Charles Wendell Clutz was a native of Bendena, Kansas. He was the second son of Claude Buffington Clutz and Edith E. Nesbit. Brother Frank was older and Claude was younger.
Charles married Lois Rumberger in 1934 in the Old Lutheran Church of Reformation, Rochester, NY.
They had four sons, Charles N. (Chic), James, Thomas and William. They bought, personally restored and lived in a 120 year old brick home at 164 Gibbs Street, Rochester, in 1970. The house was built by German carpenters and had fallen on hard times. Charles and Lois recognized its intrinsic worth and accepted the challenge. Lois said. “I was a design major in college. I noticed the little details and saw the possibilities. Besides, I grew up in the city and wanted to be in the thick of things.” Charles said. “I come from a family of carpenters, builders and architects. We had three farms out in Kansas that I managed for a while, and upgraded. I enjoy working with my hands.” The project was a success because they both loved antiques, she was an artist and he was a skilled hobbyist in woodworking. Their son Charles, a Boston Architect, and his three brothers provided moral support and manual labor. The well restored home was a tribute to all of their work. The Clutzes said city life was more pleasant than they had imagined. “It’s amazingly quiet. The city has put in new curbs, trees, walkways and lighting, and we walk to Philharmonic and Eastman School concerts at least once a week. A week can go buy that we don’t use our car, and we’re always in the midst of things like the Oktoberfest.”
Charles was a 1930 graduate of the University of Kansas where he became a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers. After college and marriage, he was assistant to the manager for marketing at Eastman Kodak’s apparatus division. He retired in 1972 as assistant to the manager of KAD Manufacturing, a Kodak subsidiary. Charles was chairman of the property committee at his Lutheran Church.
Charles was a resident of St. John’s Eden Alternative Community, Rochester, when he passed away April 21, 1994.
