"Thursday afternoon of last week, Abraham P. Luse, one of Centre Hall's substantial citizens and business men, passed
away after an illness of five weeks, at the age of seventy years, ten months and four days.

Internment was made at Centre Hall, Monday morning, the funeral services having been conducted by Rev. F. W. Barry,
pastor of the Lutheran church, of which denomination the deceased was a member for many years. He was assisted by
Rev. S. A. Snyder, pastor of the United Evangelical church.

In 1888 Mr. Luse moved from near Penns Cave to Centre Hall, where the firm of A. P. Luse & Son was formed, the son being Clement Luse. They have continued conducting the Centre Hall planing mill ever since, and in a financial
way were successful. In connection with the planing mill they also built a number of houses in Centre Hall, and thus
the firm materially aided in building up the town.

The family of the deceased consists of a wife and three children: Clement, W. Milford, and John M., all of Centre Hall; and Emma, wife of John D. Neese, of Auburn, New York. One brother, D. F. Luse, of Centre Hall, and two sisters, namely, Mrs. J. W. Shook, of Spring Mills, and Mrs. Mary Ruttgers, of Lorain, Ohio, also survive. The surviving half-brothers are Perry H., Centre Hall; Lloyd M. Rebersburg; Malcolm A., Johnstown."

Some months ago Mr. Luse fell from a wagon, bruising the flesh on his hip, and just before he took his bed for the last time he contracted a severe cold. About that time the bruise became an open sore, and it gradually grew worse, causing him great pain at all times, and finally his death." (Centre Reporter, Centre Hall, Pa., Oct. 5, 1911)
