. He was born May 7th 1917 and died on August 23rd 1921. At the time, he was living with his parents and brother and sisters at Tabernash Colorado, where his father was working on the Moffatt Railroad tunnel through the Rockies. The Company building the Tunnel decided to have a summer picnic, which was "Pot-luck"...... you know how little kids love to put olives on their fingers and then eat them off? Donald loved Olives! Unfortunately for our dear sweet boy, he ate olives that were home canned, and tainted with botulism. Being in the top of the Rockies, and no medical services equipped to handle poisoning, he died from eating those tainted olives. He was/is sadly missed by his family, mom and dad especially, but brother and sisters alike. Rest well dear brother - we miss you!
