This is a bio. sketch from "History of Manitowoc County Wisconsin"

by Dr. L. Falge, 1911-1912, v.2, p.457-458.

Edward Lutze, Jr., who began life as a farm emplove in Centerville

township, Manitowoc county, embarked in the cheese making business in 1908,

and has since been thus engaged. He was born in that township, December 16,

1878, a son of Edward Lutze, Sr., a native of Germany whose family

emigrated to the new world when he was five years of age. The grandfather

was Gottlieb Lutze, who was born in Saxony, Germany, and emigrated to the

United States, settling in Manitowoc county in 1848. He lived here until

about thirty one years ago, when his death occurred. Edward Lutze, Sr., in

early life engaged in the shoemaking business and continued in the same

line at one location for twelve years, after which he engaged in farming on

one hundred and twenty acres of land which he purchased and upon which he

made his home until 1908, when he retired from active life.

Edward Lutze, Jr., is one of seven children born to his parents, being the

fourth in order of birth. He was given a good common-school education and

for a time after attaining his majority was employed at farm work. In 1908

he engaged in the cheese business and has since continued in this line,

being very successful in his business.

Mr. Lutze was married, June 6, 1906, to Miss Erna Klessig, a daughter of

Adolph Klessig, who is mentioned elsewhere in this work. To this union two

children have been born. Norma and Hertha. Mr. Lutze is among the younger

business men of the county but he has met with success in his undertakings

and is well and favorably known in his community. He is very industrious

and has evinced a rare skill in his chosen occupation. His business has

developed in a most satisfactory manner and his trade is increasing yearly,

owing to his ability in handling his affairs. The family stands high,

being greatly esteemed by their large number of close personal friends.
