       He was born Dec. 13 1886 at Providence, Utah, to John Luthi Sr. and Rosena Switzer Luthi.  He was the first child of his family born in the United States.  His early years were spent in Providence, then his family moved to Bedford, Wyo. when he was about six years old.  They later moved to Freedom, and when Charles became of age, he homesteaded some land which he later sold.  Then he purchased the land where he made his home and raised his family.
       A veteran of World War I, he served in France with the Allied Expeditionary Force.
       He married Carol Emily Hale October 11, 1927 in the Salt Lake Temple.  She died Dec 26, 1966.
      He was active in the LDS Church, serving a two-year mission to California, as a stake missionary, president of the 179th Quorum of Seventy, as a Sunday School teacher, ward teacher and as an MIA worker.  His church was important to him, and he read the scriptures regularly.
       He helped with rodeos that were staged in Freedom, helping to round up cattle and horses for bucking, and then worked in the arena.  He also worked on church building projects.
       He was a devoted father and his family always came first to him.  In winters, he worked in the canyons, and for years his place was identified as "the one with the big woodpiles."  He herded cattle in the hills near Freedom for many years.
       When his health failed him in 1961, he and whis wife moved to Salt Lake City, where he lived until about a year after his wife's death.  He then came back to Star Valley, where his family took care of him until his death.
       He is survived by the following sons and daughters; Mrs. Gerald (Charleen) Putnam, Mrs. Clyde (Genell) Bagley and Mrs. Clint (Gloria) Johnson, all of Auburn, Wyoming; Charles Kent Luthi, Freedom, Wyoming; and John William Luthi, Salt Lake City.  One daughter, a twin, preceded him in death.  Also surviving are 25 grandchildren, two great-grandchildren; and two sisters, Mr. Guy (Ida) Robinson and Mrs. Reynold (Eliza) Robinson, both of Freedom, Wyoming.

She served as president of her ward MIA, as a teacher and sports director for several years; as president of the primary and also a teacher; as relief society president for eight years and as a visiting teacher for many years; and as a Sunday School teacher and librarian.  She was also a 4-H club leader.
       She was greatly interested in sports, and when her children were particiapting she gave them her full support.  As a cook she was very talented, and everyone enjoyed the products of her kitchen.  She often took food to those who were ill or when needed.  She radiated happiness, loved young people and went with them to MIA camps, 4-H camps, swimming and other excursions.  She loved the beauty of the mountains and liked to pick wild berries, go camping, hunting and fishing with her family.  Her family was very speical to her, and she was always doing things for them.
