DR. LUDDEN DEAD – Dedicated Local Lutheran Church And Was Known By Many Local People – Dr. Luther P. Ludden, former pastor of the Grace Lutheran church of Lincoln, and prominent churchman of the town for the last twenty-five years, died suddenly Thursday night at Willingston, S. D., according to word received by his wife at 1336 D Street. He had been a sufferer from kidney trouble for a long time, and that is thought to have been the cause of his death. He was in Dakota in temporary charge of a pulpit, one of his duties as field secretary of the board of missions of the Lutheran church. The body will be brought to Lincoln for burial. Dr. Ludden is survived by a wife, of Lincoln and four children: Mrs. Alden, Kimball; Miss Carrie Ludden, teacher in the Kerney (sic) normal school; John, instructor in the St. Paul, Nebr. high school; and LeRoy on a ranch in Blaine county. Dr. Ludden, 60 years of age December 19, 1914, came to Lincoln twenty-five years ago to establish an English Lutheran church. For thirteen years he was at the head of the institution he founded. Then he went into field secretary work, where he has been since. He was born in Madison, Vt., spent his early days in New York and came to Lincoln from a charge in Albany, New York. (Lincoln Star) – Rev. Ludden was well and favorably known in this vicinity having dedicated the Lutheran church in this city and also filling the pulpit at various times.
