Louis K. Luse. Among the native sons of Wisconsin who have conferred honor and dignity on the state of their birth is found Louis K. Luse, senior member of the law firm of Luse, Powell & Luse, of Superior, who has been a leading factor in public and professional life and a citizen who has been loyal to every trust imposed in him. The character of a community is judged by the world by that of its representative citizens, and yields its tributes of admiration and respect for the genius, learning and labors of those whose works and actions constitute the record of the state's prosperity and pride. In the legal profession, in the field of politics and in the circles of society, Mr. Luse is esteemed for his ability and genuine worth, and it is, therefore, consistent that he be represented in a work of this nature.
Louis K. Luse was born in Dane county, Wisconsin, May 6, 1854, and is a son of Andrew Jackson and Eleanor (Blachly) Luse, natives of Ohio. Mr. Luse's parents were married in their native state, after which, in 1846, they migrated to the Territory of Wisconsin, becoming pioneer farming people of Dane county. Andrew J. Luse was a preacher in the Disciples' Church, and during the Civil war was active in recruiting men for the Union service, two of his sons wearing the uniform: A. B., who was a member of the Fourth Wisconsin Cavalry; and Heaton L., who belonged to an Illinois volunteer infantry regiment. Mr. Luse was a Republican in politics. He died at the age of forty-eight years, in 1863, while his widow survived him for a long period, and passed away in 1910, when in the ninety-fifth year of her age. They were the parents of eleven children, of whom three now survive, and Louis K. was the tenth in order of birth.
Louis K. Luse was given excellent educational advantages, attending the common schools and Albion Academy of Dane county, and the law department of the University of Wisconsin. After his graduation from the latter, in 1876, he first located at Stoughon, Wisconsin, where in 1878 he was elected the first city clerk of that place. In the following year he became a member of the Dane county board of supervisors, and in 1880 was sent as a representative to the General Assembly, in which he served one term. From 1887 to 1891 he acted in the capacity of assistant attorney general of the state, and in June, 1895. was again appointed to that office, but resigned the office six months later to go to St. Paul, Minnesota, as general attorney for the Chicago, Minneapolis, St. Paul & Omaha Railroad, a position which he held for four years. Mr. Luse next located in Madison, Wisconsin, where he formed a professional partnership with Judge A. L. Sanborn, now United States district judge at Madison, under the firm style of Sanborn, Luse & Powell, the firm having offices in Madison and Superior. In 1904, with the retirement from the firm of Judge Sanborn, and the admittance of Mr. Luse's son, the firm became Luse, Powell & Luse, and as such it has continued to remain. This has become known as one of the leading legal firms of Wisconsin, being attorneys for some of Superior's principal enterprises, including the Soo Railroad, the Wisconsin Central Railroad, the First National Bank and the Land & River Company. Since coming to Superior Mr. Luse has served something over one year as city attorney, but resigned on account of the demands of his practice. He is a Republican in his political views. Mr. Luse has a well-balanced and discerning mind, and none have a higher ideal than his of what is due the clients whose cause he undertakes. He has taken rank among the best citizens of the progressive city with which he has become identified, his professional and personal excellencies having made him a leader of sagacity and worth.
Mr. Luse was married first December 31, 1877, to Miss Ella Bartholomew, who was born in Lodi, Wisconsin, and who died July 12, 1900, having been the mother of two children: Claude Z., in practice as a member of the firm of Luse, Powell & Luse, who married Gertrude Baker, of St. Paul, Minnesota; and Katherine, at home. Mr. Luse's second marriage occurred October 22, 1904, when he was united with Miss Louise Sund, born in Stockholm, Sweden, October 12, 1879.
