| Notes |
Frank Anton and Katherine [Conrad] Lutz immigrated to America in May of 1847 and settled in Pennsylvania. According to family stories, they lived at Elizabethtown, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, but we first find them in the 1850 census living in the Borough of Lebanon, Lebanon County, Penn. Frank Anton Lutz's occupation is given as a carpenter. In the same census, we also find Libourius and Rachel Conrad living in the Borough of Lebanon. By 1855, Frank Anton Lutz had moved to Peoria, Illinois, where they lived about 9 years.
On January 25, 1864, Frank Lutz purchased 140 acres of land in Sections 17 and 27, Twp. 75, Rge. 10 in Clear Creek Township, Keokuk County, Iowa from John Shockley for $1800.00. He purchased additional land at later dates. On December 29, 1898, Frank Lutz sold his farm, then consisting of 300 acres, to his son-in-law, Frank B. Vogel, but remained on the farm living with his daughter and son-in-law until his death in 1906. This farm land remained in the Vogel families until 1953, when part of it was sold to Dean Morris. This balance of the farm was sold in 1957 to James F. Greiner.
On February 25, 1875, F. A. Lutz purchased 160 acres described as NW 1/4 of Sec. 2, Twp. 75, Rge. 10, just south of where Highway 92 is now located. On April 22, 1879, he sold this land as follows: 40 acres to his son, Jacob; 40 acres to his son-in-law, George Greiner; and 80 acres to his son-in-law, Joseph Pfifer. An Additional 80 acres described as the W 1/2 SE 1/4 of Sec. 35, Twp. 76, Rge. 10 that F. A. Lutz purchased May 7, 1874 was sold to his son, Frances, on April 22, 1881.
In addition to farming, Frank Lutz was a carpenter and built his home of mostly walnut timber. He had a vineyard and made wine for the priests to use at Mass. He also had a large orchard and grafted his own trees and had a large blackberry patch.
The 1880 Agricultural Census of Keokuk County, Iowa, shows the following information concerning the Frank Anton Lutz farm:
106 acres tilled land 38 acres grass land mown165 swine

DEATH OF A PIONEER
Thursday A.M. at 2 o'clock occurred the death of Frank Lutz Sr. at the home of his son-in-law, Frank Vogel, at Clear Creek, Iowa. His demise caused by the infirmities of old age connected with kidney and bladder trouble of about a years duration. He came to America about 60 years ago, locating first in Pennsylvania there to continue his professional trade as a carpenter. From there he came to Iowa some 43 years ago settling down on the very place where he died. He was always very industrious and an upright and intelligent character loyal to his church and consequently highly respected by all who know him.
He with his brother in law Jacob Conrad who died 10 months ago were pioneer settlers in this country having done great deeds of admiration for the good of church and state. He is survived by 10 children who mourn his loss. Jacob in Kansas, Frank, Mrs. Geo. Greiner, Mrs. Peter Peiffer, Mrs. Jos. Peiffer all of Clear Creek Township, Mrs. Geo Vogel of Talleyrand, Mrs. Frank Vogel, Mrs. Nic Flander of Clear Creek, Henry Berg and John Lutz of Kansas.
