Jacob H. Lukentelly was the son of Friederich Wilhelm Luketelli and Maria Becker, neither of whose dates of death or burial places have been located. His siblings were Catherine (1814-1845), m. Sanford Smith Williams; Elizabeth (1816-1906), m. Abram A. Oliver; Marian (b. 1818); Margaret (1820-1901), m. John B. Ehle; John (1822-1881), m. Mary Ann Lemonier & Amelia A. Fellows; and Christopher (1827-1891), m. Lorinda/Darina ____.

The Gazette and Farmers' Journal (Baldwinsville, NY), 29 Aug 1889: "Jacob Luke met with a severe accident Wednesday about noon. He was getting into his wagon near his home on the canal bank when the horse started throwing him under the wagon, both wheels passing over him. One bone of the right arm was broken near the wrist and the other dislocated. Dr. C. E. Heaton attended him and thinks he will regain full use of the injured member."

The Gazette and Farmers' Journal (Baldwinsville, NY), 28 Mar 1895: "Another Accident for Jacob Luke. Jacob Luke, an old man employed at the saw mill of Fairbanks & Taggart, sustained an injury to his right hand Monday about 1:30 PM, which with his previous accidents, will probably put an end to further work along this line. He was sawing wood with a circular saw when the knuckles of his right hand came in contact with the saw and the index finger was cut off and the second finger badly mangled. Dr. Heaton was called and summoned D. A. C. Taylor to assist in administering the chloroform. Mr. Luke entertained the physicians with "Marching Thro' Georgia" while the work of dressing the wound was in progress. A Gazette representative visited Mr. Luke on Tuesday in company with Dr. Heaton. The injured man insisted on sitting up and unwinding the bandages himself for the doctor's inspection of the wound. He told us that he would be seventy years of age in July and was not just sure how soon he should go back to sawing again. His hands are nearly useless from repeated accidents, so many that he almost loses his reckoning in enumerating them. The fingers on his left hand are bent and stiffened from frequent injuries, the back of his hand also being badly scarred. Four times has his left hand been disabled, once in a planer, once with an axe, and twice with a saw. His right hand has sustained three cuts. The right thumb is stiff, third finger off at the second joint, and now the index finger is gone and the second one will be stiff and useless. At another time Mr. Luke's arm was caught in a wheel and badly torn, and again a log rolled on his foot necessitating the use of crutches for some time. During the war, Mr. Luke enlisted on three different occasions, but owing to a chronic ailment was not accepted. He could hardly have been more crippled had he served during the war and engaged in battle three times a day. Despite his age and many mishaps, Mr. Luke is still game and expects to be able to run the saw again in five or six weeks."

The Gazette and Farmers' Journal (Baldwinsville, NY), 17 Aug 1895: "While working at a buzz saw at Fairbanks & Taggart's saw mill last Friday morning, Jacob Lukentelly cut the third finger on his left hand lengthwise from the end down. It was necessary to amputate the member, which was done by Drs. Heaton and Taylor. Mr. Lukentelly has been peculiarly unfortunate in regard to accidents of this kind."

The Gazette and Farmers' Journal (Baldwinsville, NY), 7 Oct 1897: "About five p.m. Wednesday Charles Van Hoesen came running up from the fourth ward in search of a physician to attend Mrs. Jacob Luke, whose had been severely cut. Soon rumors were flying thick and fast to the effect that murder had been attempted, and a Gazette representative went to the scene, where he found Dr. C. E. Heaton in attendance upon the injured woman. The sight to meet his gaze was a most ghastly one. Mrs. Luke was being supported in the arms of her husband, while the physician was dressing a terrible wound in the back of the woman's head. There was blood everywhere. Pillows, sheets, clothing, and even the carpet in the sitting room were saturated. It was difficult to ascertain just how the injury was sustained. People outside claimed that Luke had previously threatened to brain his wife with an axe, and that he had made good on his promise. The immediate family, or those in condition to talk, said it was 'jest foolin'.' The Lukes have a colored pensioner, named Richard Champlin, boarding with them and he took especial pains to impress upon us the fact that 'dar wouldn't be no more foolishness around dar, if dat was de way it turned out.' His theory was that Mr. and Mrs. Luke were 'foolin',' and that she clasped Jacob about the shoulders. He pushed her from him and Mrs. Luke fell, her head striking the edge of the couch. While there is a transparent thinness about this story, yet the only witnesses of the affair stick to it, so it is doubtful if any legal action will be taken. Officer Russell was promptly on the scene, but there seemed to be no reason for his interference and he didn't interfere. The people of that locality say that fights and brawls are of almost daily occurrence, and that something should be done to break up the gang. But as no one seems willing to testify against them nothing results but a continuance of the rows. It is said that Champlin's pension money is a disturbing element, and that liquor is plenty there after the regular receipt of government funds. As it was too dark to get much of an idea of the full extent of the wounds Wednesday night, our reporter visited the Luke house again this morning in company with Dr. Heaton. Mrs. Luke was sitting up, though very weak from loss of blood. She informed us that the gossips of the village had circulated the report that 'Jake' had hit her with an axe, which was false. She said she was joking and stepped up to 'Jake' to kiss him, when he pushed her and she fell against the edge of the couch. She picked herself up and lay down on the bed, not knowing at once that she was hurt. The carpet where she fell is stained with blood. In response to our inquiry Mrs. Luke said she will be a little shy about the manner of caressing Jacob hereafter. The wound is a bad one, being circular in form and so large that a clot of blood the size of an egg was taken from it. The wound could have been made as described. Mrs. Ann Curtis, mother of Mrs. Luke, was in attendance, and was the liveliest kind of a nurse despite her seventy years. Dr. Heaton thinks the patient will recover. Whatever the cause of the injury, it is a terrible one, and will doubtless be long in healing."

The Gazette and Farmers' Journal (Baldwinsville, NY), 14 Oct 1897: "Mrs. Jacob Luke, whose injuries were noted at length in our last issue, is thought to be improving, though the wound in her head heals very slowly."

The Gazette and Farmers' Journal (Baldwinsville, NY), 2 May 1898: "Jacob Luke's much cut hand is so far improved that he is about and ready to go to sawing again or to do any work he may find. It is rarely that a man is found of Mr. Luke's age -- over seventy -- who combines so much ambition and vitality."
