Description

Melvin was born near Conicville, the son of Erasmus A. (1963-1917) and Virginia Catherine (Stickley) (1896-1965) Lutz.
When he registered for the WWI draft in June 1917, Melvin’s occupation was “miller” and his employer was his father. He still lived near Conicville.
He married Fleta Ivis (Sheetz) (1896-1965) Lutz in 1919. In both the 1930 and 1940 censuses, the couple lived in Edinburg where Melvin worked as an insurance salesman. The couple had a daughter, Mary Ann (Lutz) Williamson. Melvin’s widowed father-in-law, Linden A. Sheetz, also lived with them.
Melvin attended school at Roanoke College and was a life-long member of St. James Lutheran Church at Hudson’s Crossroads. He was also a member of the Edinburg Lions Club.
The Northern Virginia Daily newspaper published many brief notices over the years documenting Melvin’s community involvement and the activities of his family.
