History and lore

The family Bible records Luther’s birth at Pleasant Ridge, Fulton County, Pennsylvania, on 14 April 1904, in the same hand as the entries for James O. Mellott and Laura F. E. Deshong just above, which suggests he was their first child. Six younger brothers and sisters followed, all born at Saluvia.
